The University of California Riverside and University of New Hampshire groups are part of an international effort to develop and evaluate technologies relevant to a muon based neutrino source. The research project focuses particularly on the International Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment (MICE), including beam emittance measurement and instrumentation for muon beams of large emittance. The team will participate in the hardware and software development, commissioning, operation, and data analysis of tracking detectors employed upstream and downstream of the MICE cooling channel set up at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory to determine the reduction in emittance (cooling). One of the significant aspects of this program is the possibility for students, both undergraduate and graduate, to become involved in forefront accelerator physics research at universities.

加州大学河滨分校（University of California Riverside）和新罕布什尔大学（University of New Hampshire）的研究小组参与了一项开发和评估基于介子的中微子源相关技术的国际努力。本项目重点研究国际μ子电离冷却实验（MICE），包括光束发射度测量和大发射度μ子光束的仪器仪表。该团队将参与在卢瑟福阿普尔顿实验室建立的MICE冷却通道上游和下游采用的跟踪探测器的硬件和软件开发，调试，操作和数据分析，以确定发射度（冷却）的减少。这个项目的一个重要方面是学生，无论是本科生还是研究生，都有可能参与到大学的前沿加速器物理研究中来。
