Abstract
We analyze the design of a high energy μ + μ − collider based on electro-production of muons. We derive an expression for the luminosity in terms of analytic formulae for the electron-to-muon conversion efficiency and the electron beam power on the production target. On the basis of studies of self-consistent sets of collider parameters under “realistic” (“optimistic”) assumptions about available technology with beam cooling, we find the luminosity limited to 10 27 cm −2 s −1 (10 28 cm −2 s −1). We also identify major technological innovations that will be required before μ +μ − colliders can offer sufficient luminosity (10 30 cm −2 s −1) for high energy physics research.
