1. MICE Phase 1 Koji Yoshimura KEK June 22,2005 @NuFACT05

2. “MICE Project gets the green light” -CERN Courier-

3. Outline MICE Step and Phase Motivation of Phase I R&D activities for implementation of Phase I

4. 4 MICE Step and Phase Phase I Phase II Phase is budgetary condition

5. Motivation of Phase I Step I Beam tuning Tuning up of PID and Beam counter Step II Various systematic study on tracker Calibration of spectrometer Step III Systematic calibration of emittance measurement  - STEP I: spring 2007 STEP II: summer 2007 STEP III: winter 2008 Reference of later step

6. Implementation for Phase I Beam line & Shielding PID TOF CKOV MUCAL Spectrometer SciFi Tracker Spectrometer Solenoid DAQ Software

7. MICE Beamline

8. PID Detectors

9. SciFi Tracker Add one more station to 3 station (FNAL, IC) Close to final design and manufacture Connectors Assembling Vacuum tight patch conncetors Outer cylinder made of carbon fiber (Liverpool) New wave guide system (Osaka)

10. VLPC readout system 2 slots VLPC cryostat has been successfully commissioned. (Great Effort by Russ and Alan) Temperatures are as expected by Russ. Newly-developed readout board (AFEII) has been tested Recently success in taking data

11. KEK Test Final check before manufacturing real tracker Performance check w/ B field (1 Tesla) and beam Various systematic study of the tracker

12. Series of tests Adopting staging approach? Feb, 2005 TOF and ACC test w/o Performance of single counter May, 2005 TOF and ACC test w/Bfiled (final layout) Test PID and beam counters w/ magnetic field Performance of TOF hodoscope Aerogel w/ Monitor beam under the condition of Step II VME DAQ system Participants from UK International collaboration Aug, 2005 Cosmic-ray test at FNAL/KEK Sep, 2005 SciFi tracker test KEK Step I KEK Step 0 KEK Step II

13. Preliminary Results 0.425 GeV/c π μ e
