Description
The success of the bubble chamber in high energy physics was due to two fundamental characteristics: (1) it provided a massive target (2) with complete imaging and reconstruction of the events. In this context, the Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber can be considered as a modern fully electronic bubble chamber. In this talk, we review the developments that led to the ICARUS T600 detector.
