Statement of Task
The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine will convene an ad hoc committee to:
- Identify the fundamental questions in particle physics that could motivate research in the next decade and beyond, irrespective of the tools and techniques to address them.
- Distinguish which of these questions could be addressed with available experimental and theoretical tools in the coming decade and which could require new techniques or approaches.
- Suggest technical research areas that could provide particle physics with new tools needed to enable new techniques and approaches.
- Suggest different ways of thinking and alternative approaches from other areas of science that could be incorporated into and benefit the overall particle physics enterprise.
