Muon colliders represent a highly attractive option for future
collider thanks to the possibility to reach very high center of mass
energy, high luminosity with reasonable costs and dimensions.
Nevertheless, the feasibility is not yet fully demonstrated and presents
several challenges: muon beams production and operations from the
machine side and beam-induced background mitigation on the detector
part. Several progress have been achieved in the last years allowing to
re-open the muon collider case.
The detailed study of the beam-induced background has demonstrated that
even the most challenging events like those involving b-jets can be
efficiently reconstructed. This has triggered the study of several Higgs
related processes in particular the double and triple Higgs production
with sufficient precision to fully determine the Higgs potential.
In the seminar a brief description of the machine will be followed by a
discussion on the performance on detector and Higgs reconstruction.

Connections will begin at 12:30 with the seminar beginning at 13:00.
