Guidelines for speakers and discussion

The following questions have been suggested by the NSAC for the Long Range Plan Process. Please keep these in mind when preparing any material for presentation.

• What scientific question(s) is this sub-field trying to answer?
• What is the significance of this sub-field for nuclear physics and for science in general?
• What are the achievements of this sub-field since the last Long Range Plan?
• What are the theoretical and experimental challenges being addressed by this sub-field (a) in the immediate future (< 3 years) and (b) over the duration of the next Long Range Plan (10 years)? Identify the new opportunities which will contribute to this scientific endeavor.
• What resources, including manpower, will be needed throughout the duration of the next Long Rang Plan (with some attempt at priorities)?
• How does the U.S. effort in this sub-field compare to the rest of the world and how do U.S. studies fit into the global picture?
• What will the impact of the proposed progam be on the other fields and on society?
