MICE Miscellaneous Data

MICE, the international Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment, is a project to design, construct, operate and test a cell of a muon ionisation cooling channel that may be used for a future Muon Collider or Neutrino Factory.

The object of the MICE experiment is to take a beam of muons created from protons from the ISIS accelerator hitting a titanium target and to show that it is possible to create a narrow intense beam, using detector techniques from particle physics.

There are three primary classes of data produced by MICE: RAW data from the primary DAQ; RECO (reconstructed) data representing the particle tracks through the apparatus; and the outputs from numerical Simulation.

The Miscellaneous Data is the additional data produced by the Collaboration, including:

Calibration data needed for analysis

Construction data from the building and operation of the experiment components

Test Beam and cosmic-ray data from testing sub-detectors

Tarballs of the Miscellaneous data from MICE are available from:

The layout of the MICE data hierarchy is described in MICE Note 255 and the data and re-use policy is described in MICE Note 396:

Archival copies of all MICE data are stored on tape at the GridPP Tier 1 at the Rutherford-Appleton Laboratory, Chilton, UK. Contact the MICE Data Manager: micedataman@stfc.ac.uk.
