The ICARUS Liquid Argon TPC: A neutrino "bubble chamber" after Gargamelle

Carlo Rubbia

Abstract

The success of the bubble chamber in high energy physics was due to two fundamental characteristics: (1) it provided a massive target (2) with complete imaging and reconstruction of the events. In this context, the Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber can be considered as a modern fully electronic "bubble chamber". In this talk, we review the developments that led to the ICARUS T600 detector.
