ArgoNeuT液氩时间投影室在费米实验室NuMI束线的延长运行期间收集了数千个中微子和反中微子事件。本文重点介绍了探测器的主要布局和相关技术特点，包括低温设备、时间投影室、读出电子学和离线数据处理。探测器调试阶段，物理运行，和第一中微子事件显示也报告。在数据采集过程中，电离电子漂移速度和寿命在液氩中，从通过去μ介子数据获得的检测器的主要工作参数的表征完成本报告。
The ArgoNeuT liquid argon time projection chamber has collected thousands of neutrino and anti-neutrino events during an extended run period in the NuMI beam-line at Fermilab. This paper focuses on the main aspects of the detector layout and related technical features, including the cryogenic equipment, time projection chamber, read-out electronics, and off-line data treatment. The detector commissioning phase, physics run, and first neutrino event displays are also reported. The characterization of the main working parameters of the detector during data-taking, the ionization electron drift velocity and lifetime in liquid argon, as obtained from through-going muon data complete the present report.
