Muon collider overview: Progress and future plans
- Brookhaven National Lab., Upton, NY (United States)
Besides continued work on the parameters of a 3--4 and 0.5 TeV center of mass (CoM) collider, many studies are now concentrating on a machine near 100 GeV (CoM) that could be a factor for the s-channel production of Higgs particles. The authors mention 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} {r_arrow} {mu}{nu}{sub {mu}}) channel, muon cooling, acceleration, storage in a collider ring and the collider detector. The authors also mention theoretical and experimental R and 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 note is a summary of a report updating the progress on the R and D since the Feasibility Study of Muon Colliders presented at the Workshop Snowmass `96.
