The MICE experiment aims at demonstrating that the performances of the muon ionization technique are compatible with the requirements of the neutrino factory and the muon collider. The experiment is running at the Rutherford-Appleton Laboratory in the UK using the ISIS proton beam on a dynamic target as a muon source. Brand new target system and muon beam line have been designed, built and installed during the last two years. On the other hand, particle identification detectors needed for the experiment have also been installed and commissioned. This presentation describes how we made use of Time of Flight detectors, aerogel Cherenkov counters and electro-magnetic calorimeter sensors to characterize the content of the MICE beam between 100 and 480 MeV/c.
