PRE-PRINTS
Pre-prints are articles and conference materials, which have not been published before in printed form. Contents of these articles are send by their authors in electronic form to an organisation, which stores them and make them available for free via Internet.
The biggest and most popular server giving access to the pre-prints on the subject of High Energetistic Physics and Radioastronomy is CERN (The European Center for Nuclear Research) server. You can find there the pre-prints obtained or scanned from other institutions and part of articles from Los Alamos starting from 1994. They are arranged chronologically in the following order: a month, a week, a day.
If you are looking for an article on a given subject, but you don’t know neither the year not the month of publishing, you can use the search function (search). The documents, you need, you can save on a local disk or you can print. You can save the data in the PostScript, TIFF or PDF formats. More information about these services you can find in "help" located on described pages.
Los Alamos - is the next common server giving you access to the pre-prints on physics, mathematics, nonlinear sciences and computer sciences. Each branch is divided into subbranches. Using this server you can find articles starting from 1991 year. You can look for materials by dates of publication (year, month), by contents (you can search for publication containing a text you need by title, Author or whole description). New materials (from today) or recent materials (from this month) are arranged separately. You can save the texts in the formats: TeX (src), PostScript (ps) and others (PDF, DVI). Additional information about this service you can find in PROFESSIONAL HELP available at the top of a page. To work quickly you can use the mirror of this service in Italy - SISSA.
