	We report on the analysis of data collected in the MERIT experiment at CERN during the Fall of 2007. These results validate the concept of a free mercury jet inside a high-field solenoid magnet as a target for a pulsed proton beam of 4-MW power, as needed for a future Muon Collider and/or Neutrino Factory.

	The CNGS facility (CERN Neutrinos to Gran Sasso) aims at directly detecting muon to tau neutrino oscillations. An intense muon-neutrino beam (10¹⁷ muon neutrinos/day) is generated at CERN and directed over 732km towards the Gran Sasso National Laboratory, LNGS, in Italy, where two large and complex detectors, OPERA and ICARUS, are located. CNGS is the first long-baseline neutrino facility in which the measurement of the oscillation parameters is performed by observation of the tau-neutrino appearance. The facility is approved for a physics program of five years with a total of 22.5·10¹⁹ protons on target. Having resolved successfully some initial issues that occurred since its commissioning in 2006, the facility had its first complete year of physics in 2008. By the end of the 2009 physics run the facility will have delivered in total more than 5·10¹⁹ protons on target corresponding to ~2-3 tau neutrino events in the OPERA detector. The experiences gained in operating this 500 kW neutrino beam facility along with highlights of the beam performance in 2008 and 2009 are discussed.
