In the last four years, several new techniques to cool muon beams have been invented and are under development supported by US DOE Small Business Innovation Research grants. These new techniques will be described as well as their use to enable a high-luminosity, energy-frontier muon collider based on the superconducting RF cavities being developed for the International Linear Collider. Preliminary steps toward the collider include a six-dimensional muon cooling demonstration experiment, a neutrino factory based on effective muon cooling, and a lower-energy muon collider to study Higgs particles.
