Status
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:
“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)
“His Majesty’s Government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country.”
—A.J. (Arthur James)

Policemen so cherish their status as keepers of the peace and protectors of the public that they have occasionally been known to beat to death those citizens or groups who question that status.”
—David Mamet (b. 1947)
