  Muon accelerators offer an attractive option for a range of future particle
physics experiments. They can enable high energy (TeV+) high energy lepton
colliders whilst mitigating the difficulty of synchrotron losses, and can
provide intense beams of neutrinos for fundamental physics experiments
investigating the physics of flavor. The method of production of muon beams
results in high beam emittance which must be reduced for efficient
acceleration. Conventional emittance control schemes take too long, given the
very short (2.2 microsecond) rest lifetime of the muon. Ionisation cooling
offers a much faster approach to reducing particle emittance, and the
international MICE collaboration aims to demonstrate this technique for the
first time. This paper will present the MICE RF system and its role in the
context of the overall experiment.
