Description
The 760 ton ICARUS T600 detector performed a successful three-year physics
run at the underground LNGS laboratories studying neutrino oscillations with
the CNGS neutrino beam from CERN, and searching for atmospheric neutrino
interactions. ICARUS performed a sensitive search for LSND like anomalous $\nu_e$
appearance in the CNGS beam, which contributed to constrain the allowed
parameters to a narrow region around $\Delta$m$^2$ $\sim$ eV$^2$ , where all the experimental results can be coherently accommodated at 90% C.L. After a significant
overhauling at CERN, the T600 detector has now been placed in its experimental
hall at Fermilab. It will be soon exposed to the Booster Neutrino Beam to search
for sterile neutrino within the SBN program, devoted to definitively clarify the
open questions of the presently observed neutrino anomalies.
The proposed contribution will address ICARUS achievements, its status and
plans for the new run and the ongoing analyses also finalized to the next physics
run at Fermilab.
