\begin{abstract}
This document describes the  preparation of an article using \LaTeXe\ and 
\verb"iopart.cls" (the IOP \LaTeXe\ preprint class file).
This class file is designed to help 
authors produce preprints in a form suitable for submission to any of the
journals published by Institute of Physics Publishing.

Authors submitting to any IOP journal, i.e.\ 
to double-column journals as well as the single-column  
ones,
should follow the guidelines set out here. 
On acceptance, their source code will be converted to 
the appropriate journal format at Institute of Physics Publishing. 
For the printed version, Times fonts (and Helvetica in double-column 
journals) will be used instead of the Computer Modern used in the preprint
form.

\section{Introduction}
Many authors use \LaTeX\ to 
produce their typescripts
and we can use the source code to produce the printed version;  this gives 
more rapid publication with a smaller chance of typographical 
error.

We explain here the procedures and specific requirements for 
the preparation and presentation of text and illustrations for 
articles in \LaTeXe\ using the IOPP class file 
\verb"iopart.cls". We also illustrate \verb"iopart.cls" through 
its use in the creation of this document. The
class file and accompanying documentation are available to all authors 
and copies can be 
obtained (free of charge)
\begin{itemize}
\item from the World Wide Web (\verb"http://www.iop.org/Journals/texstyle")
by downloading zipped files for PCs or tar compressed format files for
Unix
\item from the World Wide Web by using our 
Author Enquiry Service\\ (\verb"http://www.iop.org/Journals/AES")
to request that the files be sent on disk
\item by contacting the Electronic Services Specialist,
Institute of Physics Publishing, Dirac House, Temple Back, 
Bristol BS1~6BE, UK (\verb"esub@ioppublishing.co.uk") and requesting 
the files be sent by e-mail or on 3$1\over2$ inch PC or Macintosh disk
\end{itemize}

There are 10 and 12 point versions of the style, but the 12pt
version should be used for preprints and is selected by opening the file
with the initial line:
\begin{verbatim}
\documentclass[12pt]{iopart}
\end{verbatim}
If the \verb"[12pt]" is omitted the article will be set in 10pt type (i.e.
in the same size type as in the printed journal).
The 12pt version 
of the style gives a `preprint' form with a page width and type size 
1.2 times larger than that for normal single-column journals
with extra spacing between lines. The page depth is less than 1.2 times
the normal page depth so that articles will fit on the page on both 
A4 and Letter paper.
This form is the one required for 
the initial submission of a typescript for 
refereeing and copy editing. Authors need not aim to optimize the line and
page breaks as they will inevitably change when converted to the final
format for printing.

The 10 pt version has the same page dimensions and type sizes as a
single-column journal and shows approximately 
how the text would appear in print. It can also be used to produce 
camera-ready copy for journal special issues.

Other compatible
\LaTeXe\ packages can be used if they are available in the normal
distribution of \LaTeXe; if it is essential to use
a non-standard package then the extra files needed to process the 
article must also be sent in. Authors should be aware that the final 
version will be printed on a different page size and using different fonts 
to the preprint version so that any special effects used should not
contain material that is not easily scalable.

We recommend that authors use the IOPP \LaTeXe\ class file; 
however articles prepared using almost any  version of \TeX\ or \LaTeX\ 
can be 
handled (${\cal AMS}$\TeX, L${\cal AMS}$TeX, PHYZZX, etc) 
and authors not using the IOPP 
style files
can submit their source code in the way described 
below. 
Alterations to the source code will be made in-house by the 
Production Department in order to conform to IOPP house style and 
journal format.

We aim to maintain our normal standards 
for articles published from \TeX\ and \LaTeX\ files so we reserve 
the right to make small alterations  to clarify and improve the 
English where necessary and to put the article into IOPP house style.

\subsection{Double-column journals}
Authors writing for double-column journals should also use the IOPP preprint
macros. Conversion from the single-column format to the double-column 
output required for printing will be done by the Production Department 
at Institute of Physics
Publishing.


\section{Submitting new articles}

\subsection{Sending in files for submission to internally refereed journals}
\label{int}
Articles for consideration for publication in the journals listed in 
table~\ref{e-mail} may be submitted electronically without the need to 
supply hard copies of the manuscript. 
Those journals are refereed internally. 
Articles for consideration by all other IOPP journals must be submitted in hard copy form. Electronic files can then be sent in on acceptance or when requested by the editor.

Authors are asked to prepare their articles using the 12pt 
style and submit by World Wide Web upload, e-mail, FTP or on PC or Mac 
floppy disk.
Please send all files necessary to reproduce your article, 
including the article itself and all figure files. 
Combine all your files into a single archive using a compression or archiving 
program. Utilities like WinZIP or StuffIt will both archive and compress your 
files. Alternatively you could archive your files using a program like TAR 
and compress the resulting file using gzip.


\subsection{By World Wide Web upload}
Users of Netscape (version 2 or higher) or Internet Explorer 
(version 4 or higher) can submit using our World Wide Web upload form.
This can be found at 
\verb"http://www.iop.org/Journals/authorsubs"
Complete the on-line form with information about your submission and then upload 
your article in one of two ways.

\begin{enumerate}
\item Having created a single compressed file containing an archive of your text 
and graphics files, use the `Browse...' button on the form to select that file.

\item If your article has already been posted to the LANL e-print archive, select 
the archive name and enter the e-print number. ({\it Note}: We cannot download 
your paper from the LANL e-print server until it has been publicly released, 
usually by 10 pm on the day you submitted it there.) Use the `Transfer File' 
button at the bottom of the form to submit your file.
\end{enumerate}


\subsection{By E-mail} 
\label{byemail}
Files should be sent to the relevant journal mailbox (see table~\ref{e-mail}).
Please send articles as attachments to e-mail messages. 
Any additional files such as figure files should be combined into a single archive with the article file as described in section~\ref{int}. 
All information about the submission should be included in the main body of the message.
This must include:
\begin{itemize}
\item Your full name
\item The name of the journal to which you are submitting
\item The full title of the article
\item The full list of authors
\item The article type (e.g. Paper, Letter to the Editor etc.)
\item The status of the article (i.e. new revised or accepted)
\item Your postal address
\item Your e-mail address
\item Your telephone number
\item Your fax number (if applicable)
\item The article file format (i.e. \LaTeXe)
\item The number of separate figure files
\end{itemize}

\subsection{By FTP}
Create a file named \verb"readme.txt" containing all your submission information 
(e.g. your name, the name of the journal you are submitting to etc. See section ~\ref{byemail} 
for full list).
Create a single compressed file containing an archive of your text and graphics 
files along with the file \verb"readme.txt".
Files should be sent by anonymous FTP to \verb"ftp.iop.org". 
Please logon with the username {\it anonymous} and use your e-mail address as 
the password.
Change to the directory \verb"/incoming" and then change to the directory of the
journal to which you wish to submit and
upload your files. 
Please do not create any new directories on our server.
Your files will remain in the \verb"/incoming" directory for no more than 90 minutes 
before they are moved to a secure location.

\subsection{On Floppy Disk}
Files may be sent in on 3.5 inch PC or Apple Macintosh formatted disk. 
Please include a file named \verb"readme.txt" containing all your submission 
information as described above.


\section{Preparing your article}
Using \LaTeX\ with the \verb"iopart" class file 
provides a simple way of 
producing an article in a form suitable for publication in one 
of the IOPP journals. Authors may add their own macros 
at the start of an article 
provided they do not overwrite existing definitions and 
that they send copies of their new macros with their text file.
\verb"iopart" can be used with other package files such
as those loading the AMS extension fonts 
\verb"msam" and \verb"msbm" (these fonts provide the 
blackboard bold alphabet 
and various extra maths symbols as well as symbols useful in figure 
captions); an extra style file \verb"iopams.sty" is provided to load these
packages and provide extra definitions for bold Greek letters.

In preparing your article you are 
requested to follow these guidelines as closely as possible; this will 
minimize the amount of file editing required and will hasten the 
production process. This is particularly important with regard to the 
reference list.

