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.

—David Mamet (b. 1947)
“The influx of women into paid work and her increased power raise a woman’s aspirations and hopes for equal treatment at home. Her lower wage and status at work and the threat of divorce reduce what she presses for and actually expects.”
