The MICE collaboration proposes to install a Muon Ionisation Cooling Experiment at the ISIS facility, at Rutherford Appleton Laboratory. This experiment will be the first demonstration of ionisation cooling as a means to reduce the large transverse emittance of the muon beam, produced during the early stages of a neutrino factory. In order to permit a realistic demonstration of cooling, a source of muons must be produced, possessing particular qualities, notably in emittance and momenta. This paper describes the present design for the muon beamline source, and the plans for its implementation at RAL.
