ANNOUNCEMENT — phasing in of article publication charges
Acta Physica Polonica A is introducing article publication charges (APCs) at a minimum level that will allow us to continue to maintain the journal for the community. The detailed regulations and the license agreement for this change are publicly available and apply legally.
APC applies for published manuscripts submitted from 3 September 2025 and is 400 Euros/1600 PLN per paper not longer than 10 printed pages and 25 Euros/100 PLN per each additional page. It is possible to waive the publication charge upon request for manuscripts submitted during the transition period, i.e., from September 3, 2025, till December 31, 2025, but the manuscript will be then processed at a lower priority and its publication may be delayed by up to three months.
How submissions proceed:
- the paper at the time of submission should be prepared according to the Guide for Authors;
- during submission, an email declaration of the corresponding author is required that the submitted article is not under consideration in any other journal and that the authors are aware of the obligation to pay APC within the timeframe;
- once the paper is accepted please send us the completed license agreement;
- payment details and amount will be sent to the corresponding author after acceptance of the paper and receipt of the publication and license agreement.

Vol. 148 No. 6 (2025): Proceedings of the 2nd Symposium on New Trends in Nuclear and Medical Physics
The 2nd Symposium on New Trends in Nuclear and Medical Physics was organized by the Jagiellonian University and the AGH University of Science and Technology in Kraków, Poland. The conference took place on September 24–26, 2025, at the Faculty of Physics, Astronomy, and Applied Computer Science located on the Jagiellonian University campus.
Following the success of the previous symposium, organized in 2023, this event continued the idea of bringing together scientists from the field of nuclear and particle physics, medicine, and healthcare.
One of the main purposes of the Symposium was to provide a platform for leading experts, experienced scientists, and young scientists to exchange new and innovative ideas and findings in various fields of research. The Symposium promoted multidisciplinary collaboration and presented new findings in the fields of positron emission tomography (PET) imaging, radiopharmaceuticals, positronium physics, new applications of protons and neutrons, nuclear physics, and next-generation particle detectors. For young scientists, the Symposium was an excellent opportunity to engage in interesting discussions, identify potential trends in the development of nuclear and medical physics, and interact with experts in their respective fields.
The scientific scope covered the following fields:
- Innovation in PET imaging and hybrid modalities (PET/CT, PET/MRI; where CT — computer tomography, MRI — magnetic resonance imaging);
- Advances in radiopharmaceuticals for targeted imaging and therapy;
- Radiobiological models for optimizing preclinical and clinical research;
- Proton and neutron applications in imaging and cancer therapy;
- Next generation particle detection technologies, exotic atoms and nuclei;
- Positronium physics in matter–antimmater studies and medical applications;
- Artificial intelligence with a diverse role in medical imaging and data analysis.
The Symposium included a special session on high-performance data analytics (HPDA) training, where experts gave live demonstrations and shared their knowledge on big data processing and parallel computing. The session was designed specifically for young researchers who want to learn techniques from established practices and tailor them for their research work. The Conference Proceedings have been published in this issue of Acta Physica Polonica A, as well as in Bio-Algorithms and Med-Systems.
