Report on the Neutrino and Subterranean Science Workshop

The International Workshop on Neutrinos and Subterranean Science (NeSS 2002) was held September 19-21 in Washington, DC, pursuant to a request from the executive branch of the U.S. government for a workshop to develop a roadmap that will guide neutrino and subterranean science investigations worldwide over the next few years. The interdisciplinary meeting was structured around scientific working groups that covered six sub-disciplines of physical science – double betadecay, proton decay, neutrino oscillations, dark matter, solar neutrinos, astrophysical and cosmological neutrinos; three sub-disciplines of geoscience – geology, geoengineering and geobiology; as well as the topics of national security, and education and outreach.
