We have investigated the feasibility of using compound materials as targetfor muon production by virtue of simulations using a GEANT4 toolkit. A graphiteand two thermostable compound materials, beryllium oxide (BeO) and boroncarbide (B4C) were considered as muon production targets and their muonproduction rates for 600-MeV proton beam were calculated and compared. Forthermal analysis, total heat deposited on the targets by the proton beams andthe secondary particles was calculated with a MCNPX code, and then thetemperature distribution of target was derived from the calculated heat byusing an ANSYS code with consideration for heat transfer mechanisms, such asthermal conduction and thermal radiation. In addition, we have investigatedwhether the heavy ion beams can be utilized for muon production. For variousbeam species such as 3He2, 4He, 7Li, 10B and 12C, their muon production rateswere calculated and compared with that obtained for a proton beam.
