“…Initial experiments were conducted at the BNL AGS [4] in which the characteristics of the interaction of an Hg jet with a 24-GeV proton beam was first studied. These studies gave encouraging but limited results.…”

“…Experiments with beam have begun at BNL, sending 24 GeV protons onto Hg in a trough, to be followed by similar tests with 1.4 GeV protons in the ISOLDE target area [12]. Some results have also been obtained by the American collaboration concerning the effect of the proton beam onto an Hg jet [15]. Until now, these tests at 1/100 of the ultimate power density and 1/10 of the foreseen jet speed have shown the expected radial "explosion" during the impact, but no upstream propagation along the jet.…”

Studies for a Neutrino Factory at CERN have made remarkable progress during the last year, supported by specialists from numerous laboratories in Europe and in close connection with teams looking at similar projects in the USA and in Japan. Although many options are still open, a reference scheme is pursued and work has advanced on many on its components. The status of these studies is described, as well as the future plans. Potential evolutions of the reference scheme and the possibility of a staged realisation are also commented upon. NuFACT'01 Workshop, May 24-30, 2001 open, a reference scheme is pursued and work has advanced on many on its components. The status of these studies is described, as well as the future plans. Potential evolutions of the reference scheme and the possibility of a staged realisation are also commented upon.

“…It comes as a continuation of previous studies with encouraging results done at BNL [2] and CERN [3], combining for the first time a free mercury jet and a focusing/capturing solenoid for secondary pions or muons as proposed in design studies for future facilities [4]. The focus of the experiment is the study of the impact of intense single proton pulses on the jet.…”

Abstract-The MERIT experiment is a proof-of-principle test of a target system for high power proton beams to be used as front-end for a neutrino factory complex or a muon collider. The experiment took data in autumn 2007 with the fast extracted beam from the CERN Proton Synchrotron (PS) to a maximum intensity of about 30 × 10 12 protons per pulse. The target system, based on a free mercury jet, allows to investigate the interseption of a 4-MW proton beam inside a 15-T magnetic field required to capture the low-energy secondary pions as the source of the required intense muon beams. Particle detectors have been installed around the target setup capable to measure the secondary particle flux out of the target and probe cavitation effects in the mercury jet when exited with a beam of variable intensity. With the analysis of the data ongoing, results will be presented here that demonstrate the validity of the liquid target concept.
