The status of the research on muon colliders is discussed and plans are outlined for future theoretical experimental studies. Besides continued work parameters a 3-4 0.5 TeV center-of-mass (CoM) energy collider, many studies now concentrating machine near 0.1 that could be factory s-channel production Higgs particles. We discuss various components in such colliders, starting from proton accelerator needed to generate pions heavy-Z target proceeding through phase rotation decay ($\pi \to \mu...
The High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) project aims at accumulating 3000 <formula formulatype="inline" xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"><tex Notation="TeX">${\rm fb}^{-1}$</tex></formula> in the years 2023–2035, i.e., ten times more w.r.t. nominal performance expected for 2010–2021. One key element to reach this challenging is a new insertion region reduce beam size interaction point by approximately factor two. This requires larger aperture...
A muon collider represents the ideal machine to reach very high center-of-mass energies and luminosities by colliding elementary particles. This is result of low level beamstrahlung synchrotron radiation compared linear or circular electron-positron colliders. In contrast with other lepton machines, design a detector for multi-TeV requires detailed knowledge interaction region due significant backgrounds created beam decays in ring. The physics can be properly evaluated only when performance...
Abstract Renewed international interest in muon colliders motivates the continued investigation of impacts beam-induced background on detector performance. This continues effort initiated by Muon Accelerator Program and carried out until 2017. The from decays directly performance must be mitigated optimizing overall machine design, with particular attention paid to interface region. In order produce events study their characteristics coordination collider optimization, a flexible simulation...
The MARS15(2012) is the latest version of a multi-purpose Monte-Carlo code developed since 1974 for detailed simulation hadronic and electromagnetic cascades in an arbitrary 3-D geometry shielding, accelerator, detector spacecraft components with energy ranging from fraction electronvolt to 100 TeV.Driven by needs intensity frontier projects their Megawatt beams, e.g., ESS, FAIR Project X, has been recently substantially improved extended.These include inclusive exclusive particle event...
Luminosity-driven channeling extraction has been observed for the first time in a 900 GeV study at Fermilab Tevatron. This experiment, E853, demonstrated that useful TeV level beams can be extracted from superconducting accelerator during high luminosity collider operations without unduly affecting background detectors. Multi-turn was found to increase significantly efficiency of process. The beam about 25%. Studies dependent effects turn-to-turn structure governed mainly by dynamics. An...

Bent silicon crystals mounted on high-accuracy angular actuators were installed in the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) and extensively tested to assess feasibility of crystal-assisted collimation circular hadron colliders. The adopted layout was exploited regularly upgraded for about a decade by UA9 Collaboration. investigations provided compelling evidence strong reduction beam losses induced nuclear inelastic interactions aligned comparison with amorphous orientation. A conceptually...
The physics goals of a Muon Collider (MC) can only be achieved with appropriate, self-consistent designs the ring, interaction region (IR), high-field superconducting magnets, machine-detector interface (MDI) and detector. Recent results from realistically-implemented simulation studies are presented here for 1.5-TeV MC. It is shown that if IR MDI designed appropriate shielding, background rates significantly suppressed in MC main characteristics these backgrounds also presented.
We propose the construction of, and describe in detail, a compact Muon Collider s-channel Higgs Factory.
