INFORMATION BULLETIN No.1

The Workshop continues a series of workshops started by the Institute of Nuclear Physics in 1985 and conceived with the purpose of presenting topics of current interest and providing a stimulating environment for scientific discussion on new developments in theoretical and experimental high energy physics and physical programs for future colliders. Traditionally the list of workshop attendees includes a great number of active young scientists from Russia and other countries.

The Workshop will take place in the city of Samara from September 4 till September 10, 1997. Samara is one of the biggest and oldest Russian cities on the river Volga and it is a part of the UNKNOWN RUSSIA, because it was closed for foreigners for many years. During the World War II the city (then named Kuibyshev) was the second capital of the Soviet Union for almost three years, because the Soviet Government and the diplomatic corps were relocated to Samara. The city is famous for its unique surrounding countryside with the river Volga and the Zhiguli Mountains, masterpieces of architecture, theaters and museums, including the Stalin's Bunker.

The participants of the Workshop will stay and work at a holiday hotel "Samarskiy", situated in a secluded quiet city park on the bank of the river Volga.

Scientific program

The Workshop will include plenary and afternoon sessions. The plenary sessions will consist of invited lectures; the afternoon sessions will include original talks.
Main topics to be covered are:

I. The latest results of the experiments at HERA, LEP2, TEVATRON.

II. Theoretical support of experiments at the operating accelerators. Precision tests of the Standard Model.

III. Physics at the future linear e+ e- , e gamma and gamma gamma colliders and at the hadron collider LHC:

phenomenology of the t-quark
search for the Higgs boson
phenomenology of the scalar bosons at TeV energies
vector bosons at TeV energies
search for new particles and new interactions

IV. Physical ideas and theories beyond the Standard Model.

SUSY extensions of the Standard Model
mechanisms of spontaneous breaking of gauge symmetry
compositeness models of quarks, leptons, gauge and Higgs bosons
models inspired by the superstring theory
quantum groups and other ideas from modern geometry and algebra

V. Modern computational methods in theoretical high energy physics.

problems of automation in calculation of Feynman diagrams
new methods of calculating (multi)loop integrals
applications of computer algebra methods and their development

VI. Methodological problems in teaching quantum physics in universities and higher schools.

The working language at the Workshop will be English.

Contributions and Proceedings

Talks will be selected by the Organizing Committee on the basis of abstracts to be submitted before August 1, 1997.

The Workshop Proceedings will be published, the instructions for authors are here.
