THEMISTOCLE is a Particle Physics experiment proposing to search for new phenomena in photon-hadron interactions at an energy beyond the scale of the Standard Model. The use of cosmic beams of high energy gamma rays should be possible by a strong enhancement of the signal to background ratio on point-like sources, achieved via an angular resolution better than 1 mrd and based on a high precision timing analysis of the Cerenkov light wavefront of atmospheric showers. An 18 mirror pilot experiment is now being set-up and should be competitive with existing or planned air shower detectors. It will be used to evaluate the design limits and the ``beam'' properties before proposing the construction of a larger scale detector.
