The muon collider would extend the limitations of {ital e}{sup +} {ital e}{sup {minus}} colliders and provide new physics potentials, with possible discovery of the heavy Higgs bosons. At the maximum energy of 2 TeV the projected luminosity is of the order of 10{sup 35} cm{sup {minus}2}s{sup {minus}1}. The colliding {mu}{sup +} {mu}{sup {minus}} bunches have to be focused to a very small transverse size of 2.8 {mu}m, which is accomplished by the betatron functions at the crossing point of {beta}{asterisk}=3 mm. This requires a longitudinal space of the same length, 3 mm. These very short bunches at 2 TeV could circulate only in a quasi-isochronous storage ring where the momentum compaction is very close to zero. We report on a design of a muon collider isochronous lattice. The momentum compaction is brought to zero by having the average value of the dispersion function through dipoles equal to zero. This is accomplished by a combination of FODO cells with a low-beta insertion. The dispersion function oscillates between negative and positive values. {copyright} {ital 1996 American Institute of Physics.}
