The Muon Ionisation Cooling Experiment (MICE) is being constructed at Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in the UK. A muon beam will be cooled through a process of absorption using hydrogen absorbers and acceleration using 200MHz copper RF cavities. This paper describes the RF power source used to accelerate the muon beam, testing of the high voltage power supplies and amplifiers to date and progress on the RF distribution scheme to the accelerating cavities.

The Electron Model for Many Applications (EMMA) will be the World's first non-scaling FFAG and is under construction at the STFC Daresbury Laboratory in the UK. Construction is due for completion in March 2010 and will be followed by commissioning with beam and a detailed experimental programme to study the functioning of this type of accelerator. This paper will give an overview of the motivation for the project and describe the EMMA design and hardware. The first results from commissioning will be presented in a separate paper.
