	Considering the ISIS muon target as a reference, Geant4 simulations have been performed to optimise the target parameters with respect to muon and pion yield. Previous studies suggested that the muon production can be optimised by using a thin graphite slab target with an incident proton energy significantly lower than initially considered. The current paper discusses a possible target design fully optimised for MuSR studies.
