Abstract :
Ionisation cooling will be an essential element of a future Neutrino Factory [1]. The muon ionization cooling experiment,MICE, being built at RAL(UK) will be the first apparatus to demonstrate the feasibility of this technique. MICE will be unique in being able to make single-particle measurements: it will be possible to measure the amplitude of each muon in 6D phase space. It is shown how amplitude measurements can be used to quantify the transmission of the cooling channel and the increase in central phase space density due to cooling.
