Cline, D B

We discuss the physics possibilities for the ICARUS detector currently being tested at CERN. The physics potential goes from a massive proton decay detector to the study of solar neutrinos. In addition, the detection of [nu][sub [mu]] [yields] [nu][sub [tau]] and [nu][sub e] [yields] [nu][sub [tau]] will be possible with such a detector. One major topic involves the possibility of a complete determination of the MSW solar neutrino parameters with the ICARUS. The possibility of detecting WIMPS with a scintillating fiber liquid Argon (Ar) detector or fiber Xenon (Xe) detector doped with Ar is also described. Some comments on the measurement of the [sup 42]Ar level from an experiment at the Gran Sasso will be made.
