Description
This talk will be devoted to the presentation of the ANDES underground
laboratory project, which is a component of the Agua Negra Tunnel road
complex, a 14 Km long tunnel under the Andes high mountains connecting
Argentina and Chile. We shall talk about the motivations, prospects and
design of this facility, which will be the first of its type in the southern hemi-
sphere. The lab will be located at the deepest site under the mountains and
the place is shield by about 5000 m.w.e.. The physics involved, as well as
other potential applications to biology, geology and material sciences, are
