The physics case of a 3 TeV muon collider stage
In the path towards a muon collider with center of mass energy of 10 TeV ormore, a stage at 3 TeV emerges as an appealing option. Reviewing the physicspotential of such muon collider is the main purpose of this document. In orderto outline the progression of the physics performances across the stages, a fewsensitivity projections for higher energy are also presented. There are manyopportunities for probing new physics at a 3 TeV muon collider. Some of themare in common with the extensively documented physics case of the CLIC 3 TeVenergy stage, and include measuring the Higgs trilinear coupling and testingthe possible composite nature of the Higgs boson and of the top quark at the 20TeV scale. Other opportunities are unique of a 3 TeV muon collider, and stemfrom the fact that muons are collided rather than electrons. This isexemplified by studying the potential to explore the microscopic origin of thecurrent -2 and -physics anomalies, which are both related with muons.<br

Towards a muon collider
A muon collider would enable the big jump ahead in energy reach that is needed for a fruitful exploration of fundamental interactions. The challenges of producing muon collisions at high luminosity and 10 TeV centre of mass energy are being investigated by the recently-formed International Muon Collider Collaboration. This Review summarises the status and the recent advances on muon colliders design, physics and detector studies. The aim is to provide a global perspective of the field and to outline directions for future work
Theory of Collider Phenomena
Theoretical research has long played an essential role in interpreting data from high-energy particle colliders and motivating new accelerators to advance the energy and precision frontiers. Collider phenomenology is an essential interface between theoretical models and experimental observations, since theoretical studies inspire experimental analyses while experimental results
sharpen theoretical ideas. This report -- from the Snowmass 2021 Theory Frontier topical group for Collider Phenomenology (TF07) -- showcases the dynamism, engagement, and motivations of collider phenomenologists by exposing selected exciting new directions and establishing key connections between cutting-edge theoretical advances and current and future experimental
opportunities. By investing in collider phenomenology, the high-energy physics community can help ensure that theoretical advances are translated into concrete tools that enable and enhance current and future experiments, and in turn, experimental results feed into a more complete theoretical understanding and motivate new questions and explorations
Muon Collider Forum report
A multi-TeV muon collider offers a spectacular opportunity in the direct exploration of the energy frontier. Offering a combination of unprecedented energy collisions in a comparatively clean leptonic environment, a high energy muon collider has the unique potential to provide both precision measurements and the highest energy reach in one machine that cannot be paralleled by any currently available technology. The topic generated a lot of excitement in Snowmass meetings and continues to attract a large number of supporters, including many from the early career community. In light of this very strong interest within the US particle physics community, Snowmass Energy, Theory and Accelerator Frontiers created a cross-frontier Muon Collider Forum in November of 2020. The Forum has been meeting on a monthly basis and organized several topical workshops dedicated to physics, accelerator technology, and detector R&D. Findings of the Forum are summarized in this report
Interim report for the International Muon Collider Collaboration (IMCC)
The International Muon Collider Collaboration (IMCC) [1] was established in
2020 following the recommendations of the European Strategy for Particle
Physics (ESPP) and the implementation of the European Strategy for Particle
Physics-Accelerator R&D Roadmap by the Laboratory Directors Group [2],
hereinafter referred to as the the European LDG roadmap. The Muon Collider
Study (MuC) covers the accelerator complex, detectors and physics for a future
muon collider. In 2023, European Commission support was obtained for a design
study of a muon collider (MuCol) [3]. This project started on 1st March 2023,
with work-packages aligned with the overall muon collider studies. In
preparation of and during the 2021-22 U.S. Snowmass process, the muon collider
project parameters, technical studies and physics performance studies were
performed and presented in great detail. Recently, the P5 panel [4] in the U.S.
recommended a muon collider R&D, proposed to join the IMCC and envisages that
the U.S. should prepare to host a muon collider, calling this their "muon
shot". In the past, the U.S. Muon Accelerator Programme (MAP) [5] has been
instrumental in studies of concepts and technologies for a muon collider.Comment: This document summarises the International Muon Collider
Collaboration (IMCC) progress and status of the Muon Collider R&D programm
