Physical Review Accelerators and Beams (PRAB)

Physical Review Accelerators and Beams (PRAB) is a monthly, fully open‑access scientific journal published by the American Physical Society, dedicated to research in accelerator science, beam physics, and related technologies. Founded in 1998 as Physical Review Special Topics – Accelerators and Beams and renamed in 2016, the journal serves as a premier international platform for rigorous peer‑reviewed work across the full spectrum of accelerator science and engineering. Designed to meet the needs of a global community of researchers, engineers, and applied physicists, PRAB emphasizes both foundational scientific advancements and practical technological innovations that enable modern accelerator systems. The journal’s scope includes detailed theoretical studies, advanced experimental results, and computational developments that deepen understanding of beam dynamics, accelerator design, component technology, and associated instrumentation. Because accelerators are critical tools in high‑energy physics, medicine, industry, and material science, PRAB plays a key role in disseminating research that influences both fundamental science and real‑world applications. As an open‑access journal, PRAB provides free access to its full content for readers worldwide, with publication costs supported by institutional sponsorships. The editorial process upholds rigorous standards, ensuring that contributions are innovative, substantive, and of broad relevance to the accelerator community.
