The Committee on Elementary-Particle Physics (CEPP) was convened by the National Research Council's Board on Physics and Astronomy to assess the field of elementary particle physics as part of the new survey series, Physics in a New Era. The talk will present the main conclusions of this study. If adopted, U.S. scientists should be able to participate in what are likely to be profound and exciting discoveries, discoveries of a nature not seen before. The committee had two main objectives: (1) to describe the current status of elementary-particle physics and the most important research issues in the field; (2) to identify the elements of a research program for the next two decades that represents a fiscally and scientifically wise approach to addressing these issues and maintaining the United States as a leader in the field. The committee considered the facilities, instruments, and detectors that are required to carry out research in this field and outlined future options. The committee also described the field's relationships with other areas of physics and technology, and considered the general issues of education, manpower, and international cooperation; elementary-particle physics's relevance to society; its contributions to the welfare of the country; and the practical benefits of accelerator science and technology. The CEPP report presents the key research opportunities for Elementary Particle Physics in light of recent advances in experimental and theoretical understanding and in technology.(The committee report is available from National Academy Press and is posted on the BPA website at www.nas.edu/bpa.)
