Discussion questions for today What should be the main UK priorities for neutrino and non-accelerator physics over the next ten years? How should the UK be preparing for the long term long-baseline neutrino oscillation experimental programme (in the US, Europe or Japan)? What should be the UK strategy for neutrinoless double beta decay for the next ten years and beyond. What level of funding is desirable/reasonable? What should be the UK involvement in dark matter experiments and what level of funding is desirable/reasonable? What level of investment should there be in the Boulby underground laboratory or at other sites world wide? What should be the level of investment in the development of liquid argon for neutrino physics? What should be the level of UK involvement in detector and accelerator R&D for the neutrino factory (including MICE)? Philip Burrows PPAP Community Reviews, Birmingham 15/7/09
