We summarize the potential of muon colliders to probe fundamental physics. $W^+W^-$, \bar tt, and $Zh$ threshold measurements could determine masses to precisions $\Delta M_W = 6$ MeV, $\Delta m_t = 70$ MeV, and $\Delta m_h = 45$ MeV, to…

We study the feasibility of a precise measurement of the mass of a 120 GeV MSM Higgs boson through direct reconstruction of ZH->qqH events that would be achieved in a future e+e- linear collider operating at a center-of-mass energy of 500…
The direct s-channel coupling to Higgs bosons is 40000 times greater for muons than electrons; the coupling goes as mass squared. High precision scanning of the lighter $h^0$ and the higher mass $H^0$ and $A^0$ is thus possible with a muon…
