    • Configuration Database

      The Configuration Database provides a web service interface to the underlying database. It is made up of a number of components:
      Alarm Handler, Beamline, Cabling, Calibration, Control, Geometry, Target and State Machine

      A Python client has been provided to access the web service, Python API...

    • Control and Monitoring

      Controls and monitoring of the detector is done in EPICS.

    • G4MICE

      G4MICE is the MICE project's tracking, detector reconstruction and accelerator physics analysis framework. G4MICE is designed to fulfil a number of functions:

      • Model the behaviour of particles traversing MICE
      • Model the MICE detector's electronics response to particles...
    • MAUS

      MAUS is a modular data analysis package meant to create a framework in which various MICE software functionality can communicate. For instance, simulating events and reconstructing events are related but logically different since one may also want to reconstruct real data. MAUS tries to create a simulation dataflow similar to the data that comes out of the DAQ in order to create software that more accurate predicts what MICE data should look like while also allowing for easy yet modular in-depth systematic studies....

    • Online

      The MICE Online Group (MOG) creates, maintains, and ensures proper use of all tools (hardware, software, documentation) within the MLCR (MICE Local Control Room and Rack Room) that allow the experiment to efficiently record high quality data. We are responsible for Data Acquisition (DAQ), Controls and Monitoring (C&M), Online Monitoring and Reconstruction, Data Transfer, Networking, and MLCR Computing. We also interface closely with systems related to the Online sector including MICE Operations, Offline Software, and Computing. ...

    • Executive Board

      The executive board of MICE contains:

    • Operations

      The Operations Working Group is responsible for running the MICE experiment and taking data which facilitates an understanding of the muon beam and ultimately results in the measurement of muon cooling. These responsibilities include maintaining and operating the MICE target, beam line magnets, particle detectors, and the data acquisition system. The Operations Group maintains close ties with the Online Group in order to understand, improve and make use of tools including the controls and monitoring systems for each part of the MICE experiment, checks of data quality and detector function, and networking within the MLCR. The Operations Group also develops and implements appropriate training regimes for members of MICE on shift and beam line experts (BLOCs). The MICE Operations Manager (MOM) is the leader of the group and is responsible for the daily functioning of the experiment, preparation for future stages, and the safety and training of MICE personnel at the experiment....

    • x-boa

      A multiparticle tracking postprocessor library for accelerator physicsists. You've got GPT running, or your favourite tracking code, what now? This package is a post-processor for taking beam data to calculate beam emittance, Twiss functions, etc. Also includes bindings to plotting packages ROOT and matplotlib, and a whole lot more!...
