This past July about sixty physicists from sixteen different
countries gathered at St. Croix in the United States Virgin Islands
for an Advanced Study Institute (ASI) on Techniques and Concepts of
High Energy Physics. The initial idea for the Institute arose one
blustery and miserable day at Fermilab during discussions about all
the wonderful summer schools that were prevalent throughout Europe
but essentially nonexistent in the United States. I felt that it
would be of great value to have an Institute that was located in a
beautiful area and that catered primarily to the hard working
experimenters who stoically suffer both the winter cold and summer
heat at Fermilab. Summer schools in our field generally provide the
very useful opportunity of meeting physicists who work along
different lines of research, as well as the opportunity of keeping
abreast of new developments. All schools tend to emphasize recent
theoretical advances and phenomenology, while technical questions
that are of great interest to experimenters are seldom discussed.
It seemed appropriate therefore to organize a summer institute that
would combine topics in accelerator design, data acquisition and
the like, with the more standard theoretical fare. This is the
general idea that prevailed in setting up the program of the
Institute at St."
