Abstract
In this paper, we present technical review practices in High-Energy Physics (HEP) as a collaborative mechanism for managing epistemic risks in the design and upgrade of large-scale detectors. Building on the concept of phronetic risk, which encompasses the epistemic consequences of practical decisions in science-engineering contexts, and drawing on empirical research conducted at the ATLAS collaboration
at CERN, we show that technical review facilitates collective deliberation over non-epistemic values, thereby shaping which experimental directions are deemed pursuitworthy. Our analysis highlights an organizational approach to risk management in scientific practice, challenging the predominant focus on individual decision
making in the philosophical literature on values in science.
