${\mu}$LHC: Antimuon Ring and HL-LHC based ${\mu}^+p$ Collider
Abstract
Conceptual design and performance evaluation of HL-LHC based antimuon-proton collider (LHC) are presented. Leveraging the TRISTAN concept based on established J-PARC ultra-cold beam technology, LHC will give the opportunity to achieve a 5.3 TeV center-of-mass energy, significantly surpassing EIC and LHeC. Two booster ring options for acceleration, namely, a TRISTAN-based and a repurposed LHeC ERL-based systems, are explored. Achievable luminosities are predicted to exceed . The LHC offers substantially wider kinematic plane coverage, particularly in small-x and high- regions, significantly contributing to QCD basics and Higgs boson properties. Its unique potential for BSM physics extends to muon-related phenomena like excited muons, color-octet muons, leptoquarks, and contact interactions. A possible detector concept is also outlined. Given the maturity of ultra-cold beam technology, LHC is highly feasible for earlier realization than the muon collider, positioning it as a critical tool for the future of high energy physics.
