As of 2010, MICE is in the final stages of construction at Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in the UK. The muon beamline is in place and commissioning has begun. During the rest of 2010 further instrumentation will be installed and commissioned. Starting in 2011 and until 2014, measurements with progressively more powerful muon cooling devices will aim at effecting the first experimental demonstration of ionization cooling itself. Also during this phase they are using grid resources provided by GridPP to model and simulate the behaviour of the beam in the machine.

Famous quotes containing the word status:
“[In early adolescence] she becomes acutely aware of herself as a being perceived by others, judged by others, though she herself is the harshest judge, quick to list her physical flaws, quick to undervalue and under-rate herself not only in terms of physical appearance but across a wide range of talents, capacities and even social status, whereas boys of the same age will cite their abilities, their talents and their social status pretty accurately.”
—Terri Apter (20th century)
“At all events, as she, Ulster, cannot have the status quo, nothing remains for her but complete union or the most extreme form of Home Rule; that is, separation from both England and Ireland.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“Recent studies that have investigated maternal satisfaction have found this to be a better prediction of mother-child interaction than work status alone. More important for the overall quality of interaction with their children than simply whether the mother works or not, these studies suggest, is how satisfied the mother is with her role as worker or homemaker. Satisfied women are consistently more warm, involved, playful, stimulating and effective with their children than unsatisfied women.”
—Alison Clarke-Stewart (20th century)
