The cryogenic and purification systems of the ICARUS T600 detector installation at Fermilab.

Summary

The cryogenic and purification systems are installed to support operations of the ICARUS T600 detector in the Booster and NuMI neutrino beams at Fermilab for the search of sterile neutrinos and measurements of neutrino-argon cross sections. The ICARUS T600 detector is made of four large Time Projection Chambers installed in two separate vessels of about 275 m3 each. The detector uses liquid argon both as target and as active media. The liquid argon vessels, the thermal insulation and the cryogenic equipment have been completely re-designed and rebuilt, following the schemes of the previous installation in Gran Sasso (Italy). The cryogenic and purification systems, including the argon and nitrogen external storage, the circulation, distribution, purification and condenser equipment as well as the cold vessel thermal shields, gas collection and dedicated controls, were completely re-designed, built, installed and tested with contributions from CERN, Fermilab and INFN.
