dear Prof....

at the request of Prof. Palladino, we have the pleasure to forward you a copy of the proposal "MICE, an International Muon Ionization Experiment", which was submitted to the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in January 2003. 

The Peer Review Committee’s initial response to the MICE proposal 28 February 2003 was as follows: 

"The committee wishes to thank the proponents of MICE for their clear and enthusiastic presentations, and also for some useful clarifications of issues which were raised during the exchanges in the closed session. The committee appreciates the timeliness of MICE and its importance as a necessary step towards a serious proposal for the construction of a Neutrino Factory. The proponents and RAL are encouraged to proceed towards the difficult but essential step of achieving adequate funding and resources.(...)"  


with kind regards,
