Summary
This report documents the proceedings and conclusions of the US Snowmass Muon Collider Forum, a cross-frontier collaboration established to evaluate the scientific and technological prospects of a multi-TeV muon collider. The Forum synthesises discussions from the particle physics community on the physics potential, accelerator feasibility, and detector development required for such a facility, representing a significant body of expert consensus on next-generation energy frontier exploration. The report reflects broad interest within the US particle physics community, including substantial participation from early-career researchers.
UK applicability
This report addresses fundamental physics infrastructure strategy primarily within a US context through the Snowmass planning process. Its applicability to the United Kingdom would depend on potential international collaboration arrangements or UK participation in future muon collider projects, which are not discussed in the abstract.
Key measures
Not applicable — this is a forum report documenting technology development pathways rather than quantitative measurements
Outcomes reported
The report summarises findings from the Muon Collider Forum regarding the feasibility, physics potential, and technological requirements for constructing a multi-TeV muon collider. It consolidates outcomes from monthly Forum meetings and dedicated topical workshops on physics, accelerator technology, and detector R&D conducted since November 2020.