The file name can be up to eight characters long with the suffix 
\verb".tex". 
Please use files names that are likely to be unique, and include 
commented material to identify the journal, author and reference number if 
known. The first non-commented line should be 
\verb"\documentclass[12pt]{iopart}"  to load the preprint class 
file. Other standard predeclared option files can be included in 
square brackets;
copies of any non-standard options must be sent in with the source code.
Omitting \verb"[12pt]" produces an article with the normal journal
page and type sizes. Macros for the individual paper not included 
in a style file
should be inserted in the preamble to the paper with comments to
describe any complex or non-obvious ones.
The start of the article text is signalled by 
\verb"\begin{document}".
Authors of very long articles may find it convenient to separate 
their article 
into a series of files each containing a section, each of which is called 
in turn by the primary file. 

\section{The title and abstract page} 
The code for setting the title page information is slightly different from
the normal default in \LaTeX. 

\subsection{Titles and article types}
The title is set in bold unjustified type using the command
\verb"\title{#1}", where \verb"#1" is the title of the article. The
first letter 
of the title should be capitalized with the rest in lower case. 
Mathematical expressions within the title may be left in light-face type 
rather than bold because the Computer Modern bold maths and symbol
fonts may not be available at the size required for the title.  
The final 
printed version will have bold mathematical expressions 
in the title. If the title is unsuitable for use as a running head a short
form can be provided as an optional argument (in square brackets)
before the full title, i.e. \verb"\title[Short title]{Full title}".
A short title is required 
when the title itself is too long to 
be used 
as the short title or when the title contains a footnote. 

For article types other than papers the IOPP class file, \verb"iopart.cls", 
allows 
a generic heading \verb"\article[Short title]{TYPE}{Full title}" 
and the specific 
definitions given in table~\ref{arttype}. In each case (apart from Letters
to the Editor) an 
optional argument can be used immediately after the control sequence name
to specify the short title; where no short title is given the full title
will be used as the running head at the top of each page apart from the
first. 
For Letters no short title is required as 
the running head is automatically defined to be {\it Letter to the Editor}.
The generic heading could be used for 
articles such as those presented at a conference or workshop, e.g.
\begin{verbatim}
\article[Short title]{WORKSHOP ON HIGH-ENERGY PHYSICS}{Title}
\end{verbatim}


\begin{table}
\caption{\label{arttype}Types of article defined in the {\tt iopart.cls} 
class file.}
\begin{tabular*}{\textwidth}{@{}l*{15}{@{\extracolsep{0pt plus12pt}}l}}

\verb"\letter{#1}"&Letter&LETTER TO THE EDITOR\\
\verb"\article{#1}{#2}"&Other articles&Whatever is entered as {\tt 
\#1}\\
\br
\end{tabular*}
\end{table}

\subsection{Authors' names and addresses}
The next information required is the list of authors' names and 
their affiliations. For the authors' names type \verb"\author{#1}", 
where \verb"#1" is the 
list of all authors' names. The style for the names is initials then
surname, with a comma after all but the last 
two names, which are separated by `and'. Initials should {\it not} have 
full stops. First names may be used if 
desired. If the authors are at different addresses one of the symbols 
\dag, \ddag, \S, $\|$, \P, $^+$, *, $\sharp$ should be used after each 
surname to reference an author to his/her address. 
The symbols should be used in the order given.  If 
an author has additional information to appear as a footnote, such as 
a permanent address, and the
footnote symbols are not being used to identify an address,
the footnote should be entered after the surname
as a normal \LaTeX\ footnote, without
specifying a sign. Where footnote symbols are being used to indicate
which address the author is at, the 
symbol used for a footnote should be the next one from the list given 
above and has to be selected individually using the command
\verb"\footnote[<num>]{Text of footnote}", where \verb"<num>" is a
number representing the position of the desired symbol in the list above,
i.e.\ 1 for \dag, 2 for \ddag, etc.

The addresses of the authors' affiliations follow the list of authors. 
Each address is set by using
\verb"\address{#1}" with the address as the single parameter in braces. 
If there is more 
than one address then the appropriate symbol should come at the start of
the address.
 
Please also add the corresponding author's e-mail address if applicable. This is done by inserting the 
command \verb"\ead{#1}" before the command \verb"\maketitle" where \verb"#1" is the e-mail address.  
See section~\ref{startsample} for sample coding. For more than one e-mail address, please use the command 
\verb"\eads{\mailto{#1}, \mailto{#2}}" with \verb"\mailto" surrounding each e-mail address. These 
macros allow us to convert e-mail addresses to `mailto' links when articles are published on our 
website.

\subsection{The abstract}
The abstract follows the addresses and
should give readers concise information about the content 
of the article and indicate the main results obtained and conclusions 
drawn. It should be complete in itself with no table numbers, figure 
numbers or references included and should not normally exceed 200 
words.
To indicate the start 
of the abstract type \verb"\begin{abstract}" followed by the text of the 
abstract (not in braces).  The abstract should normally be restricted 
to a single paragraph and is terminated by the command
\verb"\end{abstract}"

\subsection{Subject classification numbers}
Following the abstract come any
Physics and Astronomy Classification System (PACS) codes
or American Mathematical Society 
(AMS) classification scheme numbers.  
The command 
\verb"\pacs{#1}", with the subject classification numbers from the  
Physics and Astronomy Classification Scheme as the parameter, defines 
the subject area of the paper (or for a single number \verb"\pacno{#1}").  
If PACS numbers are not readily 
available, {\it Physics Abstracts\/} classification scheme numbers can be 
given instead. If this command  is omitted the 
classification numbers for indexing
will be allocated by IOPP staff. It is 
unnecessary to supply PACS numbers for {\it Inverse 
Problems} and {\it Physics in Medicine and Biology}.
AMS classification numbers may be given as well as, or instead of, PACS 
numbers for mathematical articles, they are specified using the 
command \verb"\ams{#1}".
After any classification numbers the command
\verb"\submitto{#1}" can be inserted, where \verb"#1" is the journal name written in full or the appropriate control sequence as
given in 
~\ref{jlab1}. This will print a line indicating that the article has been submitted to one of the Institute of Physics journals. The command is not essential to the running of the file.  


\subsection{Making a separate title page}
The command \verb"\maketitle" forces a page break after the point where it
is inserted and so to keep the header material on a separate page from the
body of the text insert \verb"\maketitle" or \verb"\newpage" after the
classification codes 
or the end of the abstract. 
If \verb"\maketitle" is not included the text of the
article will start immediately after the abstract.  


\subsection{Sample coding for the start of an article}
\label{startsample}
The code for the start of a title page of a typical paper might read:
\begin{verbatim}
\documentclass[12pt]{iopart}
\begin{document}
\title[The anomalous magnetic moment of the 
neutrino]{The anomalous magnetic moment of the 
neutrino and its relation to the solar neutrino problem}

\author{P J Smith\dag, T M Collins\ddag,

\end{verbatim}

\subsection{AMS macros}
Please do not use the style file \verb"amsmath.sty" (part of the AMSTeX package) in conjunction with \verb"iopart.cls". This will result in several errors. To make use of the macros defined in \verb"amsmath.sty", we have provided the file \verb"setstack.sty" which reproduces the following useful macros from \verb"amsmath.sty":
\begin{verbatim}
\overset
\underset
\sideset
\substack
\boxed
\leftroot
\uproot
\dddot
\ddddot
\varrow
\harrow
\end{verbatim}
\section{The text}
\subsection{Sections, subsections and subsubsections}
The text of papers and reviews, but not comments or letters, should be 
divided into sections, subsections and, where necessary, 
subsubsections. To start a new section, end the previous paragraph and 
then include \verb"\section" followed by the section heading within braces. 
Numbering of sections is done {\it automatically} in the headings: 
sections will be numbered 1, 2, 3, etc, subsections will be numbered 
2.1, 2.2,  3.1, etc, and subsubsections will be numbered 2.3.1, 2.3.2, 
etc.  Cross references to other sections in the text should, where
possible, be made using 
labels (see section~\ref{xrefs}) but can also
be made manually. See section~\ref{eqnum} for information on the numbering of displayed equations. Subsections and subsubsections are 
similar to sections but 
the commands are \verb"\subsection" and \verb"\subsubsection" respectively. 
Sections have a bold heading, subsections an italic heading and 
subsubsections an italic heading with the text following on directly.
\begin{verbatim}
\section{This is the section title}
\subsection{This is the subsection title}
\end{verbatim}


The first section is normally an introduction,  which should state clearly 
the object of the work, its scope and the main advances reported, with 
brief references to relevant results by other workers. In long papers it is 
helpful to indicate the way in which the paper is arranged and the results 
presented.

