As a collider phenomenologist, I spend a lot of my time thinking about what kinds of theories we can study with terrestrial experiments like colliders, and what we need from colliders to study motivated physical phenomena. This path has brought me into close collaboration with the muon collider community. Since a muon collider is a novel technology, you can read a bit here to get a crash-course in why theorists, experimentalists, and accelerator physicists alike are all excited by its possible realization.
Note, this page is a work in progress! Check back later if you see it in the unfinished form.
What is a Muon Collider? #
A muon collider is a hypothetical future collider. This machine would collider muons and anti-muons at energies far beyond what we have been able to study at previous and current collider experiments. With higher energies, we can look further back into the evolution of the universe, and see if there were yet undiscovered particles that contribute to some of the currently unexplained phenomena we observe now..
