We present a candidate design for a high-energy high-luminosity {mu}{sup +}-{mu}{sup -} collider, with E{sub cm}=4 TeV, L=3 x 10{sup 34} cm{sup -2}s{sup -1}, using only existing technology. The design uses a rapid-cycling medium-energy proton synchrotron, which produces proton beam pulses which are focused onto two pi-producing targets, with two pi-decay transport lines producing {mu}{sup +}'s and {mu}{sup -}'s. The {mu}'s are collected, rf-rotated, cooled and compressed into a recirculating linac for acceleration, and then transferred into a storage ring collider. The keys to high luminosity are maximal {mu} collection and cooling; innovations with these goals are presented, and future plans for collider development are discussed. This example demonstrates a novel high-energy collider type, which will permit exploration of elementary particle physics at energy frontiers beyond the reach of currently existing and proposed electron and hadron colliders.
