Abstract

The successful run of ICARUS T600 at LNGS underground laboratory, receiving CNGS beam and atmospheric neutrinos, represents the first large-scale example of a liquid Argon TPC in a neutrino physics experiment. The relevant physics and technological results proved the maturity of the LAr TPC technique. The ICARUS T600 detector will take part in the SBN project at the Booster neutrino beam at FNAL, that has the goal to provide a definitive answer to the sterile neutrino puzzle by measuring both νe appearance and νμ disappearance. The detector is currently undergoing an extensive overhauling at CERN, and its installation at FNAL is scheduled for the beginning of 2017.
