Abstract
India-based Neutrino Observatory Collaboration (INO) is planning to set up a 50 kt magnetized iron calorimeter (ICAL) with Resistive Plate Chambers (RPCs) as active detectors to study neutrino oscillations and precisely measure its parameters. Although research and development phase of INO-ICAL is over, however R & D is the backbone of any experimental activity and therefore it will progress along the age of the experiment. The ICAL detector’s slow monitoring and quality control related tools are ready. Current plan is to build a mini-ICAL at IICHEP, Madurai. We are expecting to start tunnel and cavern related work soon after judiciary decision.
