The 1995 DOE/NSF/DPF Survey of U.S. Particle Physics

The following tables and graphs are summaries of results from a 1995 survey of Particle Physics in the United States commissioned by DOE, NSF, and DPF. The survey was performed by the Particle Data Group

The survey covered only particle physicists funded by NSF or by the DOE HEP Division. There were 2494 respondents. We estimate coverage at 70%.
