And so from there, you have this big cloud of muons that are being produced by this target. But because your protons are slow, particles aren't boosted forward. And because your mesons are even slower than your protons, they're also not very forward. So you have this really huge cloud of muons that are not at all bunched together in the pin-tight way that we would need to collide them.
