Fermilab hosted a workshop dedicated to muon collider physics and detectors on Dec. 14-16, 2022. Another workshop at the Kavli Institute of Theoretical Physics followed later this spring.

From APS News, March 16, 2023: The much anticipated P5 report will be out later this year. In the meantime, the 30-members of the P5 panel are gathering information at town hall meetings this summer. This input will be added to the new information gathered at Snowmass 2022 for the first time that includes more early career researcher involvement and improved conversations about equity and inclusion.
Scientists in the particle physics community are bringing environmental and climate issues to the table in discussions about future research.
Join the Fermilab community in a seminar series discussing the future of physics at Fermilab in light of the Snowmass outputs and leading into the P5 town halls and report. The seminars will be held in Wilson Hall’s One West on Thursdays at 4 p.m., beginning Feb. 9. Cookies and coffee will be available on the 2nd floor crossover before each seminar.

From the American Institute of Physics, Dec. 5, 2022: What is next for the P5 process and the final report from the Snowmass conference? Later this week, the High Energy Physics Advisory Panel will hear from Fermilab physicist Joel Butler who said the report is likely to be finalized within weeks.
From the CERN Courier, November 7, 2022: Fermilab’s Joel Butler and a group of scientists describe the recent ‘Snowmass’ community planning exercise in Seattle, Washington which reveal the great opportunities present in high-energy physics in the coming decades.
Despite challenges, some physics faculty at predominantly undergraduate institutions make research experiences available to students.
From Scientific American, September 8, 2022: What came out of Snowmass 2022? In late July, nearly 800 particle physicists met for over 10 days for the once-a-decade Snowmass process to discuss and build a unified scientific vision for the future of particle physics. Find out what Fermilab director Lia Merminga presented and more about discussions around DUNE, diversity, SUSY, the LHC, future colliders and more.
The workshop is the culmination of a two-year process to provide a scientific vision and detailed proposals to the planning process for the future of US particle physics.
A series of Snowmass Agora events on Future Colliders, intended for all Snowmass participants, are being held about once a month, through April 2022. Thanks to all those who registered and attended the previous Agora events! The fifth and final Agora on Advanced Colliders, will be held Wednesday, April 13, 2022, from 3:00 – 5:00 pm CST. An informal post-Agora chat is anticipated for an additional 30-40 minutes. Please register for the event, as soon as possible, at https://indico.fnal.gov/event/53848 or https://indico.fnal.gov/e/snowmass-agora/. You…
