The Particle Physics Project Prioritization Panel (P5) is a scientific advisory panel tasked with recommending plans for U.S. investment in particle physics research over the next ten years, on the basis of various funding scenarios. The P5 is a temporary subcommittee of the High Energy Physics Advisory Panel (HEPAP), which serves the Department of Energy's Office of Science and the National Science Foundation. The panel is chaired by Steven Ritz of the University of California, Santa Cruz.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work = Particle Physics Project Prioritization Panel (P5) )〕 == 2014 Report == In 2013, HEPAP was asked to convene a panel (the P5) to evaluate research priorities in the context of anticipated developments in the field globally in the next 20 years. Recommendations were to be made on the basis of three funding scenarios for high-energy physics: * A constant funding level for the next three years followed by an annual 2% increase, relative to the FY2013 budget * A constant funding level for the next three years followed by an annual 3% increase, relative to the proposed FY2014 budget * An unconstrained budget In May 2014, the first P5 report since 2008 was released. The 2014 report identified five "science drivers"—goals intended to inform funding priorities—drawn from a year-long discussion within the particle physics community. These science drivers are: * Use of the Higgs boson as a tool for further inquiry * Investigation of the physics of neutrino mass * Investigation of the physics of dark matter * Investigation of the physics of dark energy and cosmic inflation * Exploration of new particles, interactions, and physics principles 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Particle Physics Project Prioritization Panel」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
