The European Physical Journal C (EPJ C) is an open-access single-blind peer-reviewed journal, APCs completely covered by SCOAP3 (scoap3.org) and licensed under CC BY 4.0. EPJ C presents new and original research results in theoretical physics and experimental physics, in a variety of formats, including Regular Articles, Reviews and Letters. The range of topics is extensive: Experimental Physics I: Accelerator Based High-Energy Physics Hadron and lepton collider physics Lepton-nucleon scattering High-energy nuclear reactions Standard model precision tests Search for new physics beyond the standard model Heavy flavour physics Neutrino properties Particle detector developments Computational methods and analysis tools Experimental Physics II: Astroparticle Physics Dark matter searches High-energy cosmic rays Double beta decay Long baseline neutrino experiments Neutrino astronomy Axions and other weakly interacting light particles Gravitational waves and observational cosmology Particle detector developments Computational methods and analysis tools Theoretical Physics I: Phenomenology of the Standard Model and Beyond Electroweak interactions Quantum chromo dynamics Heavy quark physics and quark flavour mixing Neutrino physics Phenomenology of astro- and cosmoparticle physics Meson spectroscopy and non-perturbative QCD Low-energy effective field theories Lattice field theory High temperature QCD and heavy ion physics Phenomenology of supersymmetric extensions of the SM Phenomenology of non-supersymmetric extensions of the SM Model building and alternative models of electroweak symmetry breaking Flavour physics beyond the SM Computational Algorithms and Tools Theoretical Physics II: Gravitation, Astroparticle Physics and Cosmology, General Aspects of Quantum Field Theories, and Alternatives Classical and quantum theory of gravitation Extended theories of gravity High-energy astroparticle physics Cosmology and the early universe Black hole dynamics Mathematical aspects of quantum field theories, and alternatives Supergravity and string theory Gauge/gravity dualities Commonly used title abbreviations: Eur.
