Pion to Muon Decay Channel
•Challenge: high emittance of target pions
–Currently come from a 20cm tantalum rod
•Solution: superconducting solenoids
–S/C enables a high focussing field
–Larger aperture than quadrupoles
•Basic lattice uses regular ~4T focussing
–Initial smaller 20T solenoid around target
–30m length = 2.5 pion decay times at 200MeV
