High Energy Physics Advisory Panel's Composite Subpanel for the Assessment of the Satus of Accelerator Physics and Technology.

Abstract

On behalf of the HEPAP Composite Subpanel for the Assessment of the Status of Accelerator Physics and Technology, I am pleased to transmit our report. This subpanel has carried out a broad assessment of the status and promise of accelerator physics and technology with respect to all five DOE Office of Energy Research (OER) programs. The subpanel drew its members from the scientific communities supported by the OER programs and included a liaison from each OER advisory committee as a full member. In meetings over a period of eight months we addressed the charge, and in doing so, sought input from all OER program offices, the accelerator physics community, representatives of those scientific communities supported by the OER programs, DOE laboratories and universities that host major accelerator facilities, and other DOE offices and federal agencies. After extensive deliberations, the subpanel has concluded that the DOE and its predecessor agencies-primarily through their long-standing and sustained investments in accelerator science and technology development-have de facto held a national trust for the stewardship of accelerator science and accelerator-based technology development. This role has provided the foundation for essential capabilities needed both to fulfill the DOE mission and to address broader national interests.
