WASHINGTON, March 19 -- The U.S. Department of Energy's Stanford Linear Accelerator Center issued the following press release:
To study some of the smallest things in the universe, particle physicists use some of the biggest experimental equipment on the planet: The Large Hadron Collider, which has a circumference of about 17 miles, for example, doesn't exactly fit on a lab bench. But researchers have limited time and money to build such projects, which means they must prioritize their efforts.
With this goal in mind, the 2023 Particle Physics Project Prioritization Panel, or P5, released a report outlining a long-term strategy for US spending in the coming decade of particle physics research.
One of the most forward-looking recommendati...
