Dear Colleagues,
The FY2006 budget request incorporates significant program shifts
which reflect the recommendations from HEPAP. You can read about
them at:
http://www.sc.doe.gov/orm/Budget_Finance/FY_06_Budget/HEP.pdf#page=12
In particular:
"
In order to address the opportunity for significant new future research
options, R&D in support of an international electron-positron linear
collider is increased relative to FY 2005 to support the continued
international participation and leadership in linear collider R&D and
planning by U.S.scientists. The long-term goal of this effort is a
construction start on an international Linear Collider in the next decade.
To provide a nearer-term future program, and to reserve future research
options, R&D for other new accelerator and detector technologies,
particularly in the emerging area of neutrino physics, will also increase.
The Linear Collider has been judged of the highest scientific importance
by HEPAP as well as by advisory bodies of the Asian and European HEP
communities.
"
Thanks to Fred et al.!
