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 scenarios, 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 (W jet) target system across a 1 − 20 GeV kinetic energy scan range, using FLUKA, to determine the optimal target design for use within the collider. Idealised physics geometries are used throughout this work, with engineering feasibility estimated from the design constraints.
