Sorting categories: Topics & subfields
Before submitting your abstract, APS asks that you carefully review the sorting categories to determine which ones best fit your research. Choosing the appropriate sorting categories for your work can help to target your work to the appropriate audiences at March Meeting 2024.
The sorting categories also represent the breadth of the topics and branches of physics discussed at March Meeting 2024.
