Precision W-Boson and Higgs Boson Mass Determinations at Muon Colliders
Abstract
Precise determinations of the masses of the boson and of the top quark could stringently test the radiative structure of the Standard Model (SM) or provide evidence for new physics. We analyze the excellent prospects at a muon collider for measuring and in the and threshold regions. With an integrated luminosity of 10 (100) fb, the W-boson mass could be measured to a precision of 20 (6) MeV, provided that theoretical and experimental systematics are understood. A measurement of MeV would constrain the mass of a GeV Higgs to about GeV. We demonstrate that a measurement at future colliders of the Bjorken process. With an integrated luminosity of it is possible to measure the Standard Model Higgs mass to within 45\mev at a collider for .
