Measurement of the neutrino velocity with the ICARUS detector at the CNGS beam

M. Antonello, P. Aprili, B. Baibussinov +62

The CERN-SPS accelerator has been briefly operated in a new, lower intensity neutrino mode with ~10^12 p.o.t. /pulse and with a beam structure made of four LHC-like extractions, ea…

Underground operation of the ICARUS T600 LAr-TPC: first results

C. Rubbia, M. Antonello, P. Aprili +74

Open questions are still present in fundamental Physics and Cosmology, like the nature of Dark Matter, the matter-antimatter asymmetry and the validity of the particle interaction…

A hardware implementation of Region-of-Interest selection in LAr-TPC for data reduction and triggering

B. Baibussinov, S. Centro, K. Cieslik +11

Large Liquid Argon TPC detectors in the range of multikton mass for neutrino and astroparticle physics require the extraction and treatment of signals from some 105 wires. In order…

The trigger system of the ICARUS experiment for the CNGS beam

M. Antonello, B. Baibussinov, P. Benetti +56

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 collecte…

Search for anomalies in the neutrino sector with muon spectrometers and large LArTPC imaging detectors at CERN

M. Antonello, D. Bagliani, B. Baibussinov +136

A new experiment with an intense ~2 GeV neutrino beam at CERN SPS is proposed in order to definitely clarify the possible existence of additional neutrino states, as pointed out by…

Experimental search for the LSND anomaly with the ICARUS detector in the CNGS neutrino beam

M. Antonello, B. Baibussinov, P. Benetti +54

We report an early result from the ICARUS experiment on the search for nu_mu to nu_e signal due to the LSND anomaly. The search was performed with the ICARUS T600 detector located…

A search for the analogue to Cherenkov radiation by high energy neutrinos at superluminal speeds in ICARUS

ICARUS Collaboration, M. Antonello, P. Aprili +62

The OPERA collaboration has claimed evidence of superluminal ν{_μ} propagation between CERN and the LNGS. Cohen and Glashow argued that such neutrinos should lose energy by produ…

Reply to "Comment on 'Strong Measurements Give a Better Direct Measurement of the Quantum Wave Function' "

G. Vallone, D. Dequal

This is the reply to [arXiv:1711.00764], in which the authors claim that there is crucial normalization error in PRL 116, 040502 (2016) and that some quantities appearing in the me…

Search for "anomalies" from neutrino and anti-neutrino oscillations at Delta_m^2 ~ 1eV^2 with muon spectrometers and large LAr-TPC imaging detectors

M. Antonello, D. Bagliani, B. Baibussinov +136

This proposal describes an experimental search for sterile neutrinos beyond the Standard Model with a new CERN-SPS neutrino beam. The experiment is based on two identical LAr-TPC's…
