The target is situated in a solenoidal field tapering from 20 T down to 1.5 T over a length of several metres, allowing for an optimised capture of pions in order to produce a useful muon beam for the machine.

In the International Design Study for the Neutrino Factory (IDS-NF), a proton beam with a kinetic energy between 5 and 15 GeV interacts with a liquid mercury jet target in order to produce pions that will decay to muons, which in turn decay to neutrinos. The target is situated in a solenoidal field tapering from 20 T down to 1.5 T over a length of several metres, allowing for an optimised capture of pions in order to produce a useful muon beam for the machine. We present results of target particle production calculations using MARS, FLUKA and G4BEAMLINE simulation codes.
