abstract

The status of the research on muon colliders is discussed and plans are outlined for future theoretical and experimental studies. Besides continued work on the parameters of a 3-4 and 0.5 TeV center-of-mass (CoM) energy collider, many studies are now concentrating on a machine near 0.1 TeV (CoM) that could be a factory for the s-channel production of Higgs particles. We discuss the research on the various components in such muon colliders, starting from the proton accelerator needed to generate pions from a heavy-Z target and proceeding through the phase rotation and decay ($\pi \to \mu \nu_{\mu}$) channel, muon cooling, acceleration, storage in a collider ring and the collider detector. We also present theoretical and experimental R & D plans for the next several years that should lead to a better understanding of the design and feasibility issues for all of the components. This report is an update of the progress on the R & D since the Feasibility Study of Muon Colliders presented at the Snowmass'96 Workshop [R. B. Palmer, A. Sessler and A. Tollestrup, Proceedings of the 1996 DPF/DPB Summer Study on High-Energy Physics (Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, Menlo Park, CA, 1997)].

  1. The Neutrino Slice at Muon Colliders

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Beam-induced neutrinos at a muon collider would yield around 10^11 interactions per year in the main detector, enabling precision electroweak and neutrino measurements.

  2. Strong First-Order Electroweak Phase Transitions and Gravitational Waves in the Normal Two-Higgs-Doublet Model: A Comparative Study of the Four Yukawa Types and Thermal Resummation Schemes

    hep-ph 2026-07 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    In the Normal 2HDM, SFOEWPTs are single-step and alignment-favoring across all four Yukawa types, yet Parwani versus Arnold–Espinosa resummation changes the viable heavy-mass range from ~1.6 TeV to ≲800 GeV and leaves...

  3. Fermion-Portal Dark Matter at a High-Energy Muon Collider

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    At a 10 TeV muon collider, fermion-portal dark matter mediators could be discovered up to about 4.7 TeV, and including the muon parton distribution in simulations lowers the predicted reach and changes signal shapes.

  4. Measuring the trilinear Higgs self-coupling in Higgs boson pair production at multi-TeV muon colliders

    hep-ph 2026-08 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    In simulated muon-collider data, combining resolved and boosted Higgs pair events with machine learning yields a 68% confidence interval on the Higgs self-coupling modifier of 0.96 to 1.05 at 10 TeV.

    physics.ins-det 2025-01 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    The MAIA detector concept for a 10 TeV muon collider achieves over 95% reconstruction efficiency for energetic tracks, photons, and neutrons in the central region under simulated beam-induced background.
