Measurement of Muon Cooling with MICE

加州大学滨江和新罕布什尔州大学小组是国际努力的一部分，以开发和评估与μ子中微子源有关的技术。该研究项目特别侧重于国际μ子电离冷却实验，包括束流发射度测量和大发射度μ子束的仪器。该团队将参与硬件和软件的开发，调试，操作和跟踪探测器的数据分析的上游和下游的MICE冷却通道设置在卢瑟福阿普尔顿实验室，以确定减少发射（冷却）。 该计划的重要方面之一是让本科生和研究生都有可能参与大学最前沿的加速器物理研究。

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.
