Description

Muon colliders offer enormous potential for the exploration of the particle physics frontiers, but addressing the challenges associated with their feasibility  requires the development of innovative concepts and demanding technologies.

Following the recommendation of the most recent update of the European Strategy for Particle Physics on the development of an innovative Accelerator R&D Roadmap, the Laboratory Directors Group initiated the formation of an international collaboration on muon colliders hosted by CERN. The collaboration will organise and define the roadmap towards a muon collider conceptual design report by the next Strategy update and carry out the related R&D programme.

Physics potential and detector studies have to be developed in parallel and in synergy with the collider design. In this context, the workshop aims at:  

  • assessing the state of the art,
  • exploring the interplay between the physics potential and the detector design,
  • defining the directions for future work. 

The workshop will feature a series of invited talks, followed by abundant time for discussion and will be held virtually on zoom.

You are kindly invited to register to the event to receive the connection details.