For articles not divided into sections, precede the 
start of the text (without leaving a blank line)
with the command \verb"\nosections", which provides the 
appropriate space and causes the paragraph indentation to be cancelled 
for the first paragraph.

Footnotes should be avoided whenever possible. If required they should be 
used only for brief notes that do not fit conveniently into the text. The 
standard \LaTeX\ macro \verb"\footnote" should be used and will normally
give an appropriate symbol; if a footnote sign needs to be specified
directly \verb"\footnote[<num>]{Text}" can be used instead where
\verb"<num>" is the number of the appropriate symbol as discussed in 
relation to authors (1~=~\verb"\dag", 2~=~\verb"\ddag", 3~=~\verb"\S", 
etc).  

\subsection{Acknowledgments}
Authors wishing to acknowledge assistance or encouragement from 
colleagues, special work by technical staff or financial support from 
organizations should do so in an unnumbered Acknowledgments section 
immediately following the last numbered section of the paper. The 
command \verb"\ack" sets the acknowledgments heading as an unnumbered
section. For Letters 
\verb"\ack" does not set a heading but leaves a line space and does not 
indent the next paragraph.

\subsection{Appendices}
Technical detail that it is necessary to include, but that interrupts 
the flow of the article, may be consigned to an appendix. 
Any appendices should be included at the end of the main text of the paper, after the acknowledgments section (if any) but before the reference list.
If there are 
two or more appendices they will be called Appendix A, Appendix B, etc. 
Numbered equations will be in the form (A.1), (A.2), etc,
figures will appear as figure A1, figure B1, etc and tables as table A1,
table B1, etc.

The command \verb"\appendix" is used to signify the start of the
appendixes. Thereafter \verb"\section", \verb"\subsection", etc, will 
give headings appropriate for an appendix. To obtain a simple heading of 
`Appendix' use the code \verb"\section*{Appendix}". If it contains
numbered equations, figures or tables the command \verb"\appendix" should
precede it and \verb"\setcounter{section}{1}" must follow it. 
 
\subsection{Some matters of style}
It will help your readers if your article is written in a clear,
consistent and concise manner. The Production Department at Institute of Physics
Publishing will try to make sure that your work is presented to its
readers in the best possible way without sacrificing the individuality of
your writing.

The main elements of consistency and style we look for 
are presented in the booklet 
{\it Notes for Authors} (available upon request from Institute of Physics 
Publishing, 
Dirac House, Temple Back, Bristol, BS1 6BE, UK or from our World Wide
Web site (\verb"http://www.iop.org/Journals/nfa/"). Some recommended 
points to note, however, are the following.
\begin{enumerate}
\item Authors are often inconsistent in the use of `ize' and `ise' endings.
We recommend using `-ize' spellings (diagonalize, 
renormalization, minimization, etc) but there are some common 
exceptions to this, for example: devise, 
promise and advise.

\item English spellings are preferred (colour, flavour, behaviour, 
tunnelling, artefact, focused, focusing, fibre, etc). We write of a 
computer program on disk; otherwise, we use `programme' and `disc'.

\item The words table, figure, equation and reference should be written 
in full and {\bf not} contracted to Tab., fig., eq. and ref.
\end{enumerate}

Please check your article carefully for accuracy, consistency and clarity before
submission. Remember that your article will probably be read by many
people whose native language is not English and who may not therefore 
be aware of many of the subtle meanings of words or idiomatic phases
present in the English language. It therefore helps if you try and keep
sentences as short and simple as possible.

\section{Mathematics}
\subsection{Two-line constructions}
The great advantage of \LaTeX\ 
over other text processing systems is its 
ability to handle mathematics to almost any degree of complexity. However, 
in order to produce an article suitable for publication within a journal, 
authors should exercise some restraint on the constructions used.
For simple fractions in the text the solidus \verb"/", as in 
$\lambda/2\pi$, should be used instead of \verb"\frac" or \verb"\over", 
care being taken to use parentheses where necessary to avoid ambiguity, 
for example to distinguish between $1/(n-1)$ and $1/n-1$. Exceptions to 
this are the proper fractions $\frac12$, $\frac13$, $\frac34$, 
etc, which are better left in this form. In displayed equations 
horizontal lines are preferable to solidi provided the equation is 
kept within a height of two lines. A two-line solidus should be 
avoided where possible; the construction $(\ldots)^{-1}$ should be 
used instead; for example use:
\begin{equation*}
\frac{1}{M_{\rm a}}\left(\int^\infty_0{\rm d}
\omega\;\frac{|S_o|^2}{N}\right)^{-1}
\end{equation*}
instead of
\begin{equation*}
\frac{1}{M_{\rm a}}\biggl/\int^\infty_0{\rm d}
\omega\;\frac{|S_o|^2}{N}.
\end{equation*}


\subsection{Roman and italic in mathematics}
In mathematics mode \LaTeX\ automatically sets variables in an italic 
font. In most cases authors should accept this italicization. However, 
there are some cases where it is better to use a Roman font; for 
instance, IOPP journals use a Roman d for a differential d, a Roman e 
for an exponential e and a Roman i for the square root of $-1$. To 
accommodate this and to simplify the  typing of equations we have 
provided some extra definitions. \verb"\rmd", \verb"\rme" and \verb"\rmi" 
now gives Roman d, e and i respectively for use in equations, 
e.g.\ $\rmi x\rme^{2x}\rmd x/\rmd y$ 
is obtained by typing \verb"$\rmi x\rme^{2x}\rmd x/\rmd y$". 
 

Certain other common mathematical functions, such as cos, sin, det and 
ker, should appear in Roman type. \LaTeX\ provides macros for 
most of these functions 
(in the cases above, \verb"\cos", \verb"\sin", \verb"\det" and \verb"\ker" 
respectively); we have also provided 
additional definitions for $\Tr$, $\tr$ and 
$\Or$ (\verb"\Tr", \verb"\tr" and \verb"\Or", respectively). 

Subscripts and superscripts should be in Roman type if they are labels 
rather than variables or characters that take values. For example in the 
equation
\[
\epsilon_m=-g\mu_{\rm n}Bm
\]
$m$, the $z$ component of the nuclear spin, is italic because it can have 
different values whereas n is Roman because it 
is a label meaning nuclear ($\mu_{\rm n}$ 
is the nuclear magneton).

\subsection{Alignment of mathematics}
\subsubsection{Alignment on the secondary margin.}
IOPP style for displayed mathematics in single-column journals
is not to centre equations, 
as \LaTeX\ normally does, but to have each equation indented to a 
secondary margin a fixed 
distance from the left-hand margin of the text, except for long 
equations that will just fit on one line, or need to be continued on 
subsequent lines, which start full left.  
Any continuation lines are indented the fixed amount. 
The macros in the IOPP preprint style automatically 
line equations up on the 
secondary margin unless they are set within double dollar signs.
Thus the use of double dollar signs should be avoided and the alternative
\verb"\[ ... \]" should be used instead for unnumbered equations.
The equation environment should normally be used for numbered single-line
equations and the eqnarray array environment for multiline equations.
It is then only necessary to indicate which lines 
should start full left and this is done by including \verb"\fl" (full
left) at the start of the lines. 
Thus the equations:
\begin{eqnarray}
\phi_{k}(\vec{r})=(2\pi)^{-3/2} \exp(\rmi\vec{k}\cdot\vec{r}) \\
N^+=\exp(\case12\pi\nu)\Gamma(1-\rmi\nu).
\end{eqnarray} 
are set with the code
\begin{verbatim}
\begin{eqnarray}
\phi_{k}(\vec{r})=(2\pi)^{-3/2} \exp(\rmi\vec{k}\bdot\vec{r}) \\
N^+=\exp(\case12\pi\nu)\Gamma(1-\rmi\nu).
\end{eqnarray} 
\end{verbatim}
Where an equation will not fit on a line if indented but would if it 
were not, then the equation is started full left and this is achieved 
simply by adding \verb"\fl" to the start of the line. For example
the equation
\begin{equation}
\fl R_{\rho l m,\rho'l'm'}(E)=\frac{1}{r_0}\sum_{i,j}\;\langle\rho l m r_0
\mid\Phi_i\rangle\; [(H_{\Omega}+B)-ES_{\Omega}]^{-1}_{i,j}\;\langle\Phi_j
\mid\rho'l'm'r_0\rangle. 
\end{equation}
does not fit on the line if indented to the secondary margin but fits in 
comfortably when full left.


