The Race Track design for the Decay Ring of a Neutrino Factory is studied with the MAD-X code. Optimisation of the working point, study of resonances and of dynamic aperture for several off-momentum cases are presented. An introduction to the problem of beam losses is given.

The Muon Ionisation Cooling Experiment (MICE) at RAL will be the first apparatus to study muon cooling at high precision. Muons are produced along a transport beamline in a super-conducting solenoid via pion decay. The final beam emittance is generated by tuning the quadrupoles for beam size matching. The beam angular divergence is matched in a variable-thickness diffuser, which is a re-entrant mechanism inside the first solenoid, automatically changeable in few minutes from 0 to 4X0. The initial normalized emittance of the beam (few mm rad) will be inflated up to 10 mm rad in order to cover the (eN,P) matrix required by the experiment. Details of beamline tuning are presented.
