  48. Recommendations: framework • A broad and diverse particle physics programme focussed on high priority science questions is an essential pillar of the UK science + technology base. • Optimal scientific return on long term investment should be supported during the exploitation phase of experiments. • Participation in projects that are likely to form major components of the future global Particle Physics programme should be kept at viable levels.

  49. Recommendations: framework • The potential to engage in possible future activities should be kept open, especially where key decision time frames can be identified. Where the UK is playing a leading role in design studies, appropriate funds should be made available to support these activities. Minimally a watching brief should be kept on other promising future projects. Philip Burrows PPAN Meeting, Swindon 28/9/09

  50. Recommendations: framework • The potential to engage in possible future activities should be kept open, especially where key decision time frames can be identified. Where the UK is playing a leading role in design studies, appropriate funds should be made available to support these activities. Minimally a watching brief should be kept on other promising future projects. • A strong technological R&D base must be maintained to enable a world-leading UK Particle Physics science programme and future KE opportunities. This should include generic R&D as well as that more focused on specific experiments. Philip Burrows PPAN Meeting, Swindon 28/9/09
