Scientific paper

Muon cooling represents an essential component of a Neutrino Factory. The short muon lifetime makes it impossible to employ traditional cooling techniques to reduce the muon beam emittance while maintaining its intensity. Therefore a new concept, ionization cooling, has been developed specifically for muons. It will be tested for the first time in the international Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment (MICE), by placing a short section of a realistic cooling channel in a muon beam at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL) and measuring its performance. The layout of MICE, its instrumentation and implementation at RAL are described, together with a discussion of the predicted performance and current status of this experiment.
