THE MUON COLLIDER: GREAT DISCOVERY POTENTIAL IN A COMPACT ACCELERATOR
Interview with Daniel Schulte, researcher at CERN and study leader for the Muon Collider
In Europe, the particle physics community is investigating the possibility of building a particle collider based on a new technique and which could have enormous potential for discoveries and precision measurements at the energy frontier: the Muon Collider, an accelerator in which muons are accelerated and collided. This project was discussed also in the Italian national workshop “INFN and the European Strategy for Particle Physics”, which was held on May 6 and 7 in Rome and was well attended by the scientific community, including young researchers. During the workshop we met Daniel Schulte, CERN research who is coordinating the feasibility study for the Muon collider.
