  • Mapping out the future of high-energy physics in the United States

    On 17 July 2022, hundreds of US high-energy physicists, along with colleagues from all over the world, gathered at the University of Washington in Seattle for a ten-day meeting to take one of the final steps in the latest US high-energy physics (HEP) community planning exercise. These exercises, hosted by the Division of Particles and
