Description
A liquid argon time projection chamber (LAr-TPC) working as an electronic bubblechamber, continuously sensitive, self-triggering, able to provide 3-D imaging of any ionizing event together with a good calorimetric response was first proposed by Rubbia in 1977. In the following years experiments were undertaken to verify the feasibility of such a detector. At present a 3 tons complete detector is working at CERN under stable conditions from several months.
