A neutrino oscillation experiment of exceptional intensity, driven by a 1 MW proton driver, is currently under study at BNL. To achieve the high neutrino intensity an energetic proton beam with intensity approaching 1014 protons will be intercepted by a low-Z target at 2.5 Hz pulse rate placed within a magnetic horn. Such intensities are expected to push the envelope of the target material integrity and the state of knowledge of how materials respond to both long-term irradiation and thermo-mechanical shock. Furthermore, the required repetition rate of 2.5 Hz will strain even further both the target and the horn in that large thermal loads generated from energy deposition and currents will need to be removed between pulses. To accomplish the physics requirements of the proposed neutrino oscillation experiment, technical challenges that relate to (a) material selection for the production target and its long-term survivability, (b) horn design and choice material integrity, and (c) the integration of the two systems, need to be met. This paper discusses the feasibility of different target/horn integration options both in terms of performance and longevity and examines the enhancing potential of innovative techniques. The paper also presents a discussion on the weak links in the various options, which result from the intensity levels and the selected cooling environments, and the strategy to extrapolate the current knowledge on material degradation through R and advanced computational techniques.
