INTRO: The Particle Physics Projects Prioritization Panel has released a report detailing its recommendations for what research should be funded over the next five to ten years. The recommendations cover research that will look into phenomenon such as muons, neutrinos, dark matter, and the Higgs boson. While the recommendations are not binding, they reflect the judgment of the American particle physics community and represent some of the most creative ideas in physics research.
After a multi-year review, the U.S. particle physics community has announced its vision for research spanning the next five to ten years. The various projects could, if funded, help researchers develop a much better understanding of the laws of nature.
The recommendations were released in a report called “Exploring the Quantum Universe: Pathways to Innovation and Discovery in Particle Physics.” It was written by the Particle Physics Projects Prioritization Panel (P5), a sub-panel of the High Energy Physics Advisory Panel (HEPAP), and will be submitted to funding agencies like the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science and the National Science Foundation to guide their funding decisions over the next decade.
[...] The deep connections between the laws that govern the quantum realm and those that govern the entire Universe have long been known, and researchers have been studying them for decades. These sorts of experiments require very large particle accelerators and detectors, involving thousands of physicists, engineers, computer professionals, technicians, and various support staff. Such a considerable effort requires careful planning and independent oversight... (MORE - details)
