Abstract

The final phase of the ICARUS physics program requires a sensitive mass of liquid Argon of 5000 tons or more. This is still true today, even after the operation of large or the planning of even larger underground detectors. The superior bubble-chamber-like features of the ICARUS detector will always provide additional and fundamental contributions to the field. The most conservative way to reach a liquid Argon sensitive mass of 5000 tons is to start with a first prototype of a modest mass: the T600 detector. This step-wise strategy allowed to develop progressively the necessary know-how to build a large liquid Argon detector. After the successful completion of a series of technical tests to be performed at the assembly hall in Pavia, the T600 detector will be ready to be transported into the LNGS tunnel.
