	Funding: Supported in part by DOE STTR grant DE-FG02-08ER86350 Operating a high gradient radio frequency cavity embedded in a strong magnetic field is an essential requirement for muon beam cooling. However, a magnetic field influences the maximum RF gradient due to focusing of dark current in the RF cavity. This problem is suppressed by filling the RF cavity with dense hydrogen gas. As the next step, we plan to explore the beam loading effect in the high pressure cavity by using a 400 MeV kinetic energy proton beam in the MuCool Test Area at Fermilab. We discuss the experimental setup and instrumentation.

MOP037	Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment: Controls and Monitoring	166
	P.M. Hanlet IIT, Chicago, Illinois, USA
	Funding: NSF The Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment (MICE) is a demonstration experiment to prove the viability of cooling a beam of muons for use in a Neutrino Factory and Muon Collider. The MICE cooling channel is a section of a modified Study II cooling channel which will provide a 10% reduction in beam emittance. In order to ensure a reliable measurement, we intend to measure the beam emittance before and after the cooling channel at the level of 1%, or an absolute measurement of 0.001. This renders MICE as a precision experiment which requires strict controls and monitoring of all experimental parameters in order to control systematic errors. The MICE Controls and Monitoring system is based on EPICS and integrates with the DAQ, detector, environment, and data monitoring systems. A description of this system, its implementation, and performance during recent muon beam data collection will be discussed.
