On The Feasibility of a Pulsed 14 TeV c.m.e. Muon Collider in the LHC Tunnel

Understand

We discuss the technical feasibility, key machine parameters and major challenges of a 14 TeV c.m.e.

• muon-muon collider in the LHC tunnel.
• The luminosity of the collider is evaluated for three alternative muon sources - the PS synchrotron, one of a type developed by the US Muon Accelerator Program (MAP) and a low-emittance option based on resonant muon pair production.
• Project affordability is also discussed.
