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 three years with remarkable detection efficiency featuring a smooth operation, high live time, and high reliability. About 3000 CNGS neutrino events have been collected and are being actively analyzed. ICARUS will now be moved to CERN for an extensive R&D program. The T600 detector will be overhauled and complemented with a similar T150 detector. These improvements are performed in collaboration with the LBNE experiment, of which several INFN Institutions are now members. As a novelty, a SC magnetic field of about 1 T will be introduced. During 2016 it is proposed to move the experiment to FNAL where short base line neutrino beams are available, complementing the approved MicroBooNe experiment which will start operation in 2014. The ICARUS detectors at FNAL will be an important addition since, in absence of anomalies, the signals of several detectors at different distances from the target should be a copy of each other for all experimental signatures. Due to the reduced mass, in MicroBooNE the anti-neutrino signal is too weak for a sensitive comparison. Hence, a definitive clarification of the LSND anomaly requires the exploration of the anti-neutrino signal provided by the much larger T600. The magnetic field will allow separating the anti-neutrino signal from the neutrino-induced background. It is proposed to expose the T600 at the Booster NuBeam at ~700 m from target; the T150 will be located at ~150 m. The T600 will also receive >10^4 nu_e events/year from the off-axis NUMI beam peaked around 1 GeV and exploitable to prepare for the LBNE experiment. The ICARUS teams are also interested in extending the participation to other short baseline neutrino activities collaborating with existing FNAL groups.

Operation and performance of the ICARUS-T600 cryogenic plant at Gran Sasso underground Laboratory
ICARUS T600液氩时间投影室是新一代的第一个大质量电子探测器，它能够将旧泡室的成像能力与出色的量热能量测量相结合。2001年在帕维亚进行了三个月的地面示范运行后，T600低温工厂在可靠性和安全性方面进行了重大修改，考虑到其在地下环境中的长期运行。T600探测器于2010年春季在INFN Gran Sasso实验室的B厅启动，在那里不间断地运行了大约三年，将暴露于欧洲核子研究中心的数据带到Gran Sasso长基线中微子束和宇宙射线。本文详细介绍了T600低温装置以及在液态氩填充结束后不久成功运行探测器的调试程序。讨论了长期地下运行期间的总体电厂性能和稳定性。最后，退役程序，进行了约6个月后，CNGS中微子束操作结束，报告。
