  The Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment will make detailed measurements of muon ionization cooling using a new constructed low-energy muon beam at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory. The experiment is a single-particle experiment and utilizes many detector techniques from High-Energy Physics experiments. To characterize and monitor the muon beam line, newly developed scintillating fiber profile monitors will employed. In order to monitor the purity of the beam and tag the arrival time of individual muons, a dual Aerogel Cerenkov system and a plastic scintillator time-of-flight system will be used. The 4-momenta of the muons will be measured by two identical spectrometer systems (one before and one after the cooling apparatus) which employ a fiber tracker that utilizes 350 micron diameter scintillator fiber. An additional time-of-flight system and electron and muon calorimeters are used to tag outgoing muons. We will discuss the design of the MICE diagnostic systems, the operation and give the first results from beam measurements in the MICE experimental hall.
