In the International Design Study for the Neutrino Factory (IDS-NF), a proton beam with a kinetic energy between 5 and 15 GeV interacts with a liquid mercury jet target in order to produce pions that will decay to muons, which in turn decay to neutrinos. The target is situated in a solenoidal field tapering from 20 T down to 1.5 T over a length of several metres, allowing for an optimised capture of pions in order to produce a useful muon beam for the machine. We present results of target particle production calculations using MARS, FLUKA and G4BEAMLINE simulation codes.

The target system envisioned for a Muon Collider or Neutrino Factory includes a 20-T solenoid field surrounding a mercury jet target with the field tapering to 1.5 T 15 m downstream of the target. A principal challenge is to shield the superconducting magnets from the radiation issuing from the 4-MW proton beam impacting the target. We describe a solution which will deliver the desired field while being capable of tolerating the intense radiation environment surrounding the target.

We present the results of power deposition in various components of the baseline target station of a Muon Collider or a Neutrino Factory driven by a 4-MW proton beam.
