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.
