ICARUS T600 Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber is the first large mass (760 tons) example of a new generation of detectors able to combine the imaging capabilities of the old famous bubble chamber with the excellent energy measurement of electronic detectors. In 2013 ICARUS concluded a very successful, long duration run with the T600 detector at the LNGS underground laboratory taking data both with the CNGS neutrino beam and with cosmic rays. Several relevant physics and technical results were achieved. A joint ICARUS/SBND/MicroBooNE effort is taking place to develop a collaborative, international program at FNAL's Booster Neutrino Beam (and NuMI off-axis) with three detectors at different baselines by 2018 (near: SBND, mid: Mi-croBooNE, far: ICARUS). The T600 detector was transported to CERN at the end of 2014 for a series of upgrades before being taken to FNAL. The refurbishment operations, inside the WA104 programme at CERN, of the Icarus T600 detector will be outlined, with an introduction to the physics program at the FNAL short-baseline Booster neutrino beam (BNB).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
