Experimental Nuclear and Subnuclear Physics: MICE
A neutrino factory based on a muon storage ring may be the ultimate tool for studies of neutrino oscillations, including possibly leptonic CP violation. It is also the first step towards μ+μ- colliders. This new line of accelerators relies on muons cooling techniques. MICE wants to test the concept of muon ionization cooling building a working prototipe. The MICE experiment is followed by an international collaboration using the proton accelerator at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL), Oxfordshire, United Kingdom. The Italian side of the MICE collaboration is financed by the Instituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare (INFN). The Pavia group cooperate very closely with the Milano Bicocca one and develops software, designs, builts and maintains the MICE Time Of Flight (TOF) detectors.
