Accessibility in High Energy Physics: Lessons from the Snowmass Process

Physics Education 2023-03-02 v3 Physics and Society

Abstract

Accessibility to participation in the high energy physics community can be impeded by many barriers. These barriers must be acknowledged and addressed to make access more equitable in the future. An accessibility survey, the Snowmass Summer Study attendance survey, and an improved accessibility survey were sent to the Snowmass2021 community. This paper will summarize and present the barriers that prevent people from participating in the Snowmass2021 process,recommendations for the various barriers, and discussions of resources and funding needed to enact these recommendations, based on the results of all three surveys, along with personal experiences of the community members.
