A
Statement of Task
The new 2010 NRC decadal report will prepare an assessment and outlook for
nuclear physics research in the United States in the international context. The first
phase of the study will focus on developing a clear and compelling articulation of
the scientific rationale and objectives of nuclear physics. This phase would build
on the 2007 NSAC Long-range Plan Report, placing the near-term goals of that
report in a broader national context.
The second phase will put the long-term priorities for the field (in terms of
major facilities, research infrastructure, and scientific manpower) into a global
context and develop a strategy that can serve as a framework for progress in U.S.
nuclear physics through 2020 and beyond. It will discuss opportunities to opti-
mize the partnership between major facilities and the universities in areas such as
research productivity and the recruitment of young researchers. It will address the
role of international collaboration in leveraging future U.S. investments in nuclear
science. The strategy will address means to balance the various objectives of the
field in a sustainable manner over the long term.
