CStatistical Information on
Elementar~r-Particle Physics
Research in the United States
PHYSICISTS AND GRADUATE STUDENTS IN
ELEMENTARY-PARTICLE PHYSICS
Table C. 1 gives the number of Ph.D.-level physicists doing elemen-
tary-particle physics research in the United States. The total increases
to about 2400 when the number of graduate students doing doctoral
research in elementary particles is added in. Figure C.l shows where
the Ph.D.-level physicists work.
Table C.2 gives the number of doctorates in elementary-particle
physics granted per year in the United States. The number of elemen-
tary-particle physics doctorates is compared in Figure C.2 with all
physics doctorates and with all physical science doctorates. These
personnel data come from the Report of the Technical Assessment
Committee on University Programs, DOE Report DOE/ER-0182
(1983~.
FUNDING FOR ELEMENTARY-PARTICLE PHYSICS RESEARCH
Elementary-particle physics research is supported by the Depart-
ment of Energy and by the National Science Foundation in the United
States. Figure C.3 shows the total funding for elementary-particle
physics in the United States since 1967. The funding is corrected for
inflation and expressed in equivalent 1984 dollars.
