  The Muon Ionisation Cooling Experiment (MICE) aims to demonstrate the transverse cooling of muons for a possible future Neutrino Factory or Muon Collider. The diffuser is an integral part of the MICE cooling channel. It aims to inflate the emittance of the incoming beam such that cooling can later be measured in the MICE channel. A novel new diffuser design is currently in development at Oxford, consisting of a high density scatterer of variable radiation lengths. Simulations have been carried out in order to fully understand the physics processes involved with the new diffuser design and to enable a proper matching of the beam to the MICE channel.
