| Abstract: | With this volume The European Physical Journal D (EPJ D) continues its tradition of publishing a selection of papers drawn from the bi-annual main conference in the field of cluster
physics. The readers should be aware that this is not a conference proceeding in the normal sense of the word, i.e. it is not a collection of all posters and papers presented at this conference. Rather, the guest-editors for this volume
of EPJ D have selected only such papers from this conference which comply with the normal high quality standards of a refereed
international scientific journal -- in terms of novelty, soundness and scientific quality. The guest-editors have made sure
that all papers have been subject to a standard refereeing process which ensures these high standards as expected by the readers
of EPJ D. We trust that the specific collection of papers published in this volume will contribute to the future attractiveness
of EPJ D especially in the ever growing field of cluster physics. |
