LANNDD - A line of liquid argon TPC detectors scalable in mass from 200 Tons to 100 Ktons

Abstract

A scalable line of liquid argon TPC detectors is described, based on a three dimensional cubic frame array immersed on a common liquid argon volume. The paper describes general lines, main construction criteria, crucial points, parameters and required preliminary R&D activities for the construction of detectors with active mass ranging from 200 ton to 100 kTon. Such detectors appear as unique for supernova detection, proton decay, LBL neutrino physics and other astropaticle physics applications.
