Abstract :
We report initial results of exposing low-Z solid and high-Z liquid targets to 150-ns, 4×1012 proton pulses with spot sizes on the order of 1 to 2 mm. The energy deposition density approached 100 J/g. Diagnostics included fiberoptic strain sensors on the solid target and high-speed photography of the liquid targets. This work is part of the R&D program of the Neutrino Factory and Muon Collider Collaboration
