h2. Overview

MAUS (MICE Analysis User Software) is the "MICE project's":http://mice.iit.edu tracking, detector reconstruction and accelerator physics analysis framework. MAUS is designed to fulfil a number of functions for physicists interested in studying MICE data:

* Model the behaviour of particles traversing MICE

* Model the MICE detector's electronics response to particles

* Perform pattern recognition to reconstruct particle trajectories from electronics output

* Provide a framework for high level accelerator physics analysis

* Provide online diagnostics during running of MICE

In addition to MAUS's role within MICE, the code is also used for generic accelerator development, in particular for the Neutrino Factory.
