Fig. 5: Normalized quantile distribution of the beam density in MICE.
From: Demonstration of cooling by the Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment

Upstream and downstream quantiles are indicated by orange and green lines, respectively, as a function of the fraction of the upstream sample. For each configuration, the density is normalized to the highest-density region in the upstream sample. The estimated standard error is indicated by the thickness of the coloured bands and is dominated by systematic uncertainty. The number of events in each sample is listed in Extended Data Table 2. Data for each experimental configuration were accumulated in a single discrete period.
