Description

GLACIER is a proposed giant liquid argon multi-purpose next-generation underground neutrino observatory, possibly scalable to an active mass of 100 kton, optimal for ultimate long baseline neutrino oscillation studies, nucleon decay searches and for the detection of known or unknown astrophysical neutrinos. It is one of the three detector options considered in the European FP7 design studies LAGUNA and LAGUNA-LBNO.
