The 1983 Subpanel on New Facilities of the High Energy Physics Advisory Panel (HEPAP) was formed in February 1983 and completed its report in July 1983. During the intervening 5 months the Subpanel held site meetings at three major accelerator laboratories, heard formal presentations from a number of prominent physicists, received almost 200 letters from members of the high energy physics community, and studied in depth all of the relevant written material. The final recommendations were arrived at after two lengthy deliberative meetings held in June and July at the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) Study Center at Woods Hole, Massachusetts, and at the Nevis Laboratory, Columbia University. The recommendations arrived at by the Subpanel are as follows: (1) the Subpanel unanimously recommends the immediate initiation of a multi-TeV high-luminosity proton-proton collider project with the goal of physics experiments at this facility at the earliest possible date; (2) the Subpanel recommends the rapid completion of current construction projects, Tevatron and the SLAC Linear Collider (SLC), the upgrading of the Cornell Electron Storage Ring (CESR) and associated detectors, and the thorough utilization of all existing facilities; (3) the Subpanel recommends that Fermilab not proceed at this time with the Dedicated Collider (DC); (4) by a majority vote, the Subpanel recommends that the Colliding Beam Accelerator (CBA) project at Brookhaven not be approved; (5) the Subpanel recommends that technology research and development, particularly advanced accelerator research and development, be strongly supported.
