First CRT Track Reconstruction at ICARUS

ORAL

Abstract

The ICARUS detector is the largest liquid argon TPC presently operating in a neutrino beam in the world. Since the detector is operated on the surface there is a large component of the background generated by Cosmic Rays. The Cosmic Ray Tagger (CRT) allows us to tag incoming tracks made by cosmic events. In this talk I will discuss the first track reconstructions done by the CRT and the implications for background suppression, its impact on the overall background rates and tagging efficiency.
