Description

A multi-TeV muon collider provides a unique environment for future precision Higgs measurements, combining the lower backgrounds of lepton colliders with higher energy reach than achievable at an $e^+e^-$ collider. The large branching fraction of the Higgs boson to jets and lower hadronic backgrounds compared to $pp$ colliders potentially allows the channel to be a clean probe of the Higgs couplings to quarks and electroweak bosons. We study the possible sensitivity to this channel through the dominant vector boson fusion production mechanism.
