Build

cd paper
make

Runs pdflatex + bibtex + pdflatex × 2. paper.pdf lands in this directory. make clean removes .aux, .log, .bbl, etc.

Class

REVTeX 4.2 (\documentclass[aps,prd,reprint,nofootinbib,longbibliography]{revtex4-2}), the official LaTeX class for Physical Review D. Ships with TeX Live; no class files are bundled.

To switch from two-column reprint to single-column draft format, change reprint to onecolumn in paper.tex. PRD accepts either during review.
