1
The MICE beamline PID instrumentation for a precise emittance measurement.

3
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

stations (with resolutions around 50 ps), two

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

will be illustrated.
