Strategies for cosmogenic background suppression at the ICARUS

ORAL

Abstract

The ICARUS detector will search for LSND like neutrino oscillations exposed at shallow depth to the FNAL BNB beam in the context of the Short Baseline (SBN) program. Cosmic backgrounds rejection is particularly relevant for the ICARUS detector due to its larger size and distance from target compared to short baseline near detector (SBND). In ICARUS the neutrino signal/cosmic background ratio is 40 times more unfavorable with in addition a greater than 3 times larger out-of-spill comics rate. In this talk, I will discuss the techniques for reducing cosmogenic backgrounds in the ICARUS detector.
