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、工程院和医学院应美国国家科学基金会和能源部的要求，通过物理和天文学委员会，组织和开展基本粒子物理(EPP)的十年研究。这项研究将评估过去十年在资源增值方面的进展和发展，并探讨2022-2032年期间有希望的新方向。会议还将讨论EPP的国际格局以及美国未来在这一领域可以发挥的主导作用。这项研究还将评估资源增值计划如何能够从更充分地参与其他研究领域以及从资源增值计划所带来的社会好处中受益，包括培训高技能的劳动力。最后，报告将就如何充分发挥这一关键研究领域对国家的潜力提出建议。这项研究将确定、阐明和优先安排基本粒子物理学的科学机会，并将为该学科内的那些人和该学科外的政策制定者提供明确和广泛的指导。它将由整个领域的成员评估整个领域最近的过去和未来的方向，可能会在推动科学的关键问题上产生新的见解和新的观点。此外，它将有助于确定与从事跨学科研究相关的机会和挑战，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的基本粒子物理的未来产生重大影响。它将为该领域确定新的方向和新的视角，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，以及其他领域在推动EPP研究方面发挥的或可能发挥的作用。该委员会将包括拥有广泛专业知识的科学家，以分析和展示基本粒子物理和技术在现代科学技术中的影响。报告的一部分将面向普通读者，以增进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。这一奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
