Summary

This theoretical physics paper investigates the detection of electroweak-interacting dark matter models at future muon colliders. The authors demonstrate that a 3 TeV muon collider possesses sufficient sensitivity to reconstruct soft charged particle tracks produced when quasidegenerate charged states decay into dark matter, thereby enabling discovery of thermal Higgsino candidates—a theoretically well-motivated dark matter scenario.

UK applicability

This paper is not applicable to UK agricultural, farming systems, soil health, or human nutrition research. It concerns fundamental particle physics and collider detector technology.

Key measures

Soft track detection sensitivity at 3 TeV muon collider; discovery potential for thermal Higgsinos and similar dark matter candidates

Outcomes reported

The study demonstrates theoretical and experimental capability of a 3 TeV muon collider to detect soft charged particle tracks produced in dark matter decay events. It shows that such a collider can enable discovery of thermal Higgsino dark matter candidates.
