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 |

fields and RF backgrounds. A PID system, based on three x/y time-of-flight |

PID detector performances will be shown and their use for a preliminary |

estimate of the beamline emittance and the MICE muon beam pion contamination |
28 |
will be illustrated. |
