Description
One of the principal deliverables of the U.S. Muon Accelerator Program to the International Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment (MICE) hosted by Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL) is a pair of Spectrometer Solenoid (SS) Magnets. On September 13, 2015, a failure occurred in one of the match coils on the downstream magnet while the magnet was being trained to full field. The aim of the present review is to provide a more detailed technical evaluation of the plans for operating the SS magnets in MICE Step IV and the plans to recover the required optics functionality for the MICE Cooling Demonstration.
