Advisory Panels Reports
The Office of High Energy Physics relies on a number of scientific panels to develop and carry out its research program.
The High Energy Physics Advisory Panel (HEPAP), originally established by the Atomic Energy Commission in 1967, provides advice on the national program to the DOE Office of High Energy Physics and the NSF Division of Physics. This panel meets several times a year and has played a major role in setting the direction of particle physics research in the U.S.
Chartered by NSF, the Astronomy and Astrophysics Advisory Committee gives advice to the Office of High Energy Physics and NASA regarding its particle-astrophysics research program. In particular, the AAAC focuses on programs that overlap with NSF and NASA.
When special situations require additional advice, the Office of High Energy Physics calls on the National Academy of Science to produce reports such as, “Revealing the Hidden Nature of Space and Time: Charting the Course for Elementary Particle Physics.”
