    "abstract": "An update is presented on a conceptual design for a pion production target\nstation using a rotating cupronickel band and that was originally proposed for\nuse at a muon collider facility with a 4 MW pulsed proton beam. After reviewing\nthe salient design features and motivations for this target, ongoing studies\nare described that are attempting to benchmark the thermal stresses and\nradiation damage on the target band using data from the Fermilab antiproton\nsource and other operating targets. Possible parameter optimizations and\nalternative technologies for the rotating band are surveyed, including\ndiscussion on the the various proton beam parameters that might be encountered\nfor rotating band targets at either muon colliders or neutrino factories.\nFinally, an outline is proposed for a possible R\u0026D path towards capability for\nthe actual construction of rotating band pion production targets.",
