United States. High Energy Physics Advisory Panel
Records relating to the CLEO Experiment and the Origins of the Cornell Electron Storage Ring (CESR), 1967-[ongoing].
HEPAP has been legally required to meet openly and keep minutes. The Department's Division of High Energy Physics has kept files of correspondence between HEPAP and the Department (and its predecessors), and the Division has a nearly complete set of HEPAP minutes at its Germantown, Maryland offices (missing are minutes for HEPAP's 38th meeting, September 8-9, 1974, and for all meetings from 1982 through 1984). The Public Affairs Room at the Department's headquarters in Washington has copies of HEPAP minutes from 1978 to the present. The minutes recount who reported on which subjects at which meetings with modest amounts of detail on the contents of the reports and the discussions they provoked. Much of HEPAP's work is carried out by subpanels, which are not required to keep records of their meetings. No official records of this or other subpanels exist beyond their final reports. The Division also creates records on the contracts it supports with university research groups. However, the Division's active files only go back two to three years. Older records are sent out for warehousing where, after 10 years, they are destroyed. There is no oversight from the DOE History Office.
HEPAP was founded in 1967 to make recommendations on the national interests of the high-energy-physics research program. Although set up by the Atomic Energy Commission, National Science Foundation (NSF) officials frequently attend meetings and solicit recommendations on their program, especially when NSF receives proposals that potentially affect the overall national effort in high-energy physics.
