The main goal of this initiative is to promote HEP in Peru and Latin America. The School will be held in the ancient city of Cusco from August 1st to 13th, 1994, and is organized by Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia in collaboration with Universidad Nacional San Antonio Abad del Cusco (UNSAAC) and other Peruvian institutions.

It will include three sets of special laboratory sessions, one dedicated to Multiwire proportional chambers, another one, to the implementation on PCs of Monte Carlo applications packages of the CERN Program Library, and the last one to signal processing. The lectures will be given during the period August 1st to August 13th, 1994. As indicated in the timetable, they start at 9:00 a.m. and their duration is 45 minutes. All lectures will be given in English, though questions in Spanish will be welcome. SCIENTIFIC PROGRAMME: The programme consists of three essential topics. 1.- Theoretical Physics: (a) Particle Physics Phenomenology, (b) Standard Model and beyond, (c) Cosmic Ray Physics. 2.- Experimental Physics: (a) Accelerator experiments, (b) Underground and Cosmic Ray experiments. 3.- Experimental Techniques (a) Detector developments, (b) Software developments, i. Montecarlo Simulation for HEP, ii. Montecarlo Simulation on PCs. (c) Signal Processing. ORGANIZATION OF THE PROGRAMME: There will be three types of activities: COURSES: Sequence of lectures providing the basics in physics research and their associated techniques. CONFERENCES: Specialized topics, whose level assumes basic knowledge of theoretical concepts and experimental techniques. LABORATORY WORK: Selected basic experimental techniques on high energy particles detection, signal processing and installation and use of packages of the main CERN Program Library adapted for PCs. Possible changes in the Lecture Programme will be announced in the last Bulletin, which will be edited one week before the opening of the school. GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT CUSCO The city of Cusco is considered the archaeological capital of America. It is located at latitude 13o 18' S, and 3450 m above sea level and at 1133 km from the capital Lima. Its weather is mild and dry and its average temperature is of 18 C during the day falling to between 10 C and 12 C at night. In Quechua, the Inca language, the word Cusco means "navel" and Cusco is indeed the navel or heart of South America, the centre of the great Inca civilization. The city was founded around the year 1200, and reached its era of splendour during the first half of the 15th century when Pachacutec reigned over the Incas. The Spaniards conquered the city in 1553, and stayed there for more than three centuries. Thus, in Cusco two cultures merged, shaping in the process the spirit of modern Peru. From that mixture of races and traditions were born the most important schools of art in Peru and the ancient University of San Antonio Abad. Near Cusco is the Sacred Valley of the Incas where is laying some of the priceless treasures of Peruvian archaeology: Machu Picchu, Sacsayhuaman, Ollantaytambo and Pisac. For its magnificence the great Inca sanctuary of Machu Picchu stands out in this group. It is built above the granite canyon of Urubamba, in the first outposts of the Amazon rain forest, and it is surrounded by walls more than a metre thick. There, the sun, the moon, clouds and stars were worshipped. One of its principal attractions is the mystery of its origin and the secret nature of its history. SOCIAL PROGRAMME A variety of entertainment in Cusco will be arranged. These will include the School Banquet, which will take place during the final week of the School, and an evening of traditional Peruvian dance and music at the Teatro Municipal. In addition, some excursions to places of interest near Cusco and further afield will be organized as part of the extensive social programme for participants and accompanying persons. REGISTRATION The registration fee is: Participants US$ 150 Accompanying persons US$ 50 The registration fee for participants includes a copy of the proceedings and covers the cost of the social programme. The fee for the accompanying persons covers the social programme only. TRAVEL INFORMATION Direct flights to Lima are available from Europe, USA and Latin America. There is daily connection between Lima and Cusco by plane and bus. VISA REQUIREMENTS Those participants who require a visa to enter Peru should apply to the nearest Peruvian Consular Office on good time. PERUVIAN CURRENCY The NUEVO SOL (S/.) is the monetary unit of currency in Peru, it is freely convertible to other currencies. The present exchange rate is: 1 US$ = 2.20 NUEVOS SOLES. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> TENTATIVE SCIENTIFIC PROGRAMME FIRST INTERNATIONAL WINTER SCHOOL ON HIGH ENERGY PHYSICS Cusco, August 1-13, 1994 PROGRAMME COURSES Phenomenology of Particle Physics (PPP), (6 h) J.
