10% cooling of 200 MeV/c muons requires ~ 20 MV of RF single particle measurements =>

measurement precision can be as good as out/ in ) = 10-3

never done before either…


Challenges of MICE: (these things have never been done before)

1. Operate RF cavities of relatively low frequency (201 MHz) at high gradient (16 MV/m) in highly inhomogeneous magnetic fields (1-3 T)

dark currents (can heat up LH2), breakdowns

2. Hydrogen safety (substantial amounts of LH2 in vicinity of RF cavities)

3. Emittance measurement to relative precision of 10-3 in environment of RF bkg

requires low mass and precise tracker low multiple scattering redundancy to fight dark-current-induced background excellent immunity to RF noise complete set of PID detectors

And…

4. Obtaining funding for R&D towards a facility that is not (yet) in the plans of a major lab

2010 will be a time of major decisions in particle physics

LHC will be completed first results will appear

ILC first results fromMINOS, Operadouble-CHOOZ &other reactor expts.might be available. T2K starting

It will be time for the next step in neutrino physics!

It will be important thatpractical feasibility of ionization cooling be demonstrated.

TOF and downstream PID

TOF is constituted of double layer of 4X40 cm scintillator each layer expected to yield 70 ps resolution, double layer will measure resolutionscintillator and tubes for TOF0 have been bought for test at the Frascati BTF in june 2006

MICE Proposal: Cherenkov + Calorimeter

Cherenkov2 could not be funded --> what would be performance without Cherenkov? good enough with a SANDWICH CALORIMETER ALONEsimulations show 99.9% efficiency at >99.8% purity for all momenta in MICE stepVI --> will undergo change control procedure (check with non-flip mode)test in July 2006 with small calorimeter

Much more to be learned by full simulationand muon-by-muon analysis


Step IV:

need Absorber + Focus Coil module!

SAFETY REVIEW was passed-- some actions left for MICE *)

“The Panel is impressed by the serious way in which the MICE collaboration is approaching safety issues and was pleased to note the excellent progress made since the last review in December 2003.Our overall impression, based on the presentations, is that there are no serious safety issues that have not been addressed.

*) in particular Hazop analysis will be performed by external consultants


PHASE II Funding

MICE note 137

1. RAL has released 100k£ from project sponsor (PPD director) ‘tracker’ items redistributed towards Spectrometer solenoids(swaps with US, Japan)2. Collaboration with D0 on tracker electronics

2. MRI proposal to NSF for a coupling coil (for MUCOOL)and NFMCC/MUCOOL has made a request to DOE for the same.

3. We tried CH for CC, plan to include ‘MICE completion’ in EU funding bids (FP7)efforts towards RFCC module in UK (Cockcroft institute+Lancaster U.)

MZ MUTAC05 revised GOAL

4. RF seems OK:*** 201 MHz RF cavity ***! + RF source from LBNL -->Daresbury + RF source from CERN


1. Publications Since June 2005 MICE has a Editorial Board (Chair Dan Kaplan) Tracking of historical publications is difficult, but at least 20 referreed journal publications were counted in winter 2005. 7 abstracts accepted at EPAC2006

2. Students We are coming to the point where data and experimental results will come at a high rate.

--> This is a great time for PhD students!

They already ‘took over the software projects’ Play a high role in detector tests (KEK beam test --> Frascati test)

MICE is relatively short of manpower!


An important credit:

The US developed the first credible concepts for both the muon collider and the neutrino factory through the pioneering work, in particular, of David Neuffer, Robert Palmer and Steve Geer, as well as through two detailed feasibility studies.

The concept of the MICE cooling cells is based upon the US Study II, and the actual magnetic layout of the experiment is the result of Robert Palmer’s ideas.

US groups have provided the lion’s share of the R&D work for the cooling channel modules so far, and have also been actively involved in developing the beam line optics, the overall simulation of the experiment, and the tracker. The construction and first operation of the MICE-compatible 201-MHz RF cavity prototype is a great MICE milestone!

In addition, our US colleagues have already shipped to RAL parts for two 201-MHz RF power sources that should, after refurbishment, provide half of the RF needs of the experiment.

The planning prepared by NFMCC provides MICE with a US contribution to the MICE magnet system that will allow the US collaborators to play the role they rightly deserve. This contribution is vital for the success of the experiment!
