Abstract

We discuss the capabilities of future muon colliders to resolve important particle physics questions. A collider with c.m. energy s=100\sqrt s = 100 to 500~GeV offers the unique opportunity to produce Higgs bosons in the ss-channel and thereby measure the Higgs masses, total widths and several partial widths to high precision. At this same machine, ttˉt\bar t and W+WW^+W^- threshold studies would yield superior precision in the determination of mtm_t and mWm_W. A multi-TeV μ+μ\mu^+\mu^- 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.
