Abstract:
A multi-TeV muon collider is a discovery machine and an invaluable tool
for many precision measurements such as the shape of the Higgs boson
potential. The update of the European Strategy for Particle Physics
recognized the unique opportunity of a muon collider to reach the energy
frontier, despite the challenges to produce intense cooled muon beams.
The forming international collaboration for a Design Study based at CERN
is mainly focusing on a 3 TeV and a 10+ TeV center of mass energy
collider options to evaluate the feasibility of the facility. The
physics potential, the need for a demonstrator and the required
technology developments are the key issues also addressed by the
preparation of European Accelerator and Detector R&D Roadmaps, and
studied within the ongoing US Snowmass process. The status of the
project, future plans and synergies will be discussed.
