Open Access for the Terascale

The Strategic Helmholtz Alliance 'Physics at the Terascale', is a structured German network comprising 17 universities, 2 Helmholtz institutes and 1 Max Planck institute. It comprises experimental physicists and theoretical physicists addressing the fundamental questions of: particle physics, distributed computing, novel detector development and accelerator science.

"The Management Board of the Helmholtz Alliance 'Physics at the Terascale' fully supports the goal of SCOAP3 of free and unrestricted electronic access to peer-reviewed journal literature in particle physics. We are convinced that the proposed fair-share business model will promote a healthy and dynamic market and will benefit scientists, authors, funding agencies and publishers alike".
