Abstract

I will present results from the first exposure of a liquid Ar time 
projection chamber to a neutrino beam. The data have been collected in 
1997 with a 50 liter ICARUS-like chamber located between the CHORUS and 
NOMAD experiment at the CERN West Area Neutrino Facility. We focus on the 
analysis of quasi-elastic interactions; despite the limited size of the 
detector, nuclear effects beyond Fermi motion and Pauli blocking have been 
observed as perturbations to the pure quasi-elastic kinematics.
