Description

Production target design for the Muon-Electron Conversion Experiment has undergone significant evolution recently. Limited progress in producing a suitable radiation-cooled target has spurred interest in a water-cooling system with drastically lower operating temperatures. This system results in less than about five percent reduction in stopped muon yield compared to a similar radiation cooled unit. The theoretical and experimental research surrounding target design is discussed
