abstract = {{It is anticipated that high brightness muon beams will be used primarily in two types of accelerators, a muon collider and a neutrino factory. The primary challenge posed by using muons as the working particle of an accelerator physics system, and the reason it has not been used extensively in modern particle physics experiments, is its short life-time (2.2μseconds at rest) and the relatively long cooling periods required by current cooling techniques. The Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment (MICE), is a multi-national accelerator physics initiative which has demonstrated Ionization Cooling (IC); a new, rapid beam-cooling technique suitable for the short-lived muon. The performance of IC depends on two key processes - energy loss due to collisional ionization, and Multiple Coulomb Scattering (MCS) - for which accurate models are crucial in parametrizing the method and enabling quantitative design of future muon accelerators. Experimental measurements of MCS of positive straight-track muons with momenta in the range 170-240 MeV/c in liquid H₂ are reported in this study.}},
