Abstract

Muon beams of low emittance provide the basis for the intense, well characterised neutrino beams of a neutrino factory and for multi-TeV lepton-antilepton collisions at a muon collider. The international Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment (MICE) will demonstrate ionization cooling, the technique by which it is proposed to reduce the phase-space volume occupied by the muon beam. MICE was constructed in a series of steps. Data were taken in 2016 and 2017 in the Step~IV configuration which was optimised for studying the properties of liquid hydrogen and lithium hydride. Preliminary results from ongoing analyses will be described.
