Muon ionization cooling provides the only practical solution to prepare high-brilliance beams necessary for a neutrino factory or muon collider. The Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment (MICE), under development at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, is installing the first set of particle detectors ever built to measure to 0.1% the emittance of a 200 MeV/c or so muon beam in and out of a cooling cell, and thus measure the cooling cell's performance. Two identical "emittometers" (a precise scintillating-fiber tracker in solenoidal magnetic field and a 50 ps time-of-flight station) measure the six phase-space coordinates of each muon. Another TOF plane and two Cherenkov counters assure the purity of the incoming muon beam. A downstream electron/muon calorimeter eliminates contamination from decay electrons.
