Fiscal Year 1985 Department of Energy authorization (high energy and nuclear physics). Volume II-A, No. 116. Hearing before the Subcommittee on Energy Development and Applications of the Committee on Science and Technology, House of Representatives, Ninety-Eighth Congress, Second Session, February 22, 1984

Volume II-A of the hearing record covers the testimony of Alvin Trivelpiece, Director of the Office of Energy Research, and scientists from research laboratories which receive funding for high energy and nuclear physics programs. The two programs requested a 16% increase over 1985 for a total of $746.8 million. Trivelpiece gave an overview of basic research programs and the significance of large-scale facilities for physics research. The scientists described progress made on the superconducting super collider design, the Tevatron I and II, and the Linear Accelerator Center and linear collider at Stanford in the high energy physics areas. Nuclear physics panelists described work at electron accelerator facilities and the proposed continuous beam electron accelerator facility. An appendix with additional questions and responses for the record follows the testimony of the eight witnesses
