The Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment (MICE) is an international effort sited at Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL) in the UK that will demonstrate ionization cooling in a section of realistic cooling channel using a muon beam. The spectrometer solenoids are an identical pair of five-coil superconducting magnets that will provide a 4-tesla uniform field region at each end of the cooling channel. Scintillating fiber trackers within each of the 400-mm diameter magnet bore tubes will measure the emittance of the beam as it enters and exits the cooling channel. Each of the 3-meter long magnets incorporates a three-coil spectrometer magnet section and a two-coil section that matches the solenoid uniform field into the MICE cooling channel. The cold mass, radiation shield and leads are kept cold by means of a series of two-stage cryocoolers and one single-stage cryocooler. Various thermal, electrical and magnetic analyses are being carried out in order to develop design improvements related to magnet cooling and reliability. The key features of the spectrometer solenoid magnets are presented along with some of the details of the analyses.

We describe the recent progress on the design and fabrication of the RFCC (RF and Coupling Coil) module for the international Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment (MICE). The MICE cooling channel has two RFCC modules; each has four 201-MHz normal conducting RF cavities and one superconducting solenoid magnet. The magnet is designed to be cooled by three cryocoolers. Fabrication of the RF cavities is complete; design and fabrication of the magnets are in progress. The first magnet is expected to be finished by the end of 2011.
