Abstract
For the field of high energy physics to continue to have a bright future,priority within the field must be given to investments in the development ofboth evolutionary and transformational detector development that is coordinatedacross the national laboratories and with the university community,international partners and other disciplines. While the fundamental sciencequestions addressed by high energy physics have never been more compelling,there is acute awareness of the challenging budgetary and technical constraintswhen scaling current technologies. Furthermore, many technologies are reachingtheir sensitivity limit and new approaches need to be developed to overcome thecurrently irreducible technological challenges. This situation is unfoldingagainst a backdrop of declining funding for instrumentation, both at thenational laboratories and in particular at the universities. This trend has tobe reversed for the country to continue to play a leadership role in particlephysics, especially in this most promising era of imminent new discoveries thatcould finally break the hugely successful, but limited, Standard Model offundamental particle interactions. In this challenging environment it isessential that the community invest anew in instrumentation and optimize theuse of the available resources to develop new innovative, cost-effectiveinstrumentation, as this is our best hope to successfully accomplish themission of high energy physics. This report summarizes the current status ofinstrumentation for high energy physics, the challenges and needs of futureexperiments and indicates high priority research areas.
