Abstract
We describe the signals from a neutrino factory beam in an ICARUS/NOE-like detector. We discuss the detection of (a) nu(e) --> nu(mu) and (b) nu(e) -- > nu(tau) and the backgrounds. Wrong-sign leptons from various deep inelast ic neutrino processes will not be serious for (a) but may limit the detecti on of (b) depending on the oscillation amplitude.
