Description
Muon Collider is a unique machine that allows to achieve with a single facility both high energy reach and clean collision signature in a small environmental footprint. In particular, a collider with the centre-of-mass energy of 10 TeV is the long-term target of the ongoing international design study, while lower intermediate energies are also considered. Despite its much smaller size and lower energy consumption, the discovery potential of a 10-TeV Muon Collider would be comparable to that of the FCC-hh with its 100 TeV centre-of-mass energy.
A number of technological challenges must be overcome for making this project a reality, both at the accelerator, detector and computing sides. This contribution will provide an overview of the key technological aspects that set Muon Collider apart from other Future Collider experiments as well as potential synergies. It will also present the latest developments in each direction as part of preparation towards the next European Strategy for Particle Physics Update and the first demonstrator project.
