The International Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment (MICE) will carry out a |
---|---|
2 |
systematic investigation of ionization cooling of a muon beam, for the future |
3 |
Neutrino Factory and the Muon Collider. As the emittance measurement will be |
4 |
done on a particle-by-particle basis, a sophisticated beam instrumentation is |
5 |
needed to measure both particle coordinates and timing vs RF in a harsh |
6 |
environment due to high particle rates, fringe magnetic fields and RF |
7 |
backgrounds. A PID system, based on three time-of-flight stations (with |
8 |
resolutions up to 50-60 ps), two Aerogel Cerenkov counters and a KLOE-like |
9 |
calorimeter (KL) has been constructed and has allowed the commissioning of the |
10 |
MICE muon beamline in 2010. It will be soon followed by an Electron Muon Ranger |
11 |
to determine the muon range at the apparatus downstream |
12 |
end and later by two tracker detectors to trace incoming particles inside two |
13 |
high-field superconducting solenoids. Detector performances will be shown and |
14 |
their use for the beamline characterization fully illustrated. |
