Operation of a 10 m 3 ICARUS detector module
نویسنده
چکیده
The 10m ICARUS module, used in Pavia until July 1999 for cryogenic and mechanical tests, has been widely modified in order to reflect the final design of the ICARUS 600 t detector. After transportation to the Gran Sasso Laboratory, in February, 2000 it began recording high quality images of long (more than 3m) ionising tracks in the sensitive Argon volume. # 2001 Published by Elsevier Science B.V.

Results from the ICARUS T 600 module
We have studied the µ decay energy spectrum from a sample of stopping µ events acquired during the test run of the ICARUS T600 prototype. This detector allows the spatial reconstruction of the events with fine granularity, hence the precise measurement of the µ range and dE/dx with high sampling rate. This information is used to compute the correction factors needed for the calorimetric reconst...

Examples are given which prove the ICARUS detector quality through relevant physics measurements. We study the μ decay energy spectrum from a sample of stopping μ events acquired during the test run of the ICARUS T600 detector. This detector allows the spatial reconstruction of the events with fine granularity, hence, the precise measurement of the range and dE/dx of the μ with high sampling ra...
متن کاملSTATUS OF ICARUS J. RICO for the ICARUS Collaboration a
The ICARUS detector is a liquid argon time projection chamber. It provides three dimensional imaging and calorimetry of ionizing particles over a large volume, with high granularity. Its Physics program includes the study of atmospheric, solar, supernovae and beam neutrinos as well as proton decay searches. The ICARUS technology has reached maturity with the construction and test (during summer...
متن کاملMeasurement of Through-Going Particle Momentum By Means Of Multiple Scattering With The ICARUS T600 TPC
The ICARUS collaboration has demonstrated, following the operation of a 600 ton (T600) detector at shallow depth, that the technique based on liquid Argon TPCs is now mature. The study of rare events, not contemplated in the Standard Model, can greatly benefit from the use of this kind of detectors. In particular, a deeper understanding of atmospheric neutrino properties will be obtained thanks...
متن کاملThe liquid Argon TPC: a powerful detector for future neutrino experiments and proton decay searches
We discuss the possibility of new generation neutrino and astroparticle physics experiments exploiting the liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber (LAr TPC) technique, following a graded strategy that envisions applications with increasing detector masses (from 100 ton to 100 kton). The ICARUS R&D program has already demonstrated that the technology is mature with the test of the T600 detector at ...
