Emittance measurement:• ID muons with time-of-flight• Measure x,y and t at TOF0, TOF1• Use momentum-dependent transfer
matrices to map m path
• Assume straight line path, estimate pz
and iterate to calculate true pz
• Determine trace space at TOF0 & TOF1.- measured pz & transfer matrix M(pz)
An extensive experimental program is planned for 2013, including data taken with variations on the original Step IV configuration.•No absorber: alignment & beam optics• Liquid H2 absorber (full/empty)
• Multiple scattering, Energy Loss g COOLING• Solid absorbers: LiH, Plastic, C, Al, Cu• LiH wedge absorber: emittance exchange

The MICE Method
Ionization Cooling is the only practical solution to preparing high brilliance muon beams for a neutrino factory or muon collider. The Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment (MICE) is under development at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (UK) by an international collaboration. The muon beam line has been commissioned and, for the first time, measurements of beam emittance with particle physics detectors have been performed. The full apparatus is currently under construction. First results with a liquid-hydrogen absorber will be produced in 2015; followed by the operation of a full representative ionization cooling channel cell which will include RF re-acceleration. The design offers opportunities to observe cooling with various absorbers and several optics configurations. Results will be compared with detailed simulations of cooling channel performance to ensure full understanding of the cooling process.
Introduction

A schematic of MICE: the cooling channel & upstream and downstream detectors
Step IV: 2014-15
Fully engineered MICE Cooling Channel Cell Well… some ‘details’ left!
Step VI: Aim 2018Major progress has been made recently in MICE with the successful commissioning of the beam line. First measurements of the m beam emittance have been made using the TOF detectors. Installation of all Step IV components will continue through 2014, followed by the first high precision (0.1%) emittance measurements made in MICE with the fiber trackers (470 mm space point resolution). Finally, world-wide effort continues on the construction of MICE Step VI with a goal of completion in 2018.

Everything works well!• Muon rate ~120 in 2ms spill @ 0.4Hz• TOF resolutions: st = 55, 53, and 50 ps and sx,y ~1 cm• First measurement of emittance made using TOFs.
All Step IV components nearing completion. By 2014, this engineering drawing will be replaced with a photograph!

MICE is a critical R&D experiment on the path toward neutrino factories and muon colliders. With the growing importance of neutrino physics and the possibility of a light Higgs (115-130 GeV), physics could be moving this way soon!
