MUON SOURCES.

A full high energy muon collider may take considerable time to realize. However, intermediate steps in its direction are possible and could help facilitate the process. Employing an intense muon source to carry out forefront low energy research, such as the search for muon-number non-conservation, represents one interesting possibility. For example, the MECO proposal at BNL aims for 2 x 10{sup {minus}17} sensitivity in their search for coherent muon-electron conversion in the field of a nucleus. To reach that goal requires the production, capture and stopping of muons at an unprecedented 10{sup 11} {mu}/sec. If successful, such an effort would significantly advance the state of muon technology. More ambitious ideas for utilizing high intensity muon sources are also being explored. Building a muon storage ring for the purpose of providing intense high energy neutrino beams is particularly exciting.We present an overview of muon sources and example of a muon storage ring based Neutrino Factory at BNL with various detector location possibilities

MUON SOURCES, NEUTRINO FACTORY TO MU+- COLLIDERS.

Employing intense muon sources to carry out forefront low energy research, such as the search for muon - number non-conservation, or for the purpose of providing intense high energy neutrino beams ({nu}factory) represents very interesting possibilities. If successful, such efforts would significantly advance the state of muon technology and provides intermediate steps in technologies required for a future high energy muon collider complex. High intensity muon: production, capture, cooling, acceleration and multiturn muon storage rings are some of the key technology issues that needs more studies and development. A muon collider require basically same number of muons as for the muon storage ring Neutrino Factory, but would require more cooling, and simultaneous capture of both {+-}{mu}. We present an overview of Muon Sources - Neutrino Factories, example of a muon storage ring at BNL, and possible upgrades to a full Muon Collider

Higgs Factory and Potentials

Recent experimental results from LEP has generated new interest in potentials of a Higgs factory (as the first Muon collider). We present a conceptual overview of such a collider, required Luminosity, and some physics potentials. We illustrate the unlikely case where the muon radiative corrections results in a vanishing {mu}{sup +}{mu}{sup -}h vertex ({sigma} is zero), and how in such a case, the Neutral MSSM Higgs sector via resonant production of H and A may be possible at a muon collider

Polarization and Luminosity Requirements for the First Muon Collider

Muon Polarization and Luminosity requirement for physics studies at a muon collider are discussed. An overview of a muon collider concepts and design parameters for 0.1, 0.5, and 4 Tev muon colliders are also presented

Luminosity Requirements for Higgs Resonance Studies at the First Muon Collider

The results of the author`s Higgs resonance studies at the first Muon collider for the on resonance goal of L{sub ave} {approx_equal} 5 {times} 10{sup 30} per cm{sup {minus}2} and L{sub ave} {approx_equal} 5 {times} 10{sup 31} cm{sup {minus}2} is given. Their analysis indicates that L{sub ave} {approx_equal} 5 {times} 10{sup 30} cm{sup {minus}2} is too low and at least an additional order of magnitude increase in luminosity is needed. They investigated the effect of beam polarization on Higgs resonance signals and backgrounds (b{anti b}, {tau}{anti {tau}}, c{anti c}), angular distributions (forward-backward charge asymmetries) and the resulting effective enhancement of the Higgs signal relative to the background, as well as the reduction in scan time required for Higgs discovery
