IMCC and MuCol Annual Meeting 2024
The third Annual Meeting of the International Muon Collider Collaboration and the first MuCol Annual Meeting will take place from 12 to 15 March 2024. The meeting will be hosted by CERN. Participation via Zoom will be made possible for people who cannot attend in person.
The meeting will cover all areas of study and development, focusing on:
(i) The result of the first iteration on the muon collider parameters, as far as physics, detectors, accelerator performance and technology are concerned, including considerations on staging;
(ii) The status of technical feasibility, the issues that have been identified in this initial phase of the study, first projections of theย required R&D, and the plan for demonstrators;
(iii) The advance of work with respect to the IMCC and MuCol programme and milestones.
As for our previous meetings, we wish to profit from this opportunity to strengthen integration among the various activities and collaboration. Special attention will be devoted to the outcome of the US P5 process, and its implications for future activities.
