Nuclear Physics B focuses on the domain of high energy physics and quantum field theory, and includes three main sections, i.e. particle physics (including particle physics; cosmology, astrophysics and gravitation; the physics of hadrons; computer simulations in physics; methods in theoretical physics), field theory and statistical systems and physical mathematics. The emphasis is on original research papers. Conference proceedings on the topics covered by Nuclear Physics B are published in the (separately available) journal Nuclear Physics B - Proceedings Supplements (NPB(PS)).
