DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Wei Li (Rice University (US))\, Darin Acosta (Rice U
 niversity)\, Fred Olness (Southern Methodist University (US))\, Thomas Ull
 rich\, mark Palmer (BNL)\n\nThe Muon-Ion Collider (MuIC) is an exciting ne
 w concept that promises to deliver a next-generation TeV-scale deep-inelas
 tic (DIS) machine with a smaller footprint [1\,2]. The proposed MuIC achie
 ves this by replacing the electron beam of the electron-ion collider (EIC)
  with a high-energy and high-intensity muon beam\, which can be converted 
 into a muon-proton and muon-nucleus facility at Brookhaven National Lab wi
 th a center-of-mass energy of up to about 1 TeV. Similarly\, a MuIC with a
 n energy of several TeVs can be achieved by adding a muon beam to intercep
 t the existing LHC proton beams at CERN.The MuIC has the potential to expl
 ore the ultimate frontier of quantum chromodynamics and nuclear physics\, 
 probing small Bjorken-x to 10^{-6} and momentum transfer Q^{2} up to 10^{6
 } GeV^{2}. It will also provide new opportunities in studying the physics 
 of the standard model and beyond. In addition\, the MuIC will serve as a d
 emonstrator of muon accelerator and collider technology with a compelling 
 science program\, leveraging established facilities to motivate worldwide 
 R&D efforts.The objective of this 2.5-day workshop is to initiate a first 
 discussion of the MuIC concept by bringing together experts from the nucle
 ar and particle physics communities to explore synergies and establish com
 mon interests. Specifically\, the workshop aims to address three main topi
 cs: (1) key and unique physics cases in particle and nuclear physics that 
 can be addressed by the MuIC\; (2) specific considerations in the accelera
 tor and collider design for a MuIC\, as well as possible staging options\;
  and (3) experimental challenges in detector design\, machine-detector int
 erface\, and neutrino mitigation. Through this initial dialogue\, our goal
  is to start developing a community around the MuIC concept to pursue futu
 re studies and R&Ds.Co-organizers:Darin AcostaWei Li Fred Olness Mark Pa
