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