Data availability: The unprocessed and reconstructed data that support the findings of this study are publicly available on the GridPP computing Grid at https://doi.org/10.17633/rd.brunel.3179644 (MICE unprocessed data) and https://doi.org/10.17633/rd.brunel.5955850 (MICE reconstructed data). Source data for Figs. 3–5 and Extended Data Fig. 1 are provided with the paper. Publications using MICE data must contain the following statement: “We gratefully acknowledge the MICE collaboration for allowing us access to their data. Third-party results are not endorsed by the MICE collaboration.” Code availability: The MAUS software50 that was used to reconstruct and analyse the MICE data is available at https://doi.org/10.17633/rd.brunel.8337542. The analysis presented here used MAUS version 3.3.2. ; Code availability: The MAUS software50 that was used to reconstruct and analyse the MICE data is available at https://doi.org/10.17633/rd.brunel.8337542. The analysis presented here used MAUS version 3.3.2. ; The use of accelerated beams of electrons, protons or ions has furthered the development of nearly every scientific discipline. However, high-energy muon beams of equivalent quality have not yet been delivered. Muon beams can be created through the decay of pions produced by the interaction of a proton beam with a target. Such ‘tertiary’ beams have much lower brightness than those created by accelerating electrons, protons or ions. High-brightness muon beams comparable to those produced by state-of-the-art electron, proton and ion accelerators could facilitate the study of lepton–antilepton collisions at extremely high energies and provide well characterized neutrino beams. Such muon beams could be realized using ionization cooling, which has been proposed to increase muon-beam brightness. Here we report the realization of ionization cooling, which was confirmed by the observation of an increased number of low-amplitude muons after passage of the muon beam through an absorber, as well as an increase in the corresponding ... |
