Guidelines for EF Implementation of Snowmass Delay

Dates for slowdown of activities: Feb 1, 2021 until June 30, 2021

The challenges posed by the continuing COVID-19 pandemic has led the APS/DPF Snowmass Steering Group to delay the Snowmass Report and the Community Summer Study meeting (CSS) by one year until 2022. The announcement and more information, including deadlines for contributed papers and reports, is provided on the Snowmass Wiki page. Any comments or clarification of these guidelines should be directed to the EF conveners.

In accordance with the guidelines, the Energy Frontier plans to implement a “slow down” of all the activities until the end of June 2021. The guidelines for Energy Frontier activities are elaborated below.

In particular, until June 30, 2021, the only informally organized activities will be the occasional “Topical Group conversations”, which provide a gathering place for discussions and support for members of our community as needed, and are expected to take place about 3 times per Topical Group during the slowdown period.
