	Funding: Work is supported by the Science and Technology Facilities Council and the U.S. Department of Energy. In the Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment (MICE), muons are cooled by passing through material and then through RF cavities to compensate for the energy loss, which reduces the transverse emittance. In addition to demonstrating the transverse emittance reduction using flat solid absorbers, it is also planned to demonstrate longitudinal emittance reduction via emittance exchange in MICE by using a solid wedge-shaped absorber in MICE Step IV. The current status of the simulation and design effort for both flat and wedge-shaped solid absorbers is summarized.

	The international Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment (MICE), under construction at RAL, will test and characterize a prototype cooling channel for a future Neutrino Factory or Muon Collider. The cooling channel aims to achieve, using liquid hydrogen absorbers, a 10% reduction in transverse emittance. The change in 4D emittance will be determined with a relative accuracy of 1% by measuring muons individually. These include two scintillating fibre trackers embedded within 4 T solenoid fields, TOF counters and a muon ranger. Step IV of MICE will begin in 2012, producing the experiment's first precise emittance-reduction measurements. Multiple scattering in candidate Step IV absorber materials was studied in G4MICE, based on GEANT4. Equilibrium emittances for low-Z materials from hydrogen to aluminium can be studied experimentally in Step IV of MICE, and compared with simulations.
