Description
A muon collider is a unique option to achieve lepton collisions at the 10 TeV scale with high luminosity. The high muon mass suppresses beamstrahlung allowing to accelerate and collide the beams in rings. The limited lifetime of the muon, however, poses challenges and calls for technology and design innovations to make the first collider a possibility. An international collaboration is addressing these challenges. The presentation will introduce the concept, summarise the progress of the R&D and highlight the path to the future.
