About the workshop
This is the organizing workshop for the study of physics, detectors and
backgrounds at a Muon Collider in the 1.5 to 5 TeV energy range
(a benchmark 1.5 TeV and 3.0 TeV machine parameters).
This study will draw on the
previous work on Muon Colliders but update
and reevaluate the possibilities in light of the substantial recent advances.
The goal of the workshop is
to deliver within one year a report on the physics potential of such
a Muon Collider. This study should set requirements on luminosity, energy,
determine acceptable background event rates and suggest feasible methods
of attaining these levels. The impact of the polarized beams, energy spread,
and detector fuducial volume should be evaluated. The physics opportunities
should be compared to the CLIC option and take account of the substantial
running of LHC after a luminosity upgrade.
Synergies with the ILC/CLIC and LHC detector R&D should be exploited.
The workshop is organized by Estia Eichten from Fermilab (chair), Ken Peach from
University of Oxford and Royal Holloway, University of London (co-chair), and
Jaco Konigsberg from University of Florida (co-chair). The entire organizing committee
and administrative support can be found
here.
There will be three Working Groups - Physics, Detectors, and Machine-Detector
Interface (MDI).
Each of these studies are essential to determining the overall
physics potential at a Muon Collider.
- Physics WG: conveners - Aryes Freitas
and Tao Han
Study the various Beyond the Standard Model physics opportunities
(SUSY, Extra Dimensions, Little Higgs, Strong Dynamics, etc.)
at the Muon Collider. Set energy and luminosity requirements
for the various physics options. Develop Monte Calro studies
to Explore dependence on polarization, beam energy spread,
angular coverage of the detector. Compare to CLIC.
- Detectors WG: conveners - John Hauptman
and Sergey Klimenko
Determine the design requirements for detectors at the
Muon Collider. Specifications for performance,
background rejection, radiation tolerance, calibration and
triggering are to be developed. Synergies with ILC/CLIC and
LHC detector R&D will be identified and exploited. Develop
a simulation framework in colaboration with the physics and
MDI working groups.
- MDI (Machine-Detector Interface) WG: conveners -
Nikolai Mokhov and Bob Palmer
Study the detector backgrounds for a Muon Collider. Determine how
to reduce this to an acceptable level. Starting with the existing
shielding design look for opportunities for improvement. Consider
how to make precise luminosity measurements and measure the beam
energy and spread. Study how to reduce the effects of muon decays.
