Description
This contribution explores the physics potential of a future muon collider operating at a center-of-mass energy of √s = 10 TeV for precision studies in the Higgs sector. Using a detailed detector simulation that incorporates the dominant sources of machine-induced background, the expected sensitivity to key Higgs processes is evaluated. These include measurements of the production cross sections for single Higgs production via vector boson fusion and double-Higgs production.
A central focus of the study is the determination of the Higgs boson trilinear self-coupling, a fundamental parameter for probing the structure of the Higgs potential and the nature of electroweak symmetry breaking. The analysis is performed within the framework of the MUSIC (MUon System for Interesting Collisions) detector concept, specifically optimized for the challenging muon collider environment, and assumes an integrated luminosity of 10 ab⁻¹ collected over five years of operation. The results highlight the exceptional potential of a multi-TeV muon collider to explore the Higgs sector with a level of precision unmatched by any other proposed future collider within a comparable timeframe.
