Besides continued work on the parameters of a 3-4 and 0.5 TeV CoM collider, many studies are now concentrating on a machine near 100 GeV that could be a factory for the s-channel production of Higgs particles. We mention the research on the…
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,…
High luminosity muon-muon colliders would provide a powerful new probe of Higgs boson physics through $s$-channel resonance production. We discuss the prospects for detection of Higgs bosons and precision measurements of their masses and…
With the recent hints of the Higgs boson from the LHC and a mass near 125 GeV/c we re-propose to study and build a muon collider Higgs factory to study the Higgs in the S channel [1]. This was first proposed in 1992 by the first author. It…
Because muons connect directly to a standard-model Higgs particle in s-channel production, a muon collider would be an ideal device for precision measurement of the mass and width of a Higgs-like particle, and for further exploration of its…
We outline the unique role of a muon collider as a Higgs factory for Higgs boson resonance production in the $s$-channel. Physics examples include: the precision measurements of the Higgs mass and total width, and the resulting ability to…
The prospects for a muon collider operated as a Higgs factory are reviewed. The large muon mass means that the s-channel Higgs production mechanism is available, and simultaneously suppresses bremsstrahlung so that the beam energy spread…
A brief review of muon-collider $s$-channel Higgs physics in the Standard Model and its minimal supersymmetric extension is presented.
We review the role of a muon collider in the study of Higgs bosons via production in the s-channel. Very precise measurements of a Standard Model-like Higgs boson mass and total width can be performed, and may lead to a discrimination…
The status of the research on muon colliders is discussed and plans are outlined for future theoretical and experimental studies. Besides continued work on the parameters of a 3-4 and 0.5 TeV center-of-mass (CoM) energy collider, many…
The $s$-channel resonant production of the Higgs boson at a 125 GeV muon collider enables a unique way to determine the Higgs properties. However, a clear picture of the achievable Higgs precision has not yet been established. We perform a…
A low-energy Muon Collider (MC) offers unique opportunities to study the recently found Higgs boson. However, due to a relatively large beam emittance with moderate cooling in this machine, large-aperture high- field superconducting (SC)…
The recent discovery of the Higgs particle of 125 GeV has revised the interest of the so-called Higgs factory, namely of a mu+mu- collider with adequately cooled intensity of about 6 10^12 muons of each sign, a repetition rate of 15-50 p/s…
Muon-based accelerators have the potential to enable facilities at both the Intensity and the Energy Frontiers. Muon storage rings can serve as high precision neutrino sources, and a muon collider is an ideal technology for a TeV or…
We describe the status of our effort to realize a first neutrino factory and the progress made in understanding the problems associated with the collection and cooling of muons towards that end. We summarize the physics that can be done…
We consider single charged Higgs ($H^{\pm}$) and pseudoscalar Higgs ($A^0$) production in association with a gauge boson at $\mu^+\mu^-$ colliders. We find that the tree-level t-channel and s-channel contributions to $\mu^+\mu^-\to…
We calculate Higgs production cross sections at a muon collider in the Two Higgs Doublet Model of type II. The most interesting productions channels are mu^- mu^+ --> h^0 Z^0, H^0 Z^0, H^- H^+, A^0 Z^0 and H^{-/+} W^{+/-}. The last channel…
Tagging efficiencies and purities are estimated for the decay modes H -> b-bbar, H -> tau-taubar and H -> c-cbar of Higgs bosons produced at an s-channel muon collider Higgs factory.
During the 1990s an international collaboration has been studying the possibility of constructing and operating a high-energy high-luminosity $\mu^+\mu^-$ collider. Such a machine could be the approach of choice to extend our discovery…
In light of the recent discovery of an approximately 126 GeV Higgs boson at the LHC, the particle physics community is beginning to explore the possibilities for a next-generation Higgs factory particle accelerator. In this report we study…
