The concept for a muon-production system for a muon collider or neutrino factory calls for an intense 4-MW-class proton beam impinging upon a free-flowing mercury jet immersed in a 20-T solenoid field. This system is challenging in many aspects, including magnetohydrodynamics of the mercury jet subject to disruption by the proton beam, strong intermagnetic forces, and the intense thermal loads and substantial radiation damage to the magnet coils due to secondary particles from the target. Studies of these issues are ongoing, with a sketch of their present status given here.
