Enjoy the Physical Review Accelerators and Beams  2024 highlights hand-picked by the editors

As we stand at the beginning of a new year, we'd like to take a moment to look back at some of the outstanding research that was published back in 2024. There is no ideal metric to choose a small subset of the many great papers that were published. We look forward to your participation in the journal in 2025, as authors, referees, and readers.
