Description
The Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment (MICE) has measured the evolution of beam emittance due to ionization
cooling. A muon beam is focused by a large aperture solenoid onto an absorber ( Lithium
hydride or liquid hydrogen). Detectors are placed upstream and downstream
of the focus, enabling the phase space coordinates of each muons to be reconstructed and
the change in beam emittance of ensembles of muons to be measured.
Data taken during 2016 and 2017 are currently under study to evaluate the change in emittance due to the
absorber for muon beams with various initial emittances, momenta, and settings of the magnetic lattice. Simulations
have been used to estimate the regimes in which heating and cooling are expected and to evaluate
the equilibrium emittance, at which neither heating nor cooling is observed. The results of the simulations
have been compared to the measured emittance changes. The current status and the most recent results of
these analyses will be presented
