The experiment is being built in a series of Steps. Step IV, which consists of a tracking spectrometer upstream and downstream of an absorber/focus-coil (AFC) module will be completed in early in 2015. In this configuration, the emittance of the muon beam upstream and downstream of the absorber will be measured precisely allowing the emittance reduction and the factors that determine the ionization cooling effect to be studied in detail. The AFC module is a 22 liter volume of liquid hydrogen placed inside a superconducting focusing coil. The properties of lithium hydride, and possibly other absorber materials, will also be studied. All the components of Step IV have been manufactured and integration of the experiment in the MICE Hall at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory is underway. A full study of ionization cooling will be carried out with Step V, which will include a short 201 MHz linac module in which beam transport is achieved with a superconducting “coupling coil”. The status of the preparation of the components of Step V of the experiment will be described briefly.
