Barry Barish
Professor, Caltech

A HEPAP subpanel was created by the NSF and DOE to develop a long range plan for the U.S. particle physics program. Within an international context, the subpanel has conducted a broad review of the scientific goals and accomplishments of our field, and the present status of the U.S. program. A roadmap for the future has been created, based on the scientific goals and opportunities for major new initiatives, both in the U.S. and internationally. A draft report has been submitted to HEPAP with a final report due in early next year.
