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.

The tar­get sys­tem en­vi­sioned for a Muon Col­lid­er or Neu­tri­no Fac­to­ry in­cludes a 20-T solenoid field sur­round­ing a mer­cury jet tar­get with the field ta­per­ing to 1.5 T 15 m down­stream of the tar­get. A prin­ci­pal chal­lenge is to shield the su­per­con­duct­ing mag­nets from the ra­di­a­tion is­su­ing from the 4-MW pro­ton beam im­pact­ing the tar­get. We de­scribe a so­lu­tion which will de­liv­er the de­sired field while being ca­pa­ble of tol­er­at­ing the in­tense ra­di­a­tion en­vi­ron­ment sur­round­ing the tar­get.

We pre­sent the re­sults of power de­po­si­tion in var­i­ous com­po­nents of the base­line tar­get sta­tion of a Muon Col­lid­er or a Neu­tri­no Fac­to­ry driv­en by a 4-MW pro­ton beam.
