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…

M. Antonello, B. Baibussinov, P. Benetti +53
Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber (LAr TPC) detectors offer charged particle imaging capability with remarkable spatial resolution. Precise event reconstruction procedures are c…
Some conclusive considerations on the comparison of the ICARUS nu_mu to nu_e oscillation search with the MiniBooNE low-energy event excess
M. Antonello, B. Baibussinov, P. Benetti +51
A sensitive search for anomalous LSND-like nu_mu to nu_e oscillations has been performed by the ICARUS Collaboration exposing the T600 LAr-TPC to the CERN to Gran Sasso (CNGS) neut…

The INFN and the ICARUS collaboration originally developed the technology of the LAr-TPC. Located the underground LNGS Hall-B, the ICARUS T600 detector has been performed over thre…
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…

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…
