In the Muon Ion­iza­tion Cool­ing Ex­per­i­ment (MICE), muons are cooled by pass­ing through ma­te­ri­al and then through RF cav­i­ties to com­pen­sate for the en­er­gy loss, which re­duces the trans­verse emit­tance. In ad­di­tion to demon­strat­ing the trans­verse emit­tance re­duc­tion using flat solid ab­sorbers, it is also planned to demon­strate lon­gi­tu­di­nal emit­tance re­duc­tion via emit­tance ex­change in MICE by using a solid wedge-shaped ab­sorber in MICE Step IV. The cur­rent sta­tus of the sim­u­la­tion and de­sign ef­fort for both flat and wedge-shaped solid ab­sorbers is sum­ma­rized.
