The Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment (MICE) was designed to demonstrate a measurable reduction in beam emittance due to ionization cooling. The emittance of a variety of muon beams was reconstructed before and after a 'cooling cell', allowing the change in the phase-space distribution due to the presence of an absorber to be measured. The core of the MICE experiment is a cooling cell that can contain a range of solid and cryogenic absorbers inside a focussing solenoid magnet. For the data described here, a single lithium hydride (LiH) absorber was installed and two different emittance beam have been analysed. Distributions that demonstrate emittance increase and equilibrium have been reconstructed, in agreement with theoretical predictions. Data taken during 2016 and 2017 is currently being analysed to evaluate the change in emittance with a range of absorber materials, different initial emittance beams and various magnetic lattice settings. The current status and the most recent results of these analyses is presented.

  The Nuclotron-based Ion Collider fAcility (NICA) project is under development at JINR. The first and general goal of the project is experimental study of both hot and dense baryonic matter to search for so-called Mixed Phase formation in collisions of heavy relativistic ions. The second goal is spin physics (in collisions of polarized protons and deuterons). The project NICA is developed in three stages. 1st stage, "The Baryonic Matter at Nuclotron", is a fixed target experiment with ions accelerated in the linac and two SC synchrotrons - the Booster and the Nuclotron up to kinetic energy of 4.5 GeV/u (the Centre mass system energy ECMS up to 3.45 GeV/u). The Booster has an electron cooler of the electron energy up to 50 keV. The 2nd stage extends the ECMS from 4 to 11 GeV/u in colliding beams' mode. The Collider will be equipped with both stochastic cooling system and double electron one of electron energy of 0.5 - 2.5 MeV, which are being designed and manufactured at the Budker INP. Stage III - Polarized Beams Mode of The Collider is at the level of the conceptual design. We emphasize on beam dynamics in the NICA machines and a necessity of the cooling methods application.
