Physics Division Field Task Proposals (FTPs) & Financial Plans. Research and Development Files, 1971-1985.

Series consists of bound Field Task Proposals, program plans, and budget charts. The Department of Energy (DOE) required all contract national laboratories to complete Field Task Proposals according to the Laboratory's institutional plan for the fiscal year. Laboratory divisions, such as Physics, provided program summaries explaining the scientific value, and the funding and technical support, personnel, and space required for each program. Each FTP lists contractor number, task title, reporting code, task manager and principal investigators, and lists of reports and publications. Programs included analytical and numerical methods, asteroid impacts and mass extinctions studies, semiconductor detector development, ten-meter and rubber mirror telescope projects, super-novae detection, charm-pp interaction and other particle studies, Time Projection Chamber (TPC) and Positron-Electron Project (PEP) experimental facility research and development, and electronic instrumentation projects. A substantial number of high-energy-physics programs are represented in the series, including technology, research, and facility operations and various collaborative investigations. Fiscal years 1972-1976 include medium-energy-physics programs, nucleon-nucleon, and pion-nucleon scattering studies. Division budget charts and DOE budget schedules 189 are located in the front of most binders.
