| TH | theoretical (both pure and phenomenological) work should be submitted to this category. |
| PHSM | "Physics and simulation": Results from studies which include detector effects are meant to go into this category. |
| TOOL | All work which is of a mostly technical nature and is related to various tools like Monte Carlo generators, Monte Carlo programs, reconstruction programs should go into this category. |
| M | Machine related topics |
| DET | Results from studies which are concerned with specific detector options and technologies should be submitted to this category. There is clearly some overlap with the PHSM series of notes, since often there will be a rather tight connection between a detector study and a physics topic. The selection between PHSM and DET is then in general left to the discretion of the author(s). |
| REV | Review papers. Anything which is of a more general nature, which covers more than one aspect and which reviews results from many people should be considered to be included in the REV section. |
