The Committee on Nuclear Physics (CNP) will carry out a study that will describe the field's status and plans for the future. Topics to be addressed in the study will include the research agenda for nuclear physics; accelerator and detector advances; the relationship with elementary-particle physics, astrophysics and cosmology, and other allied fields; the field's role in education; its role in providing skilled personnel for other fields and for industry; infrastructure issues, including employment of physicists; the standing of U.S. efforts relative to those abroad; international collaboration; and the balance between experimental and theoretical work. This study is part of the new survey, Physics in a New Era.
