1
The MICE beamline instrumentation (trackers and PID) 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 time-of-flight stations (with
9
resolutions up to 50-60 ps), two Aerogel Cerenkov counters and a KLOE-like
10
calorimeter (KL) has been constructed and has allowed the commissioning of the
11
MICE muon beamline in 2010. It will be soon followed  by an
12
Electron Muon Ranger to determine the muon range at the apparatus  downstream 
13
end and later by two tracker detectors to trace incoming particles inside two
14
high-field  superconducting solenoids.
15
Detector performances will be shown and their use for the beamline
16
characterization fully illustrated.
