Abstract
The ICARUS T600 detector is the largest Liquid Argon Time-Projection-Chamber (LAr-TPC) operated to date. It performed a successful three-year physics run at the underground LNGS laboratories, studying neutrino oscillations with the CNGS neutrino beam from CERN, and searching for atmospheric neutrino interactions in cosmic rays. After an intense refurbishing operation, the entire apparatus has been transferred to FNAL (USA), where it will become the far detector of the Short Baseline Neutrino (SBN) program to investigate the possible presence of sterile neutrino states. The T600 detector underwent a significant overhauling process at CERN, introducing new technological developments while at the same time maintaining the already achieved performance. In this contribution, the main activities of the refurbishing operation are described, highlighting the major changes which will affect the ICARUS T600 physics run in the United States
