Abstract

The discovery of neutrino oscillations implies that neutrinos are massive and mixed, necessitating an extension of the Standard Model, which may require the introduction of non-standard neutrino interactions (NSI). We investigate the potential of a high-energy muon collider to probe such NSIs with muons, specifically focusing on muonic forces. By analyzing the monophoton signal from the process μ+μννγ\mu^+ \mu^- \rightarrow \nu \overline{\nu } \gamma, we explore four-fermion contact interactions involving two muons and two neutrinos. Moreover, we examine minimal models that generate scalar and vector-mediated NSIs and study their phenomenology. Projected sensitivities for the strength of NSIs, ϵαβμμ\epsilon_{\alpha \beta}^{\mu \mu}, are presented at a 95%\% confidence level for a center-of-mass energy of 3 TeV and integrated luminosities of L=1\mathcal{L} = 1 and 10 ab110~\mathrm{ab}^{-1}, showcasing the complementarity between a muon collider and other experimental probes.
