2 |
The International Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment (MICE) will carry out |
3 |
a systematic investigation of ionization cooling of a muon beam, for the |
4 |
future Neutrino Factory and the Muon Collider. |
5 |
As the emittance measurement will be done on a particle-by-particle basis, |
6 |
a sophisticated beam instrumentation is needed to measure both particle |
7 |
coordinates and timing vs RF in a harsh environment due to high particle |
8 |
rates, fringe magnetic fields and RF backgrounds. |

|
10 |
A PID system, based on three time-of-flight stations (with resolutions up |
11 |
to 50 ps), two Aerogel Cerenkov counters and a KLOE-like calorimeter (KL) |
12 |
has been constructed and has allowed the commissioning of the MICE muon |
13 |
beamline in 2010. It will be followed in 2012 by an Electron Muon Ranger |
14 |
to determine the muon range at its downstream end and later by two tracker |
15 |
detectors to trace incoming particles inside two high-field |
16 |
superconducting solenoids. |
17 |
Detector performances will be shown and their use for the beamline |
18 |
characterization fully illustrated. |
