Abstract

We have studied anomalous four-photon couplings in the μ+μμ+γγμ\mu^+\mu^- \rightarrow \mu^+ \gamma\gamma \mu^- scattering at a future muon collider. The collision energies of 3 TeV, 14 TeV, and 100 TeV are addressed. Both differential and total cross sections versus invariant mass of the outgoing photons are calculated. The best 95\% C.L. exclusion bounds on anomalous couplings are obtained to be g1=2.23×108g_1 = 2.23 \times 10^{-8} TeV4^{-4} and g2=4.22×108g_2 = 4.22 \times 10^{-8} TeV4^{-4}. They correspond to the muon collision energy of 100 TeV. The partial-wave unitary constraints on g1g_1 and g2g_2 are examined. We have demonstrated that the unitarity is not violated in a region of the anomalous couplings obtained in the present paper.
