Description
A challenging requirement for a Neutrino Factory with a highly
directional neutrino beam containing ~10^{21} neutrinos/yr is a target
technology which can be used with a proton beam of power levels on the
order of 4 MW. We describe our concept for a target system which can
operate at such beam powers and thereby generate the intense muon
beams the eventual decay of which produces the neutrinos from the
Neutrino Factory. Technical issues are discussed and the experimental
program devised to validate the target concept is presented.
