Method 1

Technically, this can be done by returning javascript that will open the new window.

However, most browsers will kill a new window called in this manner (i.e. popup blocker).

You would be better off, if possible, by opening the link to your action in a new window from the start;

@Html.ActionLink("New report", "New", "Report", null, new {target = "_blank"})

Edit

I can see from your action, that it is probably a form that creates the report; you can also use the attribute target='_blank' on a form as well.
