Abstract:
We summarize the potential of muon colliders to probe fundamental physics. W +W W~+W~-, \bar tt, and ZhZh threshold measurements could determine masses to precisions ΔMW=6\Delta M_W = 6 MeV, Δmt=70\Delta m_t = 70 MeV, and Δmh=45\Delta m_h = 45 MeV, to test electroweak radiative corrections. With ss-channel Higgs production, unique to a muon collider, the Higgs mass could be pinpointed (Δmh<1\Delta m_h < 1 MeV) and its width measured. The other Higgs bosons of supersymmetry can be produced and studied by three methods. If instead the WWWW sector turns out to be strongly interacting, a 4 TeV muon collider is ideally suited to its study.
