Snowmass Letters of Interest

This site contains 1574 LOI’s that have been submitted to the Snowmass 2021 process. At the University of Washington we are hard at work getting ready for the summer meeting (COVID allowing…) - and I wanted to take a look at all the incoming LOI’s. The large number was unexpected - I did not think that many would show up!

The official repository can be found from the main website. The snapshot in this data was taking just as the LOI process closed. All analysis can be found in this github repository. Feel free to submit pull requests!

Detailed Information

• All At Once: All 1500 LOI’s represented on a single 2D plot, color coded by frontier. LOI’s are clustered, approximately, by their content. Hovering gets you the name and a 100 word summary. Clicking will open a new tab loading the LOI’s PDF. Enter a search-term to highlight those that contain the term (see the word list along the top of the page for valid search terms)
• Word clouds for all LOI’s and for each Frontier
• Word list - the 4000 most important words in the PDF’s. These are the words used for searching and analysis.
• Statistics - Some statistics on the batch of LOI’s last scanned to this website on September 16, 2020

Feel free to leave an issue if you have a question or a suggestion. Or contact me directly at the University of Washington. Many thanks to others who have contributed and sent me suggestions. This project is far outside my wheelhouse, so it has been a lot of cut/paste and questions. Special things to the IRIS-HEP community (web) for code snippets and suggestions!
