In particular, Recommendation 1 stated “As the highest priority independent of the budget scenarios, [funding agencies must] complete construction projects and support operations of ongoing experiments and research to enable maximum science.” This reflects concerns throughout the community of potential abrupt cancellations of ongoing particle physics projects, as flagged by the Benchmarking Panel. The P5 report sought to control the narrative of the DUNE project, which has seen an explosion in cost between the 2014 and 2023 P5 reports and is now lagging behind the competing HyperKamiokande project that will turn on in 2027. P5 offered compromises on beam power for DUNE Phase I and reductions of the DUNE Phase II upgrades to keep the project funding on track to begin data-taking in 2031.
