Connecting Quarks with the Cosmos: Eleven Science Questions for the New Century

National Research Council,Division on Engineering and Physical Sciences,Board on Physics and Astronomy,Committee on the Physics of the Universe

Advances made by physicists in understanding matter, space and time and by astronomers in understanding the universe as a whole have closely intertwined the question being asked about the universe at its two extremes - the very large and the very small. This report identifies 11 key questions that have a good chance of being answered by 2015. It urges that a new research strategy be created that brings to bear the techniques of both astronomy and sub-atomic physics in a cross-disciplinary way to address these questions. The report presents seven recommendations to facilitate the necessary research and development co-ordination. These recommendations identify key priorities for future scientific projects critical for realizing these scientific opportunities.
