Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
the concept of Symmetry in Physics, with related conservation laws, represents a key ingredient of the field, from formal inputs in the development of a given theoretical framework, to baseline assumptions in driving the development of experiments and of analysis methods and approaches in the related measurements.
This special issue aims at collecting contributions dealing with every aspect of the experimental investigation of the fundamental interactions, which can be considered to be broadly connected to physics properties related to intrinsic characteristics of symmetry or asymmetry. In particular, the aim is to put together an overview of the often unsung experimental strategies, clever detector designs, smart analysis techniques that boost the advancements up in our understanding of fundamental interactions.
For this purpose, based a priori also on a multi-disciplinary ground, we would like to gather papers dealing with the state-of-the-art research in: the development of detector materials that are, or can be in the future, exploited for new detection techniques; the design of new frontier experiments related to fundamental interaction studies, and particularly to the direct or indirect search for dark matter; the implementation of new data analysis, event reconstruction and detector calibration strategies.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Symmetry is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
