A workshop was held at Fermilab on March 20-21, 2013 to discuss the development of liquid argon time projection chambers (LArTPCs) in the United States. The workshop was organized under the auspices of the Coordinating Panel for Advanced Detectors, a body that was initiated by the American Physical Society Division of Particles and Fields. All presentations at the workshop were made in seven topical plenary sessions: i ) Argon Purity, ii ) Cryogenics, iii ) TPC and High Voltage, iv ) Electronics, Data Acquisition and Triggering, v ) Scintillation Light Detection, vi ) Calibration and Test Beams, and vii ) Software. This document summarizes the current efforts in each of these areas. It also highlights areas in LArTPC research and development that are common between neutrino experiments and dark matter experiments.
