The ICARUS detector is based on the Liquid Argon Time projection Chamb er (LAr TPC) technology, that combines the detection features of a bubble chamb er with the advantage of the electronic read-out. The feasibility of large mass LAr TPC has been demonstrated by a full scale 600 ton module (T600), tested in 2001 at surface conditions. The ongoing data analysis confirms that the excellent detector performance observed in small scale prototypes are fully preserved in the 600 ton detector. The way to the ICARUS design goal, 3000 tons of liquid Argon in the Gran Sasso underground Lab oratory, is open. The ICARUS unique imaging and calorimetric capabilities will allow for a rich physics program, covering atmospheric, solar and supernova neutrinos, nucleon decay and LBL neutrino oscillations.
