The Muon-to-Electron (Mu2e) experiment at Fermilab, will seek the evidence ofdirect muon to electron conversion at the sensitivity level where it cannot beexplained by the Standard Model. An 8-GeV 25-kW proton beam will be directedonto a tilted gold target inside a large-bore superconducting ProductionSolenoid (PS) with the peak field on the axis of ~5T. The negative muonsresulting from the pion decay will be captured in the PS aperture and directedby an S-shaped Transport Solenoid towards the stopping target inside theDetector Solenoid. In order for the superconducting magnets to operate reliablyand with a sufficient safety margin, the peak neutron flux entering the coilsmust be reduced by 3 orders of magnitude that is achieved by means of asophisticated absorber placed in the magnet aperture. The proposed absorber,consisting of W- and Cu-based alloy parts, is optimized for the performance andcost. Results of MARS15 simulations of energy deposition and radiation arereported. The results of the PS magnet thermal analysis, coordinated with thecoil cooling scheme, are reported as well for the selected absorber design.
