International Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment

The International Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment (or MICE) is a high energy physics experiment dedicated to finding an efficient method to focus a beam of muons. As of 2004, MICE is in simulation, although much of the design has also been completed. Technically speaking, the aim is to reduce the emittance of a beam of muons, using a combination of solenoids, RF cavities, and most importantly, absorbers. The absorbers do the real work, reducing the emittance by a process known as ionization cooling; the solenoids and RF cavities are necessary for containing the beam and restoring energy lost in the absorbers, respectively. A tightly focused muon beam could be used in a neutrino factory; in fact, this is a primary goal of MICE. Compare to: MUCOOL
