This project supports the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (the “National Academies”), through the Board on Physics and Astronomy, to organize and conduct a decadal study of elementary particle physics (EPP) at the request of NSF and DOE. The study will assess the progress and developments in EPP over the past decade and explore promising new directions for the period 2022-2032. It will also discuss the international landscape for EPP and leading roles that the United States can play in this field in the future. The study will also evaluate how EPP could benefit from more fully engaging with other fields of research and the societal benefits flowing from EPP, including the training of a highly skilled workforce. Finally, the report will make recommendations on how to realize the full potential of this critical research area for the nation. This study will identify, articulate, and prioritize the scientific opportunities in elementary particle physics and will offer clear and broad guidance, both to those within the discipline and policymakers outside of the discipline. It will evaluate the recent past and future directions of the entire field by members from across the field, potentially leading to fresh insights and new perspectives on the key questions that drive the science. In addition, it will help identify the opportunities and challenges associated with pursuing interdisciplinary research, ultimately placing the field in the broader context of science.The final report will have a significant impact on the future of elementary particle physics across the field. It will identify new directions and new perspectives for the field and formulate guidelines for pursuing it to advance the science efforts in the United States and abroad. It will describe the impact that EPP has on other scientific fields, and along with roles that other fields play, or might play, in advancing EPP research. The committee will include scientists with broad expertise to analyze and demonstrate the impact of elementary particle physics and techniques in modern science and technology. Part of the report will be addressed to a lay audience to enhance the public understanding of the role of elementary particle physics in other sciences and society.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该项目支持美国国家科学院、工程院和医学院（以下简称“国家科学院”）应美国国家科学基金会（NSF）和美国能源部（DOE）的要求，通过美国物理和天文学委员会组织并开展一项基本粒子物理学（EPP）的十年研究。该研究将评估过去十年环境保护计划的进展和发展，并探讨在2022-2032年期间有希望的新方向。它还将讨论EPP的国际格局以及美国未来在该领域可以发挥的主导作用。该研究还将评估EPP如何从更充分地参与其他研究领域中受益，以及EPP带来的社会效益，包括培训高技能劳动力。最后，该报告将就如何实现这一关键研究领域的全部潜力为国家提出建议。这项研究将确定、阐明基本粒子物理学的科学机会，并对其进行优先排序，并将为该学科内外的决策者提供明确而广泛的指导。它将由来自整个领域的成员评估整个领域最近的过去和未来的方向，可能会对推动科学的关键问题产生新的见解和新的观点。此外，它将有助于确定与进行跨学科研究相关的机遇和挑战，最终将该领域置于更广泛的科学背景中。最终报告将对整个领域基本粒子物理学的未来产生重大影响。它将确定该领域的新方向和新视角，并制定指导方针，以推动美国和国外的科学努力。它将描述EPP对其他科学领域的影响，以及其他领域在推进EPP研究中发挥或可能发挥的作用。该委员会将包括具有广泛专业知识的科学家，以分析和展示基本粒子物理学和现代科学技术的影响。报告的部分内容将面向外行读者，以增强公众对基本粒子物理学在其他科学和社会中的作用的理解。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
