	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.
