Planning for the future in nuclear physics in Canada and globally

The Canadian community of nuclear and particle physicists has just published its vision for the next decade, outlining the present strengths of and the future objectives for the national research program (“Perspective on Subatomic Physics in Canada for 2006–2016”). In Canada, nuclear and particle physics are sponsored by a common program of NSERC called subatomic physics, and have a common national laboratory, TRIUMF. The Long Range Planning Committee (LRPC) report takes an in-depth look at the current set of activities and proposes bold recommendations for seizing new scientific opportunities.
