Description
Charged-particle tracking in the international Muon Ionisation Cooling Experiment (MICE) will be performed using two solenoidal spectrometers, each instrumented with a tracking detector based on 350 micron diameter scintillating fibres. The design and construction of the trackers is described together with a discussion of the quality-assurance procedures adopted. The photon-detection system is presented together with a description of the readout electronics and the data-acquisition system. The reconstruction and simulation software is also described. Finally, the performance of the MICE tracker, determined using cosmic
rays, is presented.
