New International Initiative on Muon Ionization Cooling

这项研究的目的是首次演示Muon电离冷却方法，并建立基本技术。在介子电离冷却过程中，介子通过能量吸收材料，然后平行于束轴加速。通过重复这个过程几次，Muon束变得更平行于束轴，它被冷却。为了进行实验演示，成立了一个名为MICE的国际研究合作组织，并正在英国卢瑟福·阿普尔顿实验室进行实验。其目标是测量电离冷却效应并获得所需的知识。

The purpose of this research is to demonstrate the muon ionization cooling method for the first time and to establish the basic techniques. In the muon ionization cooling, muons pass through energy-absorbing material and then are accelerated parallel to the beam axis. By repeating this process several times, a muon beam becomes more parallel to the beam axis, and it is cooled. For experimental demonstration, an international research collaboration called MICE was formed and is carrying out its experiment at Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in the UK. The goal is to measure an ionization cooling effect and obtain required knowledge.
