Abstract: ALICE 3 is a new detector system proposed to operate during LHC Runs 5 and 6. The Muon IDentifier (MID) detector is one of the ALICE 3 subsystems optimized to detect muons down to momenta below 1.5 GeV/c for pseudorapidities |$\eta$|<1.3 for the reconstruction of J/$\psi$ vector mesons down to zero transverse momentum at midrapidity. The ALICE 3 tracker's large-acceptance will offer access to rare charmonium and exotic states that decay to J/$\psi$, pions, and photons. The MID detector will be installed outside the superconducting magnet and will include an absorber with variable thickness (70 cm to 38 cm). Plastic scintillator, multi-wire proportional chambers, and resistive proportional chambers technologies are considered for the construction of MID. This work present the concept of the MID detector and an update and plans on the development and exploration of the technologies proposed for the construction.
