This working group report focuses on the physics potential of {mu}{sup +}{mu}{sup {minus}} colliders beyond what can be accomplished at linear e{sup +}e{sup {minus}} colliders and the LHC. Particularly interesting possibilities include (1) s-channel resonance production to discover and study heavy Higgs bosons with ZZ and WW couplings that are suppressed or absent at tree-level (such as the H and A Higgs bosons of supersymmetric models), (2) study of the strongly interacting electroweak sector, where higher energies give larger signals, and (3) measurements of the masses and properties of heavy supersymmetric particles.
