论文摘要
我们建议在TEV量表上开发一种新型的Muon-Proton和Muon-Nucleus对撞机设施，该设施能够在新的方案中执行精确的深度非弹性散射测量，并在核和粒子物理学方面提供丰富的程序。当位于布鲁克黑文国家实验室，费米拉布（Fermilab）或塞恩（Cern）等设施时，这种设施可以播种或利用Muon-Antimuon对撞机的发展，并利用现有的强子加速器基础设施。我们讨论了几种对撞机配置的可能的能量和光度设计参数，并通过对深度非弹性散射运动学，HIGGS和矢量玻色子的生产，顶级夸克产生以及超越标准模型Leptoquark生产来说明了科学潜力。还提供了探测器设计注意事项和可能的发展路线图。
We propose the development of a novel muon-proton and muon-nucleus collider facility at the TeV scale that is capable of performing precision deep inelastic scattering measurements in new regimes and providing a rich program in nuclear and particle physics. Such a facility could seed, or leverage, the development of a muon-antimuon collider and make use of the existing hadron accelerator infrastructure when sited at a facility such as Brookhaven National Laboratory, Fermilab, or CERN. We discuss the possible energy and luminosity design parameters for several collider configurations, and illustrate the science potential with several studies on deep inelastic scattering kinematics, Higgs and vector boson production, top quark production, and beyond Standard Model leptoquark production. Detector design considerations and a possible road map toward development are also given.
