Young Physicists PanelWhat is YPP ?

Group of “young people” (have neither tenure nor other permanent position)Interested in furthering a positive future for high energy physicsAddress unique issues of young peopleFormed in expectation of Snowmass

SurveyFirst project of zero-budget YPP should have a good results-to-cost ratio …Collect data about the issues of HEP from a diverse group of physicists with varied career stages, backgrounds, and research areas. Survey should cover variety of questions fromWhat is the most important physics for the field ? toIs it more important to be near your detector or your

advisor ?

Survey ImplementationAnonymous web-based survey Mainly multiple choice questions

Space for comments

Soliciting participantsCoincide with first 2 weeks of Snowmass for increased publicityOnline news, email distribution lists, paper copies

AnalysisSurvey responses converted to ntuples with scripts and ROOT.

Question #42: Pick a planWe looked at the online material for timelines

(we took them at their word)

Few options could begin construction within 3-5 years

“Committing” to a plan that takes longer= waiting (we can change our minds)

Only listed items that preclude other options ($150M proton driver not listed)

What are the choices …“If you had to choose from the following options, which

one would you pick:

A new e+e- collider (TESLA,NLC,CLIC) in the U.S. soon, with continued research in VLHC, and muon storage ring/muon collider technologies.

TESLA in Germany soon, with the goal of a post-LHC higher energy VLHC in the U.S.

TESLA in Germany soon, with the goal of an eventual muon storage ring/muon collider in the U.S.

Reserve judgment for several years, continue research.

Other (specify in the comments section).''

Pick a plan

Broad ConclusionsYoung and tenured physicists have similar opinionsContinental divide …Lack of permanent positions primary disadvantage to physics careerField is not doing enough outreachHiggs/EWSB clear priorities new facility, but physicists prize a balanced programGiven the options we listed, total support for a linear collider is strong (nearly 80%)

What next for YPP?Survey data available online,documentation released (short and long form), hope HEPAP finds it useful
