The Status of MICE Step IV | |
|
||
| Muon beams of low emittance provide the basis for the intense, well-characterised neutrino beams of the Neutrino Factory and for lepton-antilepton collisions at energies of up to several TeV at the Muon Collider. The international Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment (MICE) will demonstrate ionization cooling ' the technique by which it is proposed to reduce the μ-beam phase-space volume. MICE is being constructed in a series of steps. At Step IV, MICE will study the properties of liquid hydrogen and lithium hydride that affect cooling. A solenoidal spectrometer will measure emittance up and downstream of the absorber vessel, where a focusing coil will focus muons. The construction of Step IV at RAL is nearing completion. The status of the project will be described together with a summary of the performance of the principal components. Plans for the commissioning and operation and the Step IV measurement programme will be described. | ||
