Particle Physics Opportunities at $\mu^+\mu^-$ Colliders
Abstract
We discuss the capabilities of future muon colliders to resolve important particle physics questions. A collider with c.m. energy to 500~GeV offers the unique opportunity to produce Higgs bosons in the -channel and thereby measure the Higgs masses, total widths and several partial widths to high precision. At this same machine, and threshold studies would yield superior precision in the determination of and . A multi-TeV collider would open up the realm of physics above the 1 TeV scale, allowing, for example, copious production of supersymmetric particles up to the highest anticipated masses or a detailed study of the strongly-interacting scenario of electroweak symmetry breaking.
