Additional information

The construction of the detectors used by MICE to measure the position of a muon, without perturbing its trajectory is described in this paper. The detectors are made of over 17000 individual optical fibres (the majority of them 200 microns in diameter) and the detector structure means that once complete mistakes in the fibre routing cannot be corrected. Brunel, inter alia, designed and built the optical measurement system which kept routing errors down to less than 1 in 1000. The Proposal P986 at Fermilab with a similar detector is planning to use this system. Work led to Grant DD/xx/yyy.
