GLACIER R&D definition
GLACIER R&D. The liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber (LAr TPC) detection technology has among the three the best performance in the identification of the topology of interactions and decays of particles, thanks to the bubble-chamber like imaging performance. LAr TPCs are very versatile and work well with a wide particle energy range. Experience with such detectors has been gained within the ICARUS project. Novel R&D is necessary to understand the extrapolation of this technique to very large masses.

As far as the latter subject is concerned we are realizing at LHEP,in collaboration with ETHZ and the University of Granada, a 5 m long LAr TPC detector (ARGONTUBE), in the framework of the GLACIER R&D program.
