Description
The International Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment (MICE) will carry out
a systematic investigation of ionization cooling of a muon beam, for the
future Neutrino Factory and the Muon Collider. As the emittance measurement
will be done on a particle-by-particle basis, a sophisticated beam
instrumentation is needed to measure both particle coordinates and timing
vs RF in a harsh environment due to high particle rates, fringe magnetic
fields and RF backgrounds. A PID system, based on three x/y time-of-flight
stations (with resolutions around 50 ps), two Aerogel Cerenkov counters and
a KLOE-like calorimeter (KL) has been constructed and has allowed the
commissioning of the MICE muon beamline.
PID detector performances will be shown and their use for a preliminary
estimate of the beamline emittance and the MICE muon beam pion contamination
will be illustrated.
