Description

Muon colliders provide a path to high-luminosity lepton collisions at center-of-mass energies beyond the reach of existing collider technologies. Unlike protons, muons are elementary particles, so the full beam energy is available in the collision. Unlike electrons, muons emit significantly less synchrotron radiation, enabling compact circular machines at the multi-TeV scale. A muon collider operating at 10 TeV or above would provide substantial discovery potential through both direct searches and precision measurements beyond the Standard Model. In this talk, I will present an overview of the muon collider and the remaining technical challenges, with a focus on superconducting magnet technology. I will also discuss designs for muon collider demonstrators.
