- Author contribution statement
- I was the UK Principal Investigator of the Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment (MICE), providing intellectual and organizational leadership of the project, and contributing to all parts of the project (construction, software and analysis). This paper is the first demonstration of ionization cooling of muons, an essential requirement in making a muon collider into a viable accelerator concept. A muon collider is the only possible lepton-antilepton collider that could exceed the energy reach of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Ionization cooling was the last remaining technological breakthrough required to be able to make a muon collider feasible.
