Efficient muon cooling requires high RF gradients in the presence of high (~3T) solenoidal fields. The Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment (MICE) also requires that the x-ray production from these cavities is low, in order to minimize backgrounds in the particle detectors that must be located near the cavities. These cavities require thin Be windows to ensure the highest fields on the beam axis. In order to develop these cavities, the MUCOOL RF Program was started about 6 years ago. Initial measurements were made on a six-cell cavity and a single-cell pillbox, both operating at 805 MHz. We have now begun measurements of a 201 MHz pillbox cavity. This program has led to new techniques to look at dark currents, a new model for breakdown and a general model of cavity performance based on surface damage. The experimental program includes studies of thin Be windows, conditioning, dark current production from different materials, magnetic-field effects and breakdown. We will present results from measurements at both 805 and 201 MHz.

In the Muon Ionisation Cooling Experiment (MICE), muons will be fired one by one through one or two cooling cells. The experiment will be used to optimise simulation of an ionisation cooling channel for a future Neutrino Factory. This is achieved by measuring the position of each muon in six-dimensional phase space and examining the behaviour of muons collected into bunches offline. The experiment will be run with a number of different input beams, magnet configurations, RF configurations and absorber types. We present the simulated detector and cooling performance of the MICE cooling channel using the G4MICE simulation code for a range of configurations. We detail the simulation of engineering, field and detector models and examine the implications for the cooling efficacy and measurement.
