How to Respond to a SETI Detection
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 19 September 2017
Abstract
Implicit in the significant resources invested globally in SETI searches is the assumption that there is a small but finite probability that one such search will be successful in the next few years. The potential significance of such an event makes it essential to have contingency plans in place to deal with it. I describe the processes that are in place to deal with a SETI detection, including the SETI Post-Detection Committee and outline the challenges facing us.
