    The OPERA experiment aims to observe tau neutrinos in the CNGS mu-neutrino beam using emulsion films packed into bricks based on the Emulsion Cloud Chambers (ECC) technology. ECC provides a spatial resolution of tracks and vertices on the level of a micrometer which is sufficient to unambiguously identify tau leptons produced in the primary vertex. An important background to a search for tau...

    The T2K experiment is a long-baseline neutrino oscillations experiment, designed to improve the sensitivity to $\theta_{13}$ by at least one order of magnitude and to determine more accurately the ``atmospheric'' parameters $\theta_{23}$ and $\Delta m_{23}^2$. For this purpose a high intensity $\nu_{\mu}$ beam ($\sim$700~MeV peak energy) produced at the JPARC accelerator complex will be...

    MINERvA is a dedicated neutrino scattering experiment which will collect data in the NuMI beam at Fermilab. The experiment is designed to measure inclusive and exclusive cross-sections for a wide variety of neutrino reactions over a 1-20 GeV range of neutrino energies. The MINERvA detector is centered around a fully-active, low-density, tracking chamber consisting of plastic scintillator...

    Talk
    Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber (LAr TPC) detectors are well suited to study neutrino interactions, and are an intriguing option for future massive detectors capable of measuring the parameters that characterize neutrino oscillations. These detectors combine fine-grained tracking with calorimetry, allowing for excellent imaging and particle identification ability. In this talk the...

    Talk
    On the way toward massive Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber (LAr TPC) detectors for future generation long baseline neutrino experiments, a "physics R&D'' phase is in act: the ArgoNeuT detector (175 l of LAr active volume) is now going to be exposed on-axis to the NuMI beam at Fermilab, in front of the MINOS Near Detector. By taking measurements in the 0.1 to 10 GeV energy range, ArgoNeuT...
