ICARUS is the world’s first large liquid-argon neutrino detector and the technology pioneered by the ICARUS Collaboration is the template for future neutrino experiments.
Scientists have observed three types of neutrino — the muon, electron and tau neutrinos — and have also observed them changing between types. These three types of neutrino might also be changing into a fourth, called a sterile neutrino, so far undetected.
The ICARUS Collaboration, as part of the Fermilab short-baseline neutrino program, alongside with SBND and MicroBooNE, will seek evidence of the sterile neutrino.
