[MAP] Muon Higgs Workshop

[David V Neuffer]

Dear friends and colleagues,

The MAP Collaboration will have a one-day mini-workshop to discuss a muon-muon Higgs Collider on Tuesday, November 13 at Fermilab.  Please note that this is the day before the ICFA workshop on Accelerators for a Higgs Factory: Linear vs. Circular (HF2012).

The mini-workshop will discuss the concept of a Muon Collider operating at the Higgs resonance, and discuss the challenges associated with this approach.  A Muon Collider can provide s-channel production of the  Higgs and can measure the Higgs mass and width to high accuracy, particularly if the muon polarization is used to calibrate the collision energy.  The muon collider approach has unique challenges in beam intensity, muon collection, cooling and acceleration and in detector design and background management.  Exploration of these challenges will be initiated in preparation for further development in the 2-day UCLA Higgs Factory Collider Workshop, which will be held in early 2013.  The output of this workshop will also contribute to presentations and discussions on the muon-muon Higgs Collider option at CSS2013.
A workshop website will  soon be available for more information and to register.

We hope to see you in November!
