year, we have decided to publish them in three TNS issues.In this issue, 75 of these manuscripts appear. The remainingNSS/RTSD/SNPS manuscripts that successfully complete thepeer review process will appear in the August and October 2004issue of TNS.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank both the re-viewers for their efforts to maintain the high quality of TNSpublications and the authors for their contributions. A list ofthe NSS/RTSD/SNPS reviewers will appear in the August 2004issue. It is my personal belief that one of the primary reasonsthat the NSS is consistently a preeminent conference for radia-tion detection and measurement is the timely publication of itscontributions in TNS. Furthermore, the efforts of the reviewersand the diligence of the authors in addressing the reviewers’concerns are absolutely critical to maintaining this process. Inaddition, I would like to offer special thanks to Chuck Brittonfor serving as Associate Editor for 25 of manuscripts in the gen-eral area of electronics, Bruce Brown for identifying a numberof new reviewers in the high-energy physics area, Gary Johnsonfor identifying reviewers for the SNPS manuscripts, and NolanHertel for identifying reviewers for a range of manuscripts.
