Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) Near Detector Conceptual Design Report

A. Abed Abud, B. Abi, R. Acciarri et al. · 29 Sep 2021

The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) is an international, world-class experiment aimed at exploring fundamental questions about the universe that are at the forefront of astrophysics and particle physics research. DUNE will study questions pertaining to the preponderance of matter over antimatter in the early universe, the dynamics of supernovae, the subtleties of neutrino interaction…

Quench Detection and Protection for High-Temperature Superconductor Accelerator Magnets

M. Marchevsky · 5 Aug 2021

High-temperature superconductors (HTS) are being increasingly used for magnet applications. One of the known challenges of practical conductors made with high-temperature superconductor materials is a slow normal zone propagation velocity resulting from a large superconducting temperature margin in combination with a higher heat capacity compared to conventional low-temperature superconductors (LTS). As a result, traditional voltage-based…

Quenching Circuit and SPAD Integrated in CMOS 65 nm with 7.8 ps FWHM Single Photon Timing Resolution

F. Nolet, Samuel Parent, N. Roy et al. · 22 Sep 2018

This paper presents a new quenching circuit (QC) and single photon avalanche diode (SPAD) implemented in TSMC CMOS 65 nm technology. The QC was optimized for single photon timing resolution (SPTR) with a view to an implementation in a 3D digital SiPM. The presented QC has a timing jitter of 4 ps full width at…

HTS Accelerator Magnet and Conductor Development in Europe

L. Rossi, Carmine Senatore · 23 Feb 2021

In view of the preparation for a post-LHC collider, in 2010 the high-energy physics (HEP) community started to discuss various options, including the use of HTS for very high-field dipoles. Therefore, a small program was begun in Europe that aimed at exploring the possibility of using HTS for accelerator-quality magnets. Based on various EU-funded programs,…

Silicon Photomultipliers: Technology Optimizations for Ultraviolet, Visible and Near-Infrared Range

Fabio Acerbi, G. Paternoster, M. Capasso et al. · 12 Feb 2019

Silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs) are single-photon sensitive solid-state detectors that are becoming popular for several applications, thanks to massive performance improvements over the last years. Starting as a replacement for the photomultiplier tube (PMT), they are now used in medical applications, big high-energy physics experiments, nuclear physics experiments, spectroscopy, biology and light detection and ranging (LIDAR)…

Instruments template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Instruments format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Instruments template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official MDPI format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Instruments use?
Instruments uses Numbered (MDPI) references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: 1. Smith, A.; Jones, B.; Lee, C. A Representative Article Title. Instruments 2023, 12, 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Instruments?
No. DocuGuru generates the mdpi LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a MDPI-ready Instruments document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Instruments template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Instruments format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
What is Instruments?
Instruments - MDPI Journal. It is a multidisciplinary journal, published by MDPI.
Can I export a submission-ready Instruments PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Instruments template (the mdpi class) that is ready to submit to MDPI, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Instruments template cost?
You can start writing in the Instruments template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Instruments PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