For equations which do not fit on one line, even if started full left,
the first line should be set full left with the turnover lines at the 
secondary margin. This is achieved by using the eqnarray
environment
and adding \verb"\fl" at the start 
of the first line and \verb"\\" at the end of each line (apart from
the final line of the equation). Equations should be split at 
mathematically sound points, often at =, + or $-$ signs or between 
terms multiplied together. The connecting signs are not repeated and 
appear only at the beginning of the turned-over line. A multiplication 
sign should be added to the start of turned-over lines where the break 
is between two multiplied terms. Where an equation is broken at an 
equals sign (or similar, i.e.\ $\equiv$, $\le$, $\sim$, etc) the sign 
is made more prominent by aligning it to the left of the secondary 
margin; where it is a +, $-$ or $\times$ the sign goes to the right. 
Alignment to the left of the secondary margin is achieved by adding 
\verb"\lo" in front of the sign (and enclosing the sign within braces if it 
consists of more than one character or control sequence, e.g.\ 
\verb"\lo{:=}"). An example demonstrating these features is: 
\begin{eqnarray} 
\fl\langle\cos(q\Omega_s)\rangle=\frac12\int^\infty_0 
\frac{k_s(b)}{k^{\rm tot}_s}\{\cos[q\Omega^{\rm o}_S(b_f,R^s_{x})]+
\cos[q\Omega^{\rm i}_S(b_f,R^s_{x})]\}
2\pi b\, \rmd b\nonumber\\ 
\lo=\sum_c{(\mu^s_c)^2/\vert\Delta V'_s(R^s_{\rm c})\vert \over \sum_n 
(R^s_n\mu^s_n)^2(1-V^s_n/E)^{1/2}/\vert\Delta'_s(R^s_n)\vert}\nonumber\\ 
\times \frac12\int^{b_{\rm max}}_0 
\{\cos[q\Omega^{\rm o}_S(b_f,R^s_{\rm c})]
+\cos[q\Omega^{\rm i}_S(b_f,R^s_{\rm c})]\} 
b\, \rmd b/v_s(b,R^s_{\rm c}). 
\end{eqnarray} 
where a simplified version of the 
code used is: 
\begin{verbatim} 
\begin{eqnarray} 
\fl    <first line>  \nonumber\\ 
\lo=   <second line> \nonumber\\
\times <third line>  
\end{eqnarray} 
\end{verbatim} 

Note that alignment at the secondary margin normally takes 
precedence over aligning equals signs so there is usually no need 
to include any ampersands within the 
\verb"eqnarray" environment.


\subsubsection{Secondary alignment.}
While the primary alignment either on the secondary 
margin or full left is adequate in most cases 
there are examples where additional 
alignment is desirable. Firstly, for repeated series of short 
equations, secondly for
equations with attached conditions and thirdly for connected 
series of equations with a short left-hand side which together
occupy more than a full line but where each individual 
part is short. In these cases the \verb"eqnarray" environment 
should be used; there will still be alignment at the 
secondary margin but ampersands should be positioned to 
provide the secondary alignment. For equations with conditions the
space separating the longest part from its condition is provided by 
\verb"\qquad". Examples of equations requiring secondary alignment are:
\begin{eqnarray}
A^{(3/2)}=A^{(+)}-A^{(-)}&(I=\case32)\\
A^{(1/2)}=A^{(+)}+2A^{(-)}\qquad&(I=\case12)\\            
A^{(0)}&({\rm otherwise}).
\end{eqnarray}
which is obtained with the code
\begin{verbatim}
\begin{eqnarray}
A^{(3/2)}=A^{(+)}-A^{(-)}&(I=\case32)\\
A^{(1/2)}=A^{(+)}+2A^{(-)}\qquad&(I=\case12)\\            
A^{(0)}&({\rm otherwise}).
\end{eqnarray}
\end{verbatim}
and
\begin{eqnarray}
C(12)&=[\vec\pi(x)\cdot\vec\phi(x+r)]\nonumber\\
&\simeq 1-{\rm const}{r^2\over L^2}\int^L_r{x\, \rmd x\over 
x^2}+\cdots\\
&\simeq 1-{\rm const}{r^2\over L^2}\ln\left({L\over r}\right)+\cdots.
\end{eqnarray}
for which the code is
\begin{verbatim}
\begin{eqnarray}
C(12)&=[\vec\pi(x)\cdot\vec\phi(x+r)]\nonumber\\
&\simeq 1-{\rm const}{r^2\over L^2}\int^L_r{x\, \rmd x\over 
x^2}+\cdots\\
&\simeq 1-{\rm const}{r^2\over L^2}\ln\left({L\over r}\right)+\cdots.
\end{eqnarray}
\end{verbatim}

\subsection{Displayed equations in double-column journals}
The way equations are displayed in the Institute of Physics Publishing
double-column journals differs from that in single-column journals. 
However
authors submitting to double-column journals can produce their equations
as described above for single-column journals
and conversion to the proper double-column format will
take place here as proofs are being prepared. 

\subsection{Special characters for mathematics}
Bold italic characters are used in our journals to signify vectors (rather
than using an upright bold or an over arrow). To obtain this effect
use \verb"\bi{#1}" within maths mode, e.g. $\bi{ABCdef}$. If upright 
bold characters are required in maths use \verb"\mathbf{#1}" within maths
mode, e.g. $\mathbf{XYZabc}$. The calligraphic (script) uppercase alphabet
is obtained with \verb"\mathcal{AB}" or \verb"\cal{CD}" 
($\mathcal{AB}\cal{CD}$).

The American Mathematical Society provides a series of extra symbol fonts
to use with \LaTeX\ and packages containing the character definitions to
use these fonts. Authors wishing to use Fraktur 
\ifiopams$\mathfrak{ABC}$ \fi
or Blackboard Bold \ifiopams$\mathbb{XYZ}$ \fi can include the appropriate
AMS package (e.g. amsgen, amsfonts, amsbsy, amssymb) with a 
\verb"\usepackage" command or add the command \verb"\usepackage{iopams}"
which loads the four AMS packages mentioned above and also provides
definitions for extra bold characters (all Greek letters and some
additional other symbols). 

The package iopams uses the definition \verb"\boldsymbol" in amsbsy
which allows individual non-alphabetical symbols and Greek letters to be 
made bold within equations.
The bold Greek lowercase letters \ifiopams$\balpha \ldots\bomega$,\fi 
are obtained with the commands 
\verb"\balpha" \dots\ \verb"\bomega" (but note that
bold eta\ifiopams, $\bfeta$,\fi\ is \verb"\bfeta" rather than \verb"\beta")
and the capitals\ifiopams, $\bGamma\ldots\bOmega$,\fi\ with commands 
\verb"\bGamma" \dots\
\verb"\bOmega". Bold versions of the following symbols are
predefined in iopams: 
bold partial\ifiopams, $\bpartial$,\fi\ \verb"\bpartial",
bold `ell'\ifiopams, $\bell$,\fi\  \verb"\bell", 
bold imath\ifiopams, $\bimath$,\fi\  \verb"\bimath", 
bold jmath\ifiopams, $\bjmath$,\fi\  \verb"\bjmath", 
bold infinity\ifiopams, $\binfty$,\fi\ \verb"\binfty", 
bold nabla\ifiopams, $\bnabla$,\fi\ \verb"\bnabla", 
bold centred dot\ifiopams, $\bdot$,\fi\  \verb"\bdot", other 
characters are made bold using 
\verb"\boldsymbol{\symbolname}".

