Review of muon-proton and muon-nucleus collier proposals

Construction of future Muon Collier (or dedicated mu-ring) tangential to the energy frontier hh colliders will give opportunity to realize mu p and mu A collisions at multi-TeV center-of-mass energies with sufficiently high luminosities. Obviously, such colliders will essentially enlarge the physics search potential of corresponding muon and hadron colliders for both the SM (especially for clarifying QCD basics and confinement hypothesis) and BSM phenomena. In addition, they will provide parton distribution functions for adequate interpretation of energy frontier hh colliders' and cosmic ray experiments data. This paper is devoted to review of main parameters of mu h colliders proposed until now.

Automated summary

This paper reviews the main parameters of proposed mu h colliders, emphasizing the importance of these colliders in expanding the physics search potential for the standard model and BSM phenomena, as well as providing a basis for interpreting data from energy frontier hh colliders and cosmic ray experiments.
