ICARUS Collaboration Meeting

20 Apr 2026, 14:30 → 23 Apr 2026, 19:00 Europe/Rome

Catania

ICARUS is the world’s first large liquid-argon neutrino detector, and the technology pioneered for the experiment will be the template for future neutrino experiments.

The ICARUS collaboration studied neutrinos at Gran Sasso National Laboratory in Italy — operated by the Italian Institute for Nuclear Physics (INFN) — from 2010 to 2013 under the leadership of Nobel laureate Carlo Rubbia. The ICARUS experiment pioneered the use of a new technology for spotting neutrinos using liquid argon, 760 tons of which fill the ICARUS detector.

Now at Fermilab, as part of the SBN program, ICARUS will search for the long-theorized but never-detected sterile neutrino.

ICARUS’s liquid-argon detection technology will also be adapted for the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE), Fermilab’s flagship.   

The 2026 Spring ICARUS Collaboration Meeting will be held in Catania (Italy).
