Novel beam-intercepting materials and targetry concepts are essential to improve the performance, reliability and operation lifetimes of next generation multi-megawatt (multi-MW) accelerator target facilities. The beam-intercepting materials and components must sustain an order-of-magnitude increase in particle beam intensities and are beyond the current state-of-the-art. With conventional materials already limiting the scope of experiments, it is crucial to investigate novel target materials, technologies and concepts that will satisfy the requirements and maximize the physics benefits of future energy and intensity frontier experiments. This paper provides an overview of the related targetry R&D required over the next 10 years to support and enable future high-power accelerator target facilities.