Table~\ref{math-tab2} lists some other macros for use in 
mathematics with a brief description of their purpose.
Both \verb"\ms" (medium space) and \verb"\bs" (big space) can be used to
provide extra spacing between lines of a displayed equation or table.
This space may be necessary when several separate equations are within the
same equation environment. 

\begin{table}

\end{table}

\subsection{Miscellaneous points}
Exponential expressions, especially those containing subscripts or 
superscripts, are clearer if the notation $\exp(\ldots)$ is used except for 
simple examples. For instance $\exp[\rmi(kx-\omega t)]$ and $\exp(z^2)$ are 
preferred to $\e^{\rmi(kx-\omega t)}$ and $\e^{z^2}$, but 
$\e^2$ 
is acceptable. Similarly the square root sign $\sqrt{\phantom{b}}$ should 
only be used with relatively
simple expressions, e.g.\ $\sqrt2$ and $\sqrt{a^2+b^2}$;
in other cases the 
power $1/2$ should be used.

It is important to distinguish between $\ln = \log_\e$ and $\lg 
=\log_{10}$. Braces, brackets and parentheses should be used in the 
following order: $\{[(\;)]\}$. The same ordering of brackets should be 
used within each size. However, this ordering can be ignored if the
brackets have a 
special meaning (e.g.\ if they denote an average or a function).  Decimal 
fractions should 
always be preceded by a zero: for example 0.123 {\bf not} .123. For long 
numbers commas are not inserted but instead a thin space is added after 
every third character away from the position of the decimal point unless 
this leaves a single separated character: e.g.\ $60\,000$, $0.123\,456\,78$ 
but 4321 and 0.7325.

Equations that are referred to in the text should be numbered with 
the number on the right-hand side. 


\subsection{Equation numbering}
\label{eqnum}
\LaTeX\ provides facilities for automatically numbering equations 
and these should be used where possible. Sequential numbering (1), (2), 
etc, is the default numbering system although, if the command
\verb"\eqnobysec" is included in the preamble, equation numbering
by section is obtained, e.g.\ 
(2.1), (2.2), etc. In articles with several appendixes equation numbering
by section is useful in the appendixes even when sequential numbering has
been used throughout the main body of the text and is switched on by the 
\verb"\appendix" command. Equation numbering by section {\it must} 
be used for {\it Reports on Progress in 
Physics}. When referring to an equation in the text, either put 
the equation number, in brackets, e.g.\ `as in (2)', or spell out the 
word equation in full, e.g.\ `if equation (2) is factorized'; do not 
use abbreviations such as eqn or eq.
When cross-referencing is used, \verb"\ref{<label>}"
 will produce `(\verb"<eqnum>")',
\verb"\eref{<label>}" produces `equation (\verb"<eqnum>")' and
\verb"\Eref{<label>}" produces `Equation (\verb"<eqnum>")', 
where \verb"<label>" 
is the
label to produce equation number \verb"<eqnum>".


If an equation number is centred between lines then the 
command \verb"\eqalign{...}" 
can be used within the `equation' environment.
After \verb"\begin{equation}" enclose the lines over 
which the number is
to be centred 
within \verb"\eqalign{...}"  with 
\verb"\\" or \verb"\cr"
at the end of each line. Ampersands are unnecessary within the
\verb"\eqalign" but can be used for secondary alignment if necessary.
The code 
\begin{verbatim}
\begin{equation}
\eqalign{T_{11}&=(1+P_\e)I_{\uparrow\uparrow}-(1-P_\e)
I_{\uparrow\downarrow}\\
T_{-1-1}&=(1+P_\e)I_{\downarrow\downarrow}-(1-P_\e)
I_{\uparrow\downarrow}\\
S_{11}&=(3+P_\e)I_{\downarrow\uparrow}-(3-P_e)I_{\uparrow\uparrow}\\
S_{-1-1}&=(3+P_\e)I_{\uparrow\downarrow}-(3-P_\e)
I_{\downarrow\downarrow}}
\end{equation}
\end{verbatim}
gives four equations with a centred 
number:
\begin{equation}
\eqalign{T_{11}&=(1+P_\e)I_{\uparrow\uparrow}-(1-P_\e)
I_{\uparrow\downarrow}\\
T_{-1-1}&=(1+P_\e)I_{\downarrow\downarrow}-(1-P_\e)I_{\uparrow\downarrow}\\
S_{11}&=(3+P_\e)I_{\downarrow\uparrow}-(3-P_e)I_{\uparrow\uparrow}\\
S_{-1-1}&=(3+P_\e)I_{\uparrow\downarrow}-(3-P_\e)
I_{\downarrow\downarrow}}
\end{equation}
Note that the secondary alignment at the equals signs would not normally
be necessary but is included here for demonstration purposes.


Sometimes it is useful to number equations as parts of the same
basic equation. This can be accomplished by inserting the 
commands \verb"\numparts" before the equations concerned and 
\verb"\endnumparts" when reverting to the normal sequential numbering.
The equations below show the previous equations numbered as separate parts
using \verb"\numparts ... \endnumparts" and the \verb"eqnarray"
environment
\numparts
\begin{eqnarray}
T_{11}&=(1+P_\e)I_{\uparrow\uparrow}-(1-P_\e)
I_{\uparrow\downarrow}\\
T_{-1-1}&=(1+P_\e)I_{\downarrow\downarrow}-(1-P_\e)I_{\uparrow\downarrow}\\
S_{11}&=(3+P_\e)I_{\downarrow\uparrow}-(3-P_e)I_{\uparrow\uparrow}\\
S_{-1-1}&=(3+P_\e)I_{\uparrow\downarrow}-(3-P_\e)
I_{\downarrow\downarrow}
\end{eqnarray}
\endnumparts


\subsection{Miscellaneous extra commands for displayed equations}
The \verb"\cases" command of Plain \TeX\ is available
for use with \LaTeX\ but has been amended slightly to 
increase the space between the equation and the condition. 
\Eref{cases} 
demonstrates simply the output from the \verb"\cases" command
\begin{equation}
\label{cases}
X=\cases{1&for $x \ge 0$\\
-1&for $x<0$\\}
\end{equation}
The code used was:
\begin{verbatim}
\begin{equation}
\label{cases}
X=\cases{1&for $x \ge 0$\\
-1&for $x<0$\\}
\end{equation}
\end{verbatim}

To obtain text style fractions within displayed maths the command 
\verb"\case{#1}{#2}" can be used (see equations (2) and (5)) instead
of the usual \verb"\frac{#1}{#2}" command or \verb"{#1 \over #2}".

When two or more short equations are on the same line they should be 
separated by a `qquad space' (\verb"\qquad"), rather than
\verb"\quad" or any combination of \verb"\,", \verb"\>", \verb"\;" 
and \verb"\ ".
 


\section{Referencing}
Two different styles of referencing are in common use: the Harvard 
alphabetical system and the Vancouver
numerical system. All the IOPP journals allow 
the use of the Harvard system but the numerical system should {\bf not} be 
used in {\it Physics in Medicine and Biology}.
Brief descriptions of the use of the two 
referencing systems are given below.

\subsection{Harvard system}
In the Harvard system the name of the author appears in the text together 
with the year of publication. As appropriate, either the date or the name 
and date are included within parentheses. Where there are only two authors 
both names should be given in the text; if there are more than two 
authors only the first name should appear followed by `{\it et al}' 
(which can be obtained by 
typing \verb"\etal"). When two or 
more references to work by one author or group of authors occur for the 
same year they should be identified by including a, b, etc after the date 
(e.g.\ 1986a). If several references to different pages of the same article 
occur the appropriate page number may be given in the text, e.g.\ Kitchen 
(1982, p 39).

The reference list at the end of an article consists of an 
unnumbered section containing an
alphabetical listing by authors' names and in date order for each 
author or group of identical authors. The reference list in the 
preprint style is started by including the command
\verb"\section*{References}" and then
\verb"\begin{harvard}".
There will be two basic types of 
entries within the reference list: (i) those to journal articles and 
(ii) those to books, conference proceedings and reports. For both of 
these types of references \verb"\item[]"
is required before the start of an individual reference.
The reference list is completed with \verb"\end{harvard}".
There is also a shortened form of the coding; \verb"\section*{References}"
and \verb"\begin{harvard}" can be replaced by the single command
\verb"\References" and \verb"\end{harvard}" can be shortened to
\verb"\endrefs".


