Why a Muon Collider? • CONs: • Muons decay in 2.2 μ s ! • The whole chain (generation, acceleration, interaction) must be very quick ! 4

Why a Muon Collider? • CONs: • Muons decay in 2.2 μ s ! • The whole chain (generation, acceleration, interaction) must be very quick ! • Traditional muon production scheme leads to large emittance beams: 
 p + target ➝ π /K ➝ μ • Muons are produced with a variety of angles and energies (P μ ~100MeV/c) • Cooling needed! 
 ➜ tradeoff monochromaticity/luminosity 4
