Important open questions are still present in fundamental Physics and Cosmology, like the nature of Dark Matter, matter-antimatter asymmetry validity Standard Model particle interactions. Addressing these requires a new generation massive detectors to explore subatomic astrophysical worlds. ICARUS T600 is first large mass (760 tons) example able combine imaging capabilities old famous ``bubble chamber'' with excellent energy measurement huge electronic detectors. now operates at Gran Sasso...
A dedicated test of the effects Nitrogen contamination in liquid Argon has been performed at INFN-Gran Sasso Laboratory (LNGS, Italy) within WArP R&D program. detector designed and assembled for this specific task connected to a system injection controlled amounts gaseous into Argon. The purpose is detect reduction Ar scintillation light emission as function amount contaminant injected volume. wide concentration range, spanning from ∼ 10−1 ppm up 103 ppm, explored. Measurements have done...
The preponderance of matter over antimatter in the early Universe, dynamics supernova bursts that produced heavy elements necessary for life and whether protons eventually decay --- these mysteries at forefront particle physics astrophysics are key to understanding evolution our its current state eventual fate. Long-Baseline Neutrino Experiment (LBNE) represents an extensively developed plan a world-class experiment dedicated addressing questions. LBNE is conceived around three central...