\subsubsection{References to journal articles.}
A normal reference to a journal article contains three changes of 
font:
the authors and date appear in Roman type, the journal title in 
italic, the volume number in bold and the page numbers in Roman again. 
A typical journal entry would be:

\smallskip
\begin{harvard}
\item[] Cisneros A 1971 {\it Astrophys.\ Space Sci.} {\bf 10} 87
\end{harvard}
\smallskip

\noindent which would be obtained by typing, within the references
environment 
\begin{verbatim}
\item[] Cisneros A 1971 {\it Astrophys. Space Sci.} {\bf 10} 87
\end{verbatim}

Features to note are the following.

(i) The authors should be in the form surname (with only the first 
letter capitalized) {\bf followed} by the initials with {\bf no} 
periods after the initials. Authors should be separated by a comma 
except for the last two which should be separated by `and' with no 
comma preceding it. For journals that accept titles of articles in the 
reference list,  the title should be in Roman (upright)
lower case letters, except for an initial 
capital, and should follow the date.

(ii) The journal is in italic and is abbreviated. \ref{jlabs} 
gives a list of 
macros that will give the correct abbreviation for 
many of the common journals. If a journal has several parts denoted by 
different letters the part letter
should be inserted after the journal in Roman type, e.g.\ 
{\it Phys.\ Rev.\ \rm A}. 

(iii) The volume number is bold; the page number is Roman.
 Both the initial and final page 
numbers should be given where possible. The final page number should be in 
the shortest possible form and separated from the initial page number by an 
en rule (\verb"--"), e.g.\ 1203--14.

(iv) Where there are two or more references with identical authors, 
the authors' names should not be repeated but should be replaced by 
\verb"\dash" on the second and following occasions. Thus
\begin{verbatim}
\item[]Davis R, Mann A K and Wolfenstein L 1989  {\it Ann. Rev. Nucl.
Part. Sci.} {\bf 39} 467
\item[]\dash 1990 Private communication 
\end{verbatim}

\subsection{Electronic journal references}
These do not always follow the conventional {\it year-journal-volume-page numbers} pattern.
The journals may be electronic {\it and} print (e.g. {\it Phys. Rev.} D) or electronic only (e.g. {\it Living Reviews in Relativity}).
Electronic journals with unique referencing systems are given below.

\begin{itemize}
\item {\it Phys. Rev. (parts A, C and D).} Each article has a six-digit unique reference number which is cited after the volume number. So, for example, 
\smallskip
\numrefs{1}
\item Carlip S and Vera R 1998 {\it Phys. Rev.} D {\bf 58} 011345 
\endnumrefs
\smallskip
Note that page numbers are no longer used.

\item {\it Journal of High Energy Physics.}
This journal is primarily electronic, with a print version for archive purposes.
Papers are cited as per the following example.
\smallskip
\numrefs{1}
\item Davies K and Brown G 1997 {\it J. High Energy Phys.}
JHEP12(1997)002
\endnumrefs
\smallskip
with no spaces, where JHEP is obvious, 12 is the month (December in this case), 1997 is the year and 002 is the paper number.

\item {\it Living Reviews in Relativity.}
This journal is electronic only. The short form for this journal is {\it Liv. Rev. Rel.} and papers are cited simply by a number consisting of year and article number. So, for example,
\smallskip
\numrefs{1}
\item Gundlach C 1999 {\it Liv. Rev. Rel.} 1994-4
\endnumrefs
\smallskip
\end{itemize}

\subsection{Preprint references}
Since the introduction of the LANL preprint server this class of references has grown in importance. 
To reflect this and to maximize  the number of hyperlinks available through IOPP's Hypercite service in our electronic journals, each preprint reference should be given in as much detail as possible. Such references should include authors, year of work and preprint number (preceded by the word {\it Preprint}). 
An example would be
\smallskip
\numrefs{1}
\item Harrison M 1999 Dipheomorphism-invariant manifolds {\it Preprint} hep-th/9909196
\endnumrefs
\smallskip
If the preprint has been published then the full published reference is given first and the preprint details can be added in brackets after, on a separate line. So, for example,
\smallskip
\numrefs{1}
\item Neilson D and Choptuik M 2000 {\it Class. Quantum Grav.} {\bf 17} 761
\item[](Neilson D and Choptuik M 1998 {\it Preprint} gr-qc/9812053)
\endnumrefs
\smallskip

\subsubsection{References to books, conference proceedings and reports.}

References to books, proceedings and reports are similar, but have only two
changes of font. The authors and date of publication are in Roman, the 
title of the book is in italic, and the editors, publisher, 
town of publication 
and page number are in Roman. A typical reference to a book and a
conference paper might be

\smallskip
\begin{harvard}
\item[] Dorman L I 1975 {\it Variations of Galactic Cosmic Rays} 
(Moscow: Moscow State University Press) p~103
\item[] Caplar R and Kulisic P 1973 {\it Proc.\
Int.\ Conf.\ on Nuclear Physics (Munich)} vol~1 (Amsterdam:  
North-Holland/American Elsevier) p~517
\end{harvard}
\smallskip

\noindent which would be obtained by typing
\begin{verbatim}
\item[] Dorman L I 1975 {\it Variations of Galactic Cosmic Rays} 
(Moscow: Moscow State University Press) p~103
\item[] Caplar R and Kulisic P 1973 {\it Proc. Int. Conf. on Nuclear 
Physics (Munich)} vol~1 (Amsterdam: North-Holland/American 
Elsevier) p~517
\end{verbatim}
\noindent respectively.


Features to note are the following.

(i) Book titles are in italic and should be spelt out in full with 
initial capital letters for all except minor words. Words such as 
Proceedings, Symposium, International, Conference, Second, etc should 
be abbreviated to Proc., Symp., Int., Conf., 2nd, 
respectively, but the rest of the title should be given in full, 
followed by the date of the conference and the 
town or city where the conference was held. For 
Laboratory Reports the Laboratory should be spelt out wherever 
possible, e.g.\ {\it Argonne National Laboratory Report}.

(ii) The volume number as, for example, vol~2, should be followed by 
the editors, if any, in a form such as ed~A~J~Smith and P~R~Jones. Use 
\etal if there are more than two editors. Next comes the town of 
publication and publisher, within brackets and separated by a colon, 
and finally the page numbers preceded by p if only one number is given 
or pp if both the initial and final numbers are given.

Cross referencing between the text and the 
reference list is not necessary for alphabetic referencing 
in the Harvard system as adding or deleting a reference 
does not normally change any of the other references.

\subsection{Numerical system}
In the numerical system references are numbered sequentially 
throughout the text. The numbers occur within square brackets and one 
number can be used to designate several references. A numerical 
reference list in the preprint style is started by including the 
command \verb"\section*{References}" and then
\verb"\begin{thebibliography}{<num>}", where \verb"<num>" is the largest
number in the reference list (or any other number with the same number
of digits).  The 
reference list gives the references in 
numerical, not alphabetical, order and is completed by
\verb"\end{thebibliography}". Short forms of the commands are again
available: \verb"\Bibliography{<num>}" can be used at the start of the
references section and \verb"\endbib" at the end.
(Note that footnotes should not be 
part of a numerical reference system, but should be included in the 
text using the symbols \dag, \ddag, etc.)

References to journals and books are similar to those in the Harvard 
system, except that two or more references with identical authors are 
spelt out in full, i.e.\ they are {\bf not} replaced with \verb"\dash". 
When one number covers two or more separate references \verb"\nonum"
or \verb"\par\item[]" should be included at
the start of each reference in a group after the first.
A typical numerical reference list might begin

\smallskip

\numrefs{1}
\item Dorman L I 1975 {\it Variations of Galactic Cosmic Rays} (Moscow: 
Moscow State University Press) p~103
\item Caplar R and Kulisic P 1973 {\it Proc.\ Int.\ Conf.\ 
on Nuclear Physics (Munich)} vol~1 (Amsterdam:  
North-Holland/American Elsevier) p~517
\item Cisneros A 1971 {\it Astrophys. Space Sci.} {\bf 10} 87
\endnumrefs
\smallskip

\noindent which would be obtained by typing

\begin{verbatim}
\item Dorman L I 1975 {\it Variations of Galactic Cosmic Rays} 
(Moscow: Moscow State University Press) p~103
\item Caplar R and Kulisic P 1973 {\it Proc. Int. Conf. 
on Nuclear Physics (Munich)} vol~1 (Amsterdam:  
North-Holland/American Elsevier) p~517
\item Cisneros A 1971 {\it Astrophys. Space Sci.} {\bf 10} 87
\end{verbatim}

The point to note is that this is identical to the entries in the 
Harvard system except that square brackets following
\verb"\item" are no longer required.
If you are using \LaTeX's cross-referencing system then \verb"\item" would be replaced by \verb"\bibitem{label}" corresponding to \verb"\cite{label}" in the text (see section \ref{refs}).
 
