	Funding: EU FP7 EUROnu WP3 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.

	Funding: This work is supported in part by the US DOE Contract NO. DE-AC02-98CH10886. 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.
