The Case for a Muon Collider Higgs Factory

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2013-07-24 v1 Accelerator Physics

Abstract

We propose the construction of a compact Muon Collider Higgs Factory. Such a machine can produce up to \sim 14,000 at 8\times 10^{31} cm^-2 sec^-1 clean Higgs events per year, enabling the most precise possible measurement of the mass, width and Higgs-Yukawa coupling constants.
