Summary
This report presents the collective assessment of the US Snowmass Muon Collider Forum regarding the feasibility and scientific merit of a multi-TeV muon collider as a next-generation particle physics facility. The Forum, comprising physicists and accelerator engineers, organised systematic evaluation of physics opportunities, technical requirements, and detector needs through monthly meetings and topical workshops. The synthesis represents broad community consensus on the machine's potential to deliver both precision measurements and high-energy frontier exploration in a clean leptonic environment.
UK applicability
This report is tangential to UK farming systems and food research. However, UK particle physics institutions and facilities involved in similar high-energy physics research may reference this assessment when evaluating participation in or support for international muon collider initiatives.
Key measures
Assessment of scientific viability, energy frontier exploration potential, precision measurement capabilities, accelerator technology readiness, and detector development pathways
Outcomes reported
The Muon Collider Forum synthesised community consensus on the scientific opportunities, accelerator technology development requirements, and detector research needs for a proposed multi-TeV muon collider facility. The report documents findings from monthly meetings and topical workshops organised across physics, accelerator technology, and detector R&D domains.
