DØ Author List and Masthead

DØ Masthead
(Files last revised on 13 May 2012)

People with access to D0 computing and internal web pages should be listed on the D0 masthead.
Exceptions include short-term contributors such as summer students and undergraduates who will not have significant D0 involvement.

The one year qualification period to become a DØ author normally starts with a person's addition to the masthead.
DØ does not require any specific education or test qualification in order to be added to the masthead though your institution might.

Run 2 DØ Author List
(Files last revised on 13 May 2012)

Simple LaTeX Template produces the postscript and pdf DØ Run 2 Author List.
The more complex template for PRL/PRD produces the results shown on the Physics Coordinators Paper Preparation page:
http://www-d0.fnal.gov/Run2Physics/WWW/templates.htm

The templates need only 2 files as "\input" when run through LaTeX.

These files are the ones which should be used for ALL except Limited Authorship DØ Run2 publications.

New requirment:Please upload author.xml along with your paper when you upload it to arXiv.org.
This will supply the correct authorship attribution for your paper to Spires. The arXiv/Spires people won't have to guess.

Instructions to gain authorship

Addition to the Author List is not automatic!

  1. Full Authorship (normally completed by the person's supervisor or Institutional Board Representative)
    1. Read the Rules and Specific Criteria above.
    2. If you believe that the candidate qualifies, fill out the D0 Full Authorship Application .
      Send the result via e-mail to the Chair of the DØ Authorship Committee

  2. Single Paper Authorship
    1. Read the Single Paper Authorship Guidelines above.
    2. Send an e-mail to the Chair of the DØ Authorship Committee with detailed explanation of why the person should be added. The email must include:
      1. Name of applicant
      2. Title of the single paper for which the request is being made. If the full title isn't yet known, the name of the analysis as used in the physics group is OK. We must be able to uniquely identify the paper.
      3. EB which is handling the paper
      4. Notes of support from the conveners of the physics group in which the work has been done.
      5. Support from the EB chair won't hurt.
      6. Statement of full authorship status. See the guildlines.

    These requests should normally be submitted by a student's adviser, a post doc's or professor's supervisor or the institution's DØ Institutional Representative. But self submission is allowed. The committee will ask why the supervisor didn't submit it. But it is allowed.
