13 March 2006Cryodet workshop4 ICARUS 10m 3 prototype  The module :  ~ 10m 3 of LAr (14 tons).  TPC ( 2.00m (w) x 3.26m (h) x 0.35m( l)  drift length) with two read-out planes: two independent representations of the ionizing event (and possibility of 3D reconstruction).  2” quartz windowed PMT (EMI 9814BQ) -spectral sensitivity: 160 nm-600 nm- not sensitive to 128 nm LAr scintillation radiation. 128

13 March 2006Cryodet workshop5 Data sample The detector was exposed to cosmic ray flux at surface during a complete test (cryogenics, electronic, acquisition system…) held in the external facility (Hall di Montaggio) of LNGS (January-May 2000). The installation inside the 10m 3 LAr volume of the EMI 9814BQ PMT was designed in order to check any possible light emission phenomena, apart from VUV scintillation emission, accompanying ionization processes. In a limited period during the test run a sub-sample of the collected data have been acquired using the PMT signal as trigger for the detector. In principle, if no visible light emission is registered by the PMT in coincidence with the passage of particles in the liquid, no events are recorded. Indeed, we acquired a large sample of events during this dedicated test, indicating that visible light signals are associated to through-going particles. About 1200 events produced by single penetrating muons have been selected for the present analysis The detector was exposed to cosmic ray flux at surface during a complete test (cryogenics, electronic, acquisition system…) held in the external facility (Hall di Montaggio) of LNGS (January-May 2000).

13 March 2006Cryodet workshop8 Geometrical features of selected tracks (I) The peak position in  distribution means that muons propagating towards the PMT window are strongly favored, i.e. strong directionality (characteristic of Cerenkov radiation) The left-right asymmetry (white histogram) is mainly due to the geographycal location of the detector. The presence of the Gran Sasso massif strongly suppresses the cosmic muon flux with larger values of zenith angles (  >45 0 ) in the region  ~ [200 0,340 0 ]. A cut was applied: only vertical muons are considered (  <45 0 ) to remove asymmetry (yellow histogram). The residual asymmetry is due to the PMT position, not perfectly symmetric with resepect to the wire chamber The peak position in  distribution means that muons propagating towards the PMT window are strongly favored, i.e. strong directionality (characteristic of Cerenkov radiation) The left-right asymmetry (white histogram) is mainly due to the geographycal location of the detector.
