Mathias Fink (Paris), Ad Lagendijk (Enschede), Sergey Skipetrov (Grenoble),
Bart van Tiggelen (Grenoble – Guest Editor-in-Chief), Pierre-Etienne Wolf (Grenoble).

This issue of EPJ Special Topics honors the scientific legacy of Roger Maynard.
Submissions are open for manuscripts within the categories listed below and will be handled by the guest editors and the EPJ editorial desk. Articles may present new research or review and outline the state of the art in a given field. All submissions will undergo single-blind peer review.

Submission deadline: August 31, 2016. Manuscripts should be submitted to EPJ Special Topics mentioning “EPJ Special Issue Roger Maynard”.

Publication: Accepted papers will be published in early 2017 (page limit: 10 pages).

Open access: Publication will follow the Gold Open Access model, subject to an APC (Article Processing Charge) of €1080 + VAT. Articles will be published in full Open Access under the CC-BY license. Authors from several countries may benefit from free or discounted Open Access.

Tentative categories

Waves in complex media (liquid crystals, magneto-optics, nonlinear media, chaotic media, optics with cold atoms…).

Mesoscopic physics with classical waves (correlations, coherent backscattering, speckles, full statistics, analogies with mesoscopic electron transport…).

Ill condensed matter (superfluidity, spin glasses, superconductivity and percolation, non-equilibrium statistical physics).

Waves in natural media (underwater acoustics, seismology, optics of foams, granular media).

Applications of wave propagation (D-A-WS, imaging, communication, time-reversal and wave-front shaping, photovoltaics…).

Quantum aspects in multiple scattering: entanglement, bunching, quantum scatterers, etc.
