Abstract

The Target System and Pion Decay Channel for a Muon Collider/Neutrino Factory utilizes a string of solenoid magnets to capture and transport the low-energy pions whose decay provides the desired muon beams. The magnetic field strength at the target is 15-20 T, "tapering" down to 1.5-3 T in the Decay Channel. The superconducting coils which produce these fields must have substantial inner radius to accommodate internal shielding against radiation damage by secondary particles. A significant fraction of the primary beam energy is transported into the Decay Channel via protons, and the Decay Channel includes a magnetic chicane to provide a beam dump for these. The design of the various coils in this scenario is reported.
