Abstract

Simulations studies have been carried out to examine the
impact of the energy of the proton driver on muon production.
The muon flux is calculated as a function of proton
energy over a wide range, which covers the energies at the
existing muon and neutron facilities worldwide. The muon
and higher energy pion yields are normalised per beam current
and accelerator power. The case of a higher energy of
the proton driver at the ISIS muon facility is also examined.
