Panel on new particle‐physics facilities

A new‐facilities subpanel of the High‐Energy Physics Advisory Panel has been formed at the request of DOE; it is headed by Stanley Wojcicki of Stanford. The subpanel is to consider and make recommendations for scientific requirements and opportunities for a “forefront” US high‐energy physics program in the next five to ten years. It is to make specific recommendations for possible new construction for fiscal year 1985. Specifically, the subpanel is asked to include a definite recommendation concerning the proposed Colliding Beam Accelerator at Brookhaven; a formal proposal was to be ready in April. For its recommendations the subpanel is to make cost estimates and to give relative priorities.
