The United States is currently playing a crucial leadership role in the worldwide pursuit of the answers to these and other fundamental questions of particle physics. The accelerators and detectors at Fermilab, Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, Brookhaven National Laboratory, and Cornell are providing physicists from the United States and abroad with access to many experimental frontiers.

Although the committee believes that it is highly desirable to have a forefront facility located within the United States, it is crucial that we maintain a technological base sufficient to allow full U.S. participation in all aspects of the design, construction, and operation of any such facility, independent of its ultimate location.

; strong participation in construction of and research at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) being built in Europe; and taking a leadership role in a future forefront international facility, possibly to be built in the United States.

Both are essential to a balanced program. Before presenting its recommendations concerning experimental initiatives, the committee comments on two subdisciplines of the field that are critical elements of a forefront program: non-facility-specific advanced accelerator R&D, which can lead to extension of the energy frontier, and theoretical physics, which provides the framework that organizes our observations.

Ma. Recommendation on the Fermilab Collider Facility The United States should capitalize on the potential of the Fermilab Collider Facility while it has unique capabilities for investigations of high mass scale physics.

Although it is highly desirable to have a forefront facility located within the United States, it is crucial that the United States maintain a technological base sufficient to allow full participation in all aspects of the design, construction, and operation of such a facility, independent of its ultimate location. Recognizing that it is too soon to endorse construction of any new machines, the committee makes recommendations concerning the development of each.

Although CP violation was discovered in the decays of K mesons containing the strange quark, there are still outstanding issues in the CP-violating decays of strange particles. Experiments using extremely intense kaon beams give unique information about CP violation.

Because of limitations in resources for the field worldwide, in the future only initiatives that have the most promise for scientific advancement should be undertaken. CONCLUSION The recommendations above, if adopted, should maintain U.S.
