Abstract

In this paper we give a short review of liquid argon detectors for neutrino physics. We will first introduce noble liquid detectors with particular emphasis on liquid argon and detectors of the time projection chamber variety, and we will explain why liquid argon detectors are good for neutrino physics, in particular the measurement of the mixing angle θ₁₃, CP-violating phase δ_CP and determination of the mass hierarchy through ν_e appearance on a ν_μ beam. We will stress what we consider the main achievements and the main challenges facing liquid argon detectors for neutrino physics.
