Description
The target system for a proposed Muon Collider must withstand multi-MW pulsed proton beams, at 5 GeV for 2 MW or 10 GeV for 4 MW, to produce muons through pion decay. It must also maintain long-term reliability while providing the required particle yield, with performance depending on its ability to sustain high thermal and radiation loads.
This study presents optimised pion-to-muon production yields and investigates radiation-induced heat loads for the tungsten powder target system across a 1 − 20 GeV kinetic energy scan range, using FLUKA, to determine the optimal target design for use within the colliders front-end target system. Idealised physics geometries are used throughout this work, with engineering feasibility estimated from the design constraints.
