Preface

For many years, the Landolt-Börnstein—Group I Elementary Particles, Nuclei and Atoms, Vol. 21A (Physics and Methods. Theory and Experiments, 2008), Vol. 21B1 (Elementary Particles. Detectors for Particles and Radiation. Part 1: Principles and Methods, 2011), Vol. 21B2 (Elementary Particles. Detectors for Particles and Radiation. Part 2: Systems and Applications), and Vol. 21C (Elementary Particles. Accelerators and Colliders, 2013), has served as a major reference work in the field of high-energy physics. When, not long after the publication of the last volume, open access (OA) became a reality for HEP journals in 2014, discussions between Springer and CERN intensified to find a solution for the “La
