The Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment (MICE) is a strategic R&D projectintended to demonstrate the only practical solution to providing highbrilliance beams necessary for a neutrino factory or muon collider. MICE isunder development at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL) in the UnitedKingdom. It comprises a dedicated beamline to generate a range of input muonemittances and momenta, with time-of-flight and Cherenkov detectors to ensure apure muon beam. The emittance of the incoming beam will be measured in theupstream magnetic spectrometer with a scintillating fiber tracker. A coolingcell will then follow, alternating energy loss in Liquid Hydrogen (LH2)absorbers to RF cavity acceleration. A second spectrometer, identical to thefirst, and a second muon identification system will measure the outgoingemittance. In the 2010 run at RAL the muon beamline and most detectors werefully commissioned and a first measurement of the emittance of the muon beamwith particle physics (time-of-flight) detectors was performed. The analysis ofthese data was recently completed and is discussed in this paper. Future stepsfor MICE, where beam emittance and emittance reduction (cooling) are to bemeasured with greater accuracy, are also presented.
