The '''Particle Data Group (PDG)''' is an international collaboration that involves a large number of [[Particle physics|particle physicists]] from around the world.  It compiles and analyzes published results related to the properties of particles and fundamental interactions. It also publishes reviews of theoretical results that are phenomenologically relevant, including those in cosmology.

==DOE's role==
The coordination of PDG activities is mainly based at [[Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory]] (LBNL), which has served as PDG's headquarters since its inception. 
==Stakeholders==
The PDG collaboration has authors and technical associates from numerous institutions globally. For instance, the 2024 edition of the Review of Particle Physics includes 240 authors and 4 technical associates from 173 institutions across 25 countries.
