The MICE Muon Ionisation Cooling Experiment: Progress and First Results | |
|
||
| The Muon Ionisation Cooling experiment (MICE) is designed to demonstrate the reduction of the phase-space volume occupied by a muon beam using the ionization-cooling technique, for the first time. This demonstration will be an important step in establishing the feasibility of muon accelerators for particle physics. The emittance of the beam is reduced through ionization as it passes through a cooling cell (or absorber) and is measured before and after the cooling cell using two high-precision scintillating-fibre tracking detectors (Trackers). Each Tracker is immersed in a uniform magnetic field produced by solenoidal spectrometers. The Trackers combined with a suite of other detectors perform the particle identification measurements. MICE is is now taking data at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in the UK. The design, hardware, status and first results from the MICE experiment are presented here. | ||
