  The muon ionization cooling experiment (MICE) is a strategic R&D project intending to demonstrate the only practical solution to prepare high brilliance beams necessary for a neutrino factory or muon colliders. MICE is under development at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (UK). It comprises a dedicated beam line to generate a range of input emittance and momentum, with time-of-flight and Cherenkov detectors to ensure a pure muon beam. The emittance of the incoming beam is measured in the upstream magnetic spectrometer with a sci-fiber tracker. A cooling cell will then follow, alternating energy loss in Li-H absorbers and RF acceleration. A second spectrometer identical to the first and a second muon identification system measure the outgoing emittance. In the 2010 run the beam and most detectors have been fully commissioned and a first measurement of the emittance of a beam with particle physics (time-of-flight) detectors has been performed. The analysis of these data should be completed by the time of the Conference. The next steps of more precise measurements, of emittance and emittance reduction (cooling), that will follow in 2011 and later, will also be outlined.

  Construction of measurement system is presented. The system is based on special magnetic sensor (compass) with a mirror attached to the compass needle. The needle with the mirror are suspended on gimbal suspension and can rotate in two directions. Measuring reflected laser beam deflection one can measure field line straightness with accuracy up to 10-6 rad. The compass is installed inside vacuum volume of the cooling section on special carriage that moves on rail along the section via special tape. To calibrate the compass special test bench was made. The calibration procedure allows to determine and to diminish compass inaccuracy appeared during manufacture and assembling. Results of calibration of the compass on the test bench are presented.
