Description
The ANDES project aims at the construction of an underground laboratory in
the Agua Negra tunnel between Argentina and Chile. The laboratory will
consists of a series of halls, each of them able to accommodate state of
the art experimental arrays dedicated to dark matter, double beta decay
and neutrino oscillation measurements, as well as to other devices
oriented to geological and biological searches. The place will enjoy the
shielding of 4500 to 4800 mwe. In the first part of the talk I will
address some technical issues related to the design of ANDES and about the
CLES, which is the academic and administrative organization which will run
the lab. Then, as an example of the physics of ANDES, I shall talk on the
neutrino mass problem and relate it with recent experimental and
theoretical results.
