Particle colliders have arguably been the most important instruments for particle physics over the past 50 years. As they became more powerful, they were used to push the frontier of our knowledge into previously uncharted territory. The LHC, the highest energy collider to date, at which the Higgs boson was discovered, is a prime example. To continue along the road into the Terra Promissa beyond the Standard Model requires colliders with energy reach even greater than that of the LHC. Beams of muons offer enormous potential for the exploration of the energy frontier. Since the muon is a fundamental particle, its full energy is available in collisions in contrast to protons which are composed of quarks and gluons. However, muon beams decay rapidly, which presents a special challenge for a collider. Recent research indicates that the technologies required to overcome this challenge are within our grasp and may offer a cost-effective and energy-efficient option to continue our explorations. A new international collaboration is forming to bring together the diverse expertise and complementary capabilities from around the world to realize the muon collider as the next-generation energy-frontier discovery machine.

  1. Discovery prospects of a singly-charged scalar at $\mu$TRISTAN

    hep-ph 2026-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A same-sign muon collider could discover the singly-charged scalar of Type-II seesaw through a lepton-flavor-violating process, and the final lepton flavor could distinguish normal from inverted neutrino mass ordering...

    hep-ph 2025-08 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Charged Higgs production rates and 5-sigma discovery regions at a 3 TeV muon collider are computed for the 2HDMcT Type-III seesaw model, with the H1+ H1- channel exceeding the e+e- rate.
