(Cracow, INP) et al.
The accumulation of positive ions, produced by ionizing particles crossing Liquid Argon Time Projection Chambers (LAr-TPCs), may generate distortions of the electric drift field affecting the track reconstruction of the ionizing events. These effects could become relevant for large LAr-TPCs operating at surface or at shallow depth, where the detectors are exposed to a copious flux of cosmic rays. [...]

Muon momentum measurement in ICARUS-T600 LAr-TPC via multiple scattering in few-GeV range
/ ICARUS Collaboration
The measurement of muon momentum by Multiple Coulomb Scattering is a crucial ingredient to the reconstruction of {\nu}{\mu} CC events in the ICARUS-T600 liquid argon TPC in absence of magnetic field, as in the search for sterile neutrinos at Fermilab where ICARUS will be exposed to ~1 GeV Booster neutrino beam. A sample of ~1000 stopping muons produced by charged current interactions of CNGS {\nu}{\mu} in the surrounding rock at the INFN Gran Sasso underground Laboratory provides an ideal benchmark in the few-GeV range since their momentum can be directly and independently obtained by the calorimetric measurement.

Operation and performance of the ICARUS-T600 cryogenic plant at Gran Sasso underground Laboratory
/ Antonello, M. (Gran Sasso) ; Aprili, P. (Gran Sasso) ; Baibussinov, B. (INFN, Padua) ; Boffelli, F. (INFN, Pavia) ; Bubak, A. (Silesia U.) ; Calligarich, E. (Pavia U.) ; Canci, N. (Gran Sasso) ; Centro, S. (INFN, Padua ; Padua U.) ; Cesana, A. (Milan Polytechnic) ; Cieślik, K. (Cracow, INP) et al.
ICARUS T600 liquid argon time projection chamber is the first large mass electronic detector of a new generation able to combine the imaging capabilities of the old bubble chambers with the excellent calorimetric energy measurement. After the three months demonstration run on surface in Pavia during 2001, the T600 cryogenic plant was significantly revised, in terms of reliability and safety, in view of its long-term operation in an underground environment.

Experimental observation of an extremely high electron lifetime with the ICARUS-T600 LAr-TPC
/ Antonello, M ; Baibussinov, B ; Benetti, P ; Boffelli, F ; Bubak, A ; Calligarich, E ; Centro, S ; Cesana, A ; Cieslik, K ; Cline, D B et al.
The ICARUS T600 detector, the largest liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber (LAr-TPC) realized after many years of RD activities, was installed and successfully operated for 3 years at the INFN Gran Sasso underground Laboratory. One of the most important issues was the need of an extremely low residual electronegative impurity content in the liquid Argon, in order to transport the free electrons created by the ionizing particles with a very small attenuation along the drift path.

The trigger system of the ICARUS experiment for the CNGS beam
/ ICARUS Collaboration
The ICARUS T600 detector, with its 470 tons of active mass, is the largest liquid Argon TPC ever built. Operated for three years in the LNGS underground laboratory, it has collected thousands of CNGS neutrino beam interactions and cosmic ray events with energy spanning from tens of MeV to tens of GeV, with a trigger system based on scintillation light, charge signal on TPC wires and time information (for beam related events only).

Search for anomalies in the $\nu_e$ appearance from a $\nu_\mu$ beam
/ ICARUS collaboration
We report an updated result from the ICARUS experiment on the search for {\nu}{\mu} ->{\nu}e anomalies with the CNGS beam, produced at CERN with an average energy of 20 GeV and travelling 730 km to the Gran Sasso Laboratory. The present analysis is based on a total sample of 1995 events of CNGS neutrino interactions, which corresponds to an almost doubled sample with respect to the previously published result. [...]
