PHENIX Keywords
Listed on this page are recommended keywords used for two purposes:
- to tag materials placed on this site so they can be consistently referenced across this web resource
- to enhance discoverability of the PHENIX materials committed to Zenodo
Consistent use of the keywords is strongly recommended. Please note that HEPData materials follow a different set of conventions.
The keywords are case-sensitive. We adopted lowercase convention for all keywords for the following reason: Zenodo is using a complex query mechanism which includes “elastic search” so the effect of capitalization on queries is not always straighforward, so it’s best to avoid ambiguity. Note that Zenodo keywords can actually be a combination of words and white space (i.e. phrases). Multiple such combinations are allowed in a single query when accessing Zenodo.
In the tables below, the keywords are grouped in categories. Each entry in the left column acts as a query link to Zenodo, for that specific keyword. Pages containing results of queries will open in a new tab/window.
