Description
Our high energy physics community is experiencing a transition period, and a different set of challenges in manpower than those from a couple decades ago. In terms of research participation, I find from discussions among young experimental researchers in my community that there is increasing willingness to get involved in multiple frontiers and for them to utilize their expertise in broader contexts. It is important to consider the potential, synergistic benefits for researchers to be able to exercise their skills in multiple frontiers, and this could alleviate some of the manpower issues in our field. We will also need to allow greater flexibility for the international community to participate in the US research programs, and the existing infrastructure to support international researchers needs to adapt to accommodate the increasing levels of global participation.
