MOP022	The Expected Performance of MICE Step IV	151

	Funding: STFC The international Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment (MICE), under construction at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in Oxfordshire (UK), is a test of a prototype cooling channel for a future Neutrino Factory. The experiment aims to achieve, using liquid hydrogen absorbers, a 10% reduction in transverse emittance, measured to an accuracy of 1% by two scintillating fibre trackers within 4 T solenoid fields. Step IV of MICE will begin in 2012, producing the experiment's first cooling measurements. Step IV uses an absorber focus coil module, placed between the two trackers, to house liquid hydrogen or solid absorbers. The performance of Step IV using various absorber materials was simulated. Multiple scattering in high Z absorbers was found to mismatch the beam with the lattice optics, which was largely corrected by re-tuning the MICE lattice accordingly.
