Description
The PID instrumentation of the MICE experiment at RAL, to be used to demonstrate muon cooling, is presented. It must provide good PID capabilities, to contribute to a high precision emittance measurement, in a harsh environment with high incoming particle rates, not-uniform fringe magnetic fields and high backgrounds. It is based mainly on a TOF system, CKOV counters and a downstream calorimeter. Design choices for the detector construction will be illustrated. The performances obtained in the first characterization of the MICE muon beamline will be presented.
