Abstract

The design of the target station for a 4-MW Muon Collider or a Neutrino Factory isevolving to include more space for services to the magnets and internal tungsten shielding,as well as consideration of removing the 5-T resistive copper coils, thereby reducing thepeak field from 20 to 15 T. Simulations withMARS15 have been performed to verify that theserevisions preserve sufficient shielding that the peak power deposition everywhere in thesuperconducting magnets will be less than 0.1 mW/g, permitting at least a 10-yearoperational lifetime against radiation damage to the organic insulators.
