The international Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment (MICE) is being built, at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL), to demonstrate the feasibility of ionization cooling of muon beams. This is one of the major technological steps needed in the development of a muon collider and a neutrino factory based on muon decays in a storage ring. MICE will use particle detectors to measure the cooling effect with high precision, achieving a precision on the measurement of emittance of 0.1% or better. The particle i.d. detectors and trackers must work in harsh environmental conditions due to high magnetic fringe fields and RF noise. We will briefly describe the MICE particle i.d. detector systems, and show some current performance measurements of these detectors.