\subsection{Reference lists}
A complete reference should provide the reader with enough information to 
locate the article concerned and should consist of: name(s) and initials, 
date published, title of journal or book, volume number, editors, if any, 
and town of publication and publisher in parentheses for books, 
and finally the 
page numbers. Titles of journal articles may also be included.
Up to twenty authors may be given in a particular reference; where 
there are more than twenty only the first should be given followed by 
`{\it et al}'. Abbreviations of the names of periodicals used by Institute
of Physics Publishing are usually the same as those 
given in British Standard 
BS 4148: 1985. If an author is unsure of an abbreviation and the 
journal is not given in~\ref{jlabs}, 
it is best to leave the title in 
full. The terms {\it loc.\ cit.\ }and {\it ibid.\ }should not be used. 
Unpublished conferences and reports should generally not be included 
in the reference list and articles in the course of publication should 
be entered only if the journal of publication is known. 
A thesis submitted for a higher degree may be included 
in the reference list if it has not been superseded by a published 
paper and is available through a library; sufficient information 
should be given for it to be traced readily.

\section{Cross referencing\label{xrefs}}
The facility to cross reference items in the text is very useful when 
composing articles the precise form of which is uncertain at the start 
and where revisions and amendments may subsequently be made. When using 
cross referencing, labels are given to elements in the text, for 
instance sections, figures, tables or equations and the elements may 
be referred to elsewhere
in the text by using the label. When the article is 
first processed the labels are read in and assigned, e.g.\ 2.1 for a 
subsection or (4) for an equation number. When the article is 
processed a second or subsequent time the label assignments are read 
in at the start of the file and the correct values given in the text. 
\LaTeX\ provides excellent facilities for doing cross-referencing
and these can be very useful in preparing articles.

\subsection{References}
\label{refs}
Cross referencing is useful for numeric reference lists because, if it 
is used, adding 
another reference to the list does not then involve renumbering all 
subsequent references. It is not necessary for referencing 
in the Harvard system where the final reference list is alphabetical 
and normally no other changes are necessary when a reference is added or
deleted.
Two passes are necessary initially to get the cross references right 
but once they are correct a single run is usually sufficient provided an 
\verb".aux" file is available and the file 
is run to the end each time.
\verb"\cite" and \verb"\bibitem" are used to link citations in the text
with their entry in the reference list;
if the 
reference list contains an entry \verb"\bibitem{label}", 
then \verb"\bibitem{label}" 
will produce the correct number in the reference list and 
\verb"\cite{label}" will produce the number within square brackets in the 
text. \verb"label" may contain alphabetic letters, 
or punctuation characters but must not contain spaces or commas. It is also
recommended that the underscore character \_{} is not used in cross
referencing. 
Thus labels for the form 
\verb"eq:partial", \verb"fig:run1", \verb"eq:dy'", 
etc, may be used. When several 
references occur together in the text \verb"\cite" may be used with 
multiple labels with commas but no spaces separating them; 
the output will be the 
numbers within a single pair of square brackets with a comma and a 
thin space separating the numbers. Thus \verb"\cite{label1,label2,label4}"
would give [1,\,2,\,4]. Note that no attempt is made to sort the 
labels and no shortening of groups of consecutive numbers is done.
Authors should therefore try to use multiple labels in the correct 
order.

The numbers for the cross referencing are generated in the order the 
references appear in the reference list, so that if the entries in the 
list are not in the order in which the references appear in the text 
then the 
numbering within the text will not be sequential. To correct this 
change the ordering of the entries in the reference list and then 
rerun {\it twice}.

\subsection{Equation numbers, sections, subsections, figures and 
tables}
Cross references can be made to equation numbers, sections, 
subsections, figures and tables or
any numbered environment
and this is a very useful feature when 
writing a document as its final structure is often not fully defined 
at the start. Thus a later section can be referred to by a label 
before its precise number is known and when it is defined there is no 
need to search back through the document to insert the correct value 
manually. For this reason the use of cross referencing 
can save considerable time. 

Labels for equation numbers, sections, subsections, figures and tables 
are all defined with the \verb"\label{label}" command and cross references 
to them are made with the \verb"\ref{label}" command. The \verb"\label" 
macro 
identifies the type of environment it is used in and converts \verb"label" 
into the correct form for that type of environment, thus \verb"\ref{label}" 
might give (2.3) for an equation number but 3.1 for a subsection and 2 
for a figure or table number. 

Any section, subsection, subsubsection, appendix or subappendix 
command defines a section type label, e.g. 1, 2.2, A2, A1.2 depending 
on context. A typical article might have in the code of its introduction 
`The results are discussed in section\verb"~\ref{disc}".' and
the heading for the discussion section would be:
\begin{verbatim}
\section{Results}
\label{disc}
\end{verbatim}
Labels to sections, etc, may occur anywhere within that section except
within another numbered environment. 
Within a maths environment labels can be used to tag equations which are 
referred to within the text. 
An example of an equation with a label and a reference to it 
is:
\begin{verbatim}
\begin{equation}
X=a\cos\theta+ b\sin\phi. \label{cossin}
\end{equation}
Equation (\ref{cossin}) ...
\end{verbatim}
which produces
\begin{equation}
X=a\cos\theta+ b\sin\phi. \label{cossin}
\end{equation}
Equation (\ref{cossin}) ...

In addition to the standard \verb"\ref{<label>}" the abbreviated
forms given in the \tref{abrefs}
are available for reference to standard parts of the text

\Table{\label{abrefs}Alternatives to the normal references $\backslash${\tt ref} 
and the text generated by
them. Note it is not normally necessary to include the word equation
before an equation number except where the number starts a sentence. The
versions producing an initial capital should only be used at the start of
sentences.} 
\br
Reference&Text produced\\
\mr
\verb"\eref{<label>}"&equation (\verb"<num>")\\
\verb"\Eref{<label>}"&Equation (\verb"<num>")\\

\verb"\tref{<label>}"&table \verb"<num>"\\
\verb"\Tref{<label>}"&Table \verb"<num>"\\
\br
\endTable

\section{Tables and table captions}
Tables are numbered serially and referred to in the text 
by number (table 1, etc, {\bf not} tab. 1). Each table should have an 
explanatory caption which should be as concise as possible. If a table 
is divided into parts these should be labelled \pt(a), \pt(b), 
\pt(c), etc but there should be only one caption for the whole 
table, not separate ones for each part.

In the preprint style the tables may be included in the text 
or listed separately after the reference list 
starting on a new page. 

\subsection{The basic table format}
The standard form for a table is:
\begin{verbatim}
\begin{table}
\caption{\label{label}Table caption.}
\begin{indented}
\item[]\begin{tabular}{@{}llll}
\br
Head 1&Head 2&Head 3&Head 4\\
\mr
1.1&1.2&1.3&1.4\\
2.1&2.2&2.3&2.4\\
\br
\end{tabular}
\end{indented}
\end{table}
\end{verbatim}

Points to note are:
\begin{enumerate}
\item The caption comes before the table. It should have a full stop at
the end.

\item Tables are normally set in a smaller type than the text.
The normal style is for tables to be indented in the same way as
equations. This is accomplished
by using \verb"\begin{indented}" \dots\ \verb"\end{indented}"
and putting \verb"\item[]" before the start of the tabular environment.
Omit these
commands for any tables which will not fit on the page when indented.

\item The default alignment of columns should be aligned left and 
adding \verb"@{}" omits the extra space before the first column.

\item Tables have only horizontal rules and no vertical ones. The rules at
the top and bottom are thicker than internal rules and are set with
\verb"\br" (bold rule). 
The rule separating the headings from the entries is set with
\verb"\mr" (medium rule).

