The International Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment (MICE) will carry out |
4 |
a systematic investigation of ionization cooling of a muon beam, for the |
5 |
future Neutrino Factory and the Muon Collider. As the emittance measurement |
6 |
will be done on a particle-by-particle basis, a sophisticated beam |
7 |
instrumentation is needed to measure both particle coordinates and timing |
8 |
vs RF in a harsh environment due to high particle rates, fringe magnetic |
9 |
fields and RF backgrounds. A PID system, based on three x/y time-of-flight |
10 |
stations (with resolutions around 50 ps), two Aerogel Cerenkov counters and |
11 |
a KLOE-like calorimeter (KL) has been constructed and has allowed the |
12 |
commissioning of the MICE muon beamline. |
13 |
PID detector performances will be shown and their use for a preliminary |
14 |
estimate of the beamline emittance and the MICE muon beam pion contamination |
15 |
will be illustrated. |
