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

Connecting Quarks with the Cosmos: Eleven Science Questions for the New Century, 9780309074063 (0309074061), National Academy Press, 2003

This report is the result of a study encompassing astrophysical phenomena that give insight into fundamental physics, as well as fundamental physics relevant to understanding astrophysical phenomena, and the structure and evolution of the universe. Includes color illustrations. Softcover.

The fall 1999 meeting of the National Research Council’s (NRC’s) Board on Physics and Astronomy (BPA) featured a stimulating science session on the frontiers of research at the intersection of physics and astronomy. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) administrator Daniel Goldin attended the session and at its conclusion asked the BPA to assess the science opportunities in this interdisciplinary area and devise a plan for realizing those opportunities. Robert Eisenstein, assistant director of the National Science Foundation’s (NSF’s) Mathematical and Physical Sciences Directorate, and S. Peter Rosen, associate director for high-energy and nuclear physics at the Department of Energy (DOE), expressed their desire to work with NASA and supported the initiation of this study. The Committee on the Physics of the Universe was formed and held the first of its eight meetings in March 2000 (see Appendix A).
