Formatting Equally-contribution authors list in PRL journal using LaTeX

[Malamala]

Hello! I want to add equally contributing authors in the author list for a PRL paper in latex (similar to e.g. this). Basically I want something of the form:

$$\mathrm{author1}^{1,*}, \mathrm{author2}^{2,*}$$
$$1 \ \mathrm{First \ affiliation}$$
$$2 \ \mathrm{Second \ affiliation}$$
$$* \ \mathrm{These \ authors \ contributed \ equally}$$

How can I do it. I tried to do it just as above, but Revtex places automatically the affiliation after the author so I end up with either this:

$$\mathrm{author1}^{1,*,1}, \mathrm{author2}^{2,*,2}$$

or this

$$\mathrm{author1}^{*,1}, \mathrm{author2}^{*,2}$$

Is there a new PRL template I can use? Thank you!

A double backslash should give you a line break.

I am not sure what you mean. I don't need a line break

Like this:

\author{First Author$^{1}^*$, Second Author$^{2}^*$ \\\\
\normalsize $^{1}$First Author Institution, City, State, Country \\\\
\normalsize $^{2}$Second Author Institution (if necessary), City, State, Country \\\\
\normalsize e-mail: Author1@email1.com, Author2@email2.com\\\\
\normalsize $^{*}$These authors contributed equally \\\\
}
which compiles to:

[Note: in order to have two backslashes appear here on PF you need four backslashes. Type what is seen in the post, not the underlying text
