News from the New World
- Indication from NSF/DOE that a bid for additional
resources (i.e. on top of MC and MuCool) at the
level of 2M - 2.5M can be entertained - US collaboration, in discussion with NSF/DOE,
identified/proposed a MICE phase 0 - One spectrometer solenoid (provided by US)
- Instrumentation
- Absorber

MICE Phase 0 possible schemes
- From R. Palmer at last weeks VC

Possible MICE phase 0
Field 4 T uniformity?
- Absorber envelope 10 cm (in z)
- 4-station tracker
- Spacing 10 cm 15 cm 20 cm
- Stations identical to full MICE
- Resolution?

Initial estimate of resolution
- Needs more work
- Resolution etc. ME, KL, CR,
- ICOOL etc. UB,
