The production of high-intensity muon beams is crucial for advancing particle and accelerator physics, both now and in the future. Achieving these high-intensity goals requires overcoming significant challenges in high-power targetry. Here, we will outline the key challenges and explore the selection of target materials, focusing on muon production and susceptibility to radiation damage -- key factors for optimal target designs.
