The Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment (MICE) is an accelerator and particle physics experiment aimed at demonstrating the technique of ionization cooling on a beam of muons. The transverse phase space will be measured by two identical trackers comprised of 5 measurement stations of scintillating fibre inside a 4T solenoid. Both trackers have been assembled and tested using cosmic rays and will be installed in the MICE hall at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in 2010. The design, construction and results from cosmic ray testing of both trackers are presented. |
