Young Researchers' Meeting

Rome, 3-5 May 2006

The view from inside the largest prison in Rome: the Parthenon

Deadline for submission of abstracts: 01/03/2006

To submit an abstract, please adhere to the following procedure:

1. Download the abstract template: available as an OpenOffice.org 1.0 Text Document (.sxw) or as a LaTeX (.tex) file. If neither format suits you, use a plain text format, and ask yourself why you are doing theoretical physics.
2. Fill in the template. You will have to modify or delete some of the suggested fields. Save the file as lastname.sxw or lastname.tex. Please, don't change the page settings, and keep to one page only!
3. If possible, create a printable PDF file in A4 format with embedded fonts from the .sxw or .dvi.
• For the .sxw, OpenOffice has a PDF export function; the template is in A4 already.
• For the .dvi, we find the following gives good results

dvipdfm -p a4 -o abstract.pdf abstract.dvi

The two step method also works (if you dont have dvipdfm), but not so well sometimes: (ligatures, etc.)

dvips -Ppdf -ta4 abstract.dvi -o abstract.ps ;
ps2pdf abstract.ps abstract.pdf

4. Try printing your PDF file. Give yourself a pat on the back if it looks ok.
5. Send your lastname.pdf file directly to young_res_meeting@roma2.infn.it. Please indicate in the e-mail if you prefer an oral or a poster presentation. We cannot guarantee everyone will give a talk, however, due to pressures on time.
6. Send, in a separate mail, the .sxw or .tex,.eps files (put in a .tar.gz bundle with any .eps files)
7. Go back to work.
