The T600 module is the first step of the ICARUS scientific program towards the construction of large liquid argon (LAr) masses (several kilotons) into the underground Gran Sasso Laboratory to study items of interest of the non-accelerator physics. The ICARUS LAr Time Projection Chamber provides a high resolution three-dimensional reconstruction of the ionising events that take place inside the sensitive volume. During the year 2001, after the completion of the first T600 half-module construction in the INFN laboratory in Pavia (Italy), the ICARUS Collaboration has accomplished a technical run of the detector collecting a large amount of data of cosmic ray interactions in LAr, in order to tune all the relevant detector parameters before the T600 physics run in the Gran Sasso Laboratory. Here we present the T600 main characteristics and the results of the Pavia test run.

Abstract
The T600 module is the first step of the ICARUS scientific program towards the construction of large liquid argon (LAr) masses (several kilotons) into the underground Gran Sasso Laboratory to study items of interest of the non-accelerator physics. The ICARUS LAr Time Projection Chamber provides a high resolution three-dimensional reconstruction of the ionising events that take place inside the sensitive volume. During the year 2001, after the completion of the first T600 half-module construction in the INFN laboratory in Pavia (Italy), the ICARUS Collaboration has accomplished a technical run of the detector collecting a large amount of data of cosmic ray interactions in LAr, in order to tune all the relevant detector parameters before the T600 physics run in the Gran Sasso Laboratory. Here we present the T600 main characteristics and the results of the Pavia test run.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
