Because of the neutrino interest, we proposed the experiment to find the tau neutrino. Once that got approved and going, I was able to get away from all of my management responsibilities and just do the research. When we were taking data and analyzing it, I was just doing science, like a postdoc again. I like to change what I do, and I feel that the research part is the most fun, but the Lab needs people to do the other also. These two experiments are high profile.
Neutrino experiments are certainly one of the major directions.
My colleagues on the big collider detectors would say that the neutrinos are just a small aspect of the future of physics. Of course the collider experiments take most of the Lab's resources and are on the energy frontier running the machine at its maximum possible energy. That involves top physics, supersymmetry, searches for the Higgs and the fundamental electro-weak symmetry breaking. That's a big topic in high-energy physics. Another big topic is neutrino physics and it can be done, not at the energy frontier, but what we call the intensity frontier.
