μ子对撞机:打开粒子物理学的新视野

Muon Colliders: Opening New Horizons for Particle Physics

Kenneth Long, Donatella Lucchesi, Mark Palmer, Nadia Pastrone, Daniel Schulte, Vladimir Shiltsev

摘要:

在过去的50年里,粒子对撞机可以说是粒子物理学最重要的仪器。随着它们变得越来越强大,它们被用来将我们的知识前沿推向以前未知的领域。大型强子对撞机是迄今为止能量最高的对撞机,希格斯玻色子就是在那里被发现的。要继续沿着这条路进入标准模型之外的Terra Promissa,需要能量达到甚至比LHC更大的对撞机。μ子束为探索能源前沿提供了巨大的潜力。由于μ子是一种基本粒子,它的全部能量可以在碰撞中获得,而质子则由夸克和胶子组成。然而,μ子束迅速衰减,这对对撞机提出了特殊的挑战。最近的研究表明,克服这一挑战所需的技术是在我们掌握之中,并可能提供一个具有成本效益和能源效率的选择,以继续我们的探索。一个新的国际合作正在形成,以汇集来自世界各地的不同专业知识和互补能力,以实现μ子对撞机作为下一代能源前沿发现机器。

英文摘要:

Particle colliders have arguably been the most important instruments for particle physics over the past 50 years. As they became more powerful, they were used to push the frontier of our knowledge into previously uncharted territory. The LHC, the highest energy collider to date, at which the Higgs boson was discovered, is a prime example. To continue along the road into the Terra Promissa beyond the Standard Model requires colliders with energy reach even greater than that of the LHC. Beams of muons offer enormous potential for the exploration of the energy frontier. Since the muon is a fundamental particle, its full energy is available in collisions in contrast to protons which are composed of quarks and gluons. However, muon beams decay rapidly, which presents a special challenge for a collider. Recent research indicates that the technologies required to overcome this challenge are within our grasp and may offer a cost-effective and energy-efficient option to continue our explorations. A new international collaboration is forming to bring together the diverse expertise and complementary capabilities from around the world to realize the muon collider as the next-generation energy-frontier discovery machine.