\item Numbers in columns should be aligned on the decimal point;
to help do this a control sequence \verb"\lineup" has been defined 
which sets \verb"\0" equal to a space the size of a digit, \verb"\m"
to be a space the width of a minus sign, and \verb"\-" to be a left
overlapping minus sign. \verb"\-" is for use in text mode while the other
two commands may be used in maths or text.
(\verb"\lineup" should only be used within a table
environment after the caption so that \verb"\-" has its normal meaning
elsewhere.) See table~\ref{tabone} for an example of a table where
\verb"\lineup" has been used.
\end{enumerate}

\begin{table}
\caption{\label{tabone}A simple example produced using the standard table commands 
and $\backslash${\tt lineup} to assist in aligning columns on the 
decimal point. The width of the 
table and rules is set automatically by the 
preamble.} 

\begin{indented}
\lineup
\item[]\begin{tabular}{@{}*{7}{l}}
\br                              
$\0\0A$&$B$&$C$&\m$D$&\m$E$&$F$&$\0G$\cr 
\mr
\0\023.5&60  &0.53&$-20.2$&$-0.22$ &\01.7&\014.5\cr
\0\039.7&\-60&0.74&$-51.9$&$-0.208$&47.2 &146\cr 
\0123.7 &\00 &0.75&$-57.2$&\m---   &---  &---\cr 
3241.56 &60  &0.60&$-48.1$&$-0.29$ &41   &\015\cr 
\br
\end{tabular}
\end{indented}
\end{table}

\subsection{Simplified coding and extra features for tables}
The basic coding format can be simplified using extra commands provided in
the \verb"iopart" class file. The commands up to and including 
the start of the tabular environment
can be replaced by
\begin{verbatim}
\Table{\label{label}Table caption}
\end{verbatim}
this also activates the definitions within \verb"\lineup".
The final three lines can also be reduced to \verb"\endTable" or
\verb"\endtab". Similarly for a table which does not fit in when indented
\verb"\fulltable{\label{label}caption}" \dots\ \verb"\endfulltable" or \verb"\endtab"
can be used. \LaTeX\ optional positional parameters can, if desired, be added after 
\verb"\Table{\label{label}caption}" and \verb"\fulltable{\label{label}caption}".


\verb"\centre{#1}{#2}" can be used to centre a heading 
\verb"#2" over \verb"#1" 
columns and \verb"\crule{#1}" puts a rule across 
\verb"#1" columns. A negative 
space \verb"\ns" is usually useful to reduce the space between a centred 
heading and a centred rule. \verb"\ns" should occur immediately after the 
\verb"\\" of the row containing the centred heading (see code for
\tref{tabl3}). A small space can be 
inserted between rows of the table 
with \verb"\ms" and a half line space with \verb"\bs" 
(both must follow a \verb"\\" but should not have a 
\verb"\\" following them).
   
\Table{\label{tabl3}A table with headings spanning two columns and containing notes. 
To improve the 
visual effect a negative skip ($\backslash${\tt ns})
has been put in between the lines of the 
headings. Commands set-up by $\backslash${\tt lineup} are used to aid 
alignment in columns. $\backslash${\tt lineup} is defined within
the $\backslash${\tt Table} definition.}
\br
&&&\centre{2}{Separation energies}\\
\ns
&Thickness&&\crule{2}\\
Nucleus&(mg\,cm$^{-2}$)&Composition&$\gamma$, n (MeV)&$\gamma$, 2n (MeV)\\
\mr
$^{181}$Ta&$19.3\0\pm 0.1^{\rm a}$&Natural&7.6&14.2\\
$^{208}$Pb&$\03.8\0\pm 0.8^{\rm b}$&99\%\ enriched&7.4&14.1\\
$^{209}$Bi&$\02.86\pm 0.01^{\rm b}$&Natural&7.5&14.4\\
\br
\end{tabular}
\item[] $^{\rm a}$ Self-supporting.
\item[] $^{\rm b}$ Deposited over Al backing.
\end{indented}
\end{table}

Units should not normally be given within the body of a table but 
given in brackets following the column heading; however, they can be 
included in the caption for long column headings or complicated units. 
Where possible tables should not be broken over pages. 
If a table has related notes these should appear directly below the table
rather than at the bottom of the page. Notes can be designated with
footnote symbols (preferable when there are only a few notes) or
superscripted small roman letters. The notes are set to the same width as
the table and in normal tables follow after \verb"\end{tabular}", each
note preceded by \verb"\item[]". For a full width table \verb"\noindent"
should precede the note rather than \verb"\item[]". To simplify the coding 
\verb"\tabnotes" can, if desired, replace \verb"\end{tabular}" and 
\verb"\endtabnotes" replaces
\verb"\end{indented}\end{table}".

If all the tables are grouped at the end of a document
the command \verb"\Tables" is used to start a new page and 
set a heading `Tables and table captions'.
  
\section{Figures and figure captions}
Figures may be included in an article as encapsulated PostScript files or
using the \LaTeX\ picture environment. Alternatively authors may send in 
high quality printed versions of their figures (fair copies) and 
attach copies of the fair copies to each 
typescript. The fair copies should be in black 
Indian ink or printing on tracing paper, plastic or white card or 
paper, or glossy photographs.

Each figure should have a brief caption describing it and, if 
necessary, interpreting the various lines and symbols on the figure. 
As much lettering as possible should be removed from the figure itself and 
included in the caption. If a figure has parts, these should be 
labelled ($a$), ($b$), ($c$), etc. 
\Tref{blobs} gives the definitions for describing symbols and lines often
used within figure captions (more symbols are available
when using the optional packages loading the AMS extension fonts).

\begin{table}
\caption{\label{blobs}Control sequences to describe lines and symbols in figure 
captions.}
\begin{indented}
\item[]\begin{tabular}{@{}lllll}
\br
Control sequence&Output&&Control sequence&Output\\
\mr
\verb"\dotted"&\dotted        &&\verb"\opencircle"&\opencircle\\
\verb"\dashed"&\dashed        &&\verb"\opentriangle"&\opentriangle\\
\verb"\broken"&\broken&&\verb"\opentriangledown"&\opentriangledown\\
\verb"\longbroken"&\longbroken&&\verb"\fullsquare"&\fullsquare\\
\verb"\chain"&\chain          &&\verb"\opensquare"&\opensquare\\
\verb"\dashddot"&\dashddot    &&\verb"\fullcircle"&\fullcircle\\
\verb"\full"&\full            &&\verb"\opendiamond"&\opendiamond\\
\br
\end{tabular}
\end{indented}
\end{table}

Unless the figures files are incorporated into the text 
the captions should be listed at the end of the article.

\subsection{Figure captions where figure files are not available}
The command \verb"\Figures" starts a new page and an unnumbered section
with the heading `Figure captions'. 
The captions should then be set with the commands:
\begin{verbatim}
\begin{figure}
\caption{\label{label}Figure caption.}
\end{figure}
\end{verbatim}
or more simply
\begin{verbatim}
\Figure{\label{label}Figure caption.}                                         
\end{verbatim}
The caption should finish with a full stop and the printed version will be 
indented as in Institute of Physics Publishing single-column journals.

\subsection{Inclusion of graphics files}
If graphics files are available as encapsulated PostScript (EPS) files 
(or are created within the \LaTeX\ picture environment) they may
be included within the body of the text at an appropriate point using a
standard graphics inclusion package. Authors should ensure EPS files meet
the following criteria.
\begin{itemize}
\item The Bounding Box should indicate the area of the figure 
with a minimum of white space around it and not the dimensions of the
page.
\item Any fonts used should be from the standard PostScript set (Times,
Helvetica, Courier and Symbol).
\item Scanned images should be of 600 dpi resolution for line art (black
and white) and 150 dpi resolution for grayscale or colour.
\item Captions and labels (e.g.\ Figure 1) should not be included in the
EPS file although part letters (e.g.\ ($a$)) are acceptable provided they
are placed close or within the boundary of the figure. 
\end{itemize}

The precise coding required will depend on the graphics package being used
and the printer driver. We use a printer driver compatible with DVIPS but
authors should avoid using special effects generated by including verbatim
PostScript code within the \LaTeX\ file with specials other than the
standard figure inclusion ones.

Using the epsf package figures can be included using code such as:
\begin{verbatim}
\begin{figure}
\begin{center}
\epsfbox{file.eps}
\end{center}
\caption{\label{label}Figure caption}
\end{figure}
\end{verbatim}
