Luminosity and physics considerations on HL-LHC–and HE-LHC–based μp colliders

Abstract

Abstract Construction of the future muon collider tangential to the Large Hadron Collider will give opportunity to realize μp collisions at multi-TeV center-of-mass energies. Using the nominal parameters of high-luminosity and high-energy upgrades of the LHC, as well as the design parameters of muon colliders, it is shown that L μp of the order of 1033 cm−2s−1 is achievable for different options with from 4.58 TeV to 12.7 TeV. Certainly, the proposed μp colliders have a huge potential for clarifying QCD basics and searches for new physics.
