New Particles and Interactions at High Energy Muon Colliders
نویسنده
چکیده
I give an overview of the ability of a high energy μμ collider to discover new particles and interactions. I start with heavy fermions which will be the most straightforward to produce and observe. I then discuss single leptoquark production which is produced via the quark content of the photon and the discovery potential for extra gauge bosons which will manifest themselves via deviations of observables from their standard model values. Finally, contact interactions are studied as the generalization of looking for new interactions via deviations from the standard model.

The muon-proton (μp) collider is an interesting option of the muon collider. Here we discuss the physics potential of the μp collider; especially, leptoquarks and contact interactions. We calculate the sensitivity reach for the second generation leptoquarks and leptogluons, R-parity violating squarks, and μq contact interactions for the μp colliders of various energies and luminosities. INTRODU...

It is well known that at linear ee (ee) colliders using laser backscattering one can obtain colliding γγ, γe beams with energy and luminosity comparable to those in ee collisions. In this paper, it is explained why this can not be done at high energy muon colliders. Due to several physics reasons the γγ luminosity is suppressed here by a factor of 10 ! Another option – γ’s from a linear collide...

An overview is given of muon collider technology and of the current status of the muon collider research program. The exciting potential of muon colliders for both neutrino physics and collider physics studies is then described and illustrated using self-consistent collider parameter sets at 0.1 TeV to 100 TeV center-of-mass energies.

Neutrino radiation is expected to impose major design and siting constraints on many-TeV muon colliders. Previous predictions for radiation doses at TeV energy scales are briefly reviewed and then modified for extension to the many-TeV energy regime. The energy-cubed dependence of lower energy colliders is found to soften to an increase of slightly less than quadratic when averaged over the pla...
متن کاملOverview of Physics at a Muon Collider * I Introduction
Muon colliders offer special opportunities to discover and study new physics. With the high intensity source of muons at the front end, orders of magnitude improvements would be realized in searches for rare muon processes, in deep inelastic muon and neutrino scattering experiments, and in long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiments. At a 100 to 500 GeV muon collider, neutral Higgs boson (or...
