Abstract
Efficient production and collection of a large number of muons is needed to make a muon collider viable. Target options are considered to maximize pion yield and to provide target survivability for 8 and 30 GeV primary beams of approximately 1014 protons per pulse at 15 Hz. Realistic Monte-Carlo simulations are performed for targets of different configurations and dimensions in a high-field solenoid. Different materials, including liquid metals and coolants, are studied to optimize heat removal
