2. PPAP Terms of Reference
‘Draft and maintain a roadmap describing current and future research opportunities in their areas, for presentation and approval by PPAN
Consult and interact with the community to ensure its views are canvassed and there is an appropriate and effective route for communication with STFC on strategic programmatic issues
Make an independent presentation to PPAN on the relevant panel area in years in which an STFC Programmatic Review takes place, thereby providing community input to the programmatic review process
Respond to other specific requests from PPAN for advice as the need arises’

11. Discussion questions for today
Should investment in future colliders be dependent upon and await LHC results?
If the UK had to choose between major investment in LHC upgrades and a GeV linear collider, what would the decision criteria be?
Under what circumstances should the UK commit significant funds to LHeC? Is this mutually exclusive with the construction of other high energy facilities?
Should the UK participate in R&D on very long-term colliders such as a muon collider, or a higher energy hadron collider?
Should the UK be a player in the design of future high-energy accelerator facilities, or should we concentrate on physics and detectors?
Within theoretical physics, what should the balance be between research into fundamental questions not yet directly accessible to experiment, and more phenomenological research?
