Contribution

It provides detailed measurements of detector performance and absorber properties during the MICE experiment, supporting the feasibility of ionization cooling for muon beams.

Findings

01

Detectors accurately measured muon beam parameters.

02

03

Results support the viability of ionization cooling techniques.

Abstract

Muon beams of low emittance provide the basis for the intense, well-characterised neutrino beams of a neutrino factory and for multi-TeV lepton-antilepton collisions at a muon collider. The international Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment (MICE) has demonstrated the principle of ionization cooling, the technique by which it is proposed to reduce the phase-space volume occupied by the muon beam at such facilities. This paper documents the performance of the detectors used in MICE to measure the muon-beam parameters, and the physical properties of the liquid hydrogen energy absorber during running.
