Ludewig1, P. Thieberger1, and N. Mokhov3 1Brookhaven National Laboratory, Upton, NY 11973, USA; simos@ 2Princeton University, USA 3Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, USA Abstract A muon collider or a neutrino factory based on a muon storage ring require intense beams of muons that can be generated by a 1-4 MW proton beam incident on a moving target inside a 20-T solenoid magnet, with a mercury jet as a
