The MAIA Detector for a 10 TeV Muon Collider

• Benjamin John Rosser (University of Chicago (US))

Muon colliders have recently emerged as an exciting option to access the 10 TeV energy scale. However, significant research and development is required to address the fundamental challenge that muons are unstable, and will decay continuously while moving through an accelerator complex. In addition, any detector will see a very large beam-induced background (BIB) from the decay of muons in the colliding beams. In this talk, I will introduce and motivate the concept of a muon collider, discuss some of the broader challenges, and then present MAIA (Muon Accelerator Instrumented Apparatus), a proposed detector design for a 10 TeV muon collider.
