Objectives
1. Provide a forum in advance of the Chicago
meeting to identify existing and new directions in
neutrino physics.
2. Place the US plans in the international context.
3. Identify problems and issues for the field.
4. Begin preparation of a white paper to serve as a
basis for discussion at Chicago and beyond.

Some problems
•Constrained funding: the FY06 disaster
•Neutrino physics about 3% of the DOE + NSF program
•How to decide what nuclear physics can/should own
•Dark matter
•Role of a DUSEL
•Competing globally

The process in Santa Fe
•
•
•
Groups I and IV in parallel, then Groups II
and III. Convenors begin with a summary of
the subfield and abstracts. There should be
time for discussion around the slides shown
by submitters.
Rapporteurs summarize the subfields in 4
plenary talks this afternoon. + U/G lab.
Sunday: Building a bulleted list of the
accomplishments, next steps, needs,
problems.
