Conventionally only average properties such as means and variances of charged particle beams are measured. Such a technique is limited in that it is challenging to measure moments beyond the second and certain correlations are difficult to measure. In the Muon Ionisation Cooling Experiment (MICE), the beam rate is sufficiently low that particles pass singly through the accelerator and measurements can be made of the position, time (relative to RF phase) and momentum of individual particles. This makes a number of new analysis tools available. In this paper two particular tools are studied: the analysis of third and higher beam moments and the ability to select an input beam based on such moments.

In a muon acceleration facility such as a Neutrino Factory or Muon Collider, the muons created from pion decay occupy a large volume of phase space. For a good capture efficiency this phase space should be reduced and this is typically achieved using ionisation cooling channels. These are quite expensive but the cost can be reduced by recirculating muons through the cooling hardware. Recirculating a high emittance beam typical of a Neutrino Factory is very challenging if it is to be achieved without significant losses. I describe latest attempts to design a high acceptance recirculator for a muon front end.
