Hi, This is Yen-Chu Chen of CDF. I went to the Muon Collider meeting some time ago but got too busy to continue. For sure after the discovery of a Higgs like particle such accelerator proposal is very interesting and important for the future. However 250 GeV sounds a very well focused energy to study Higgs particle. How about 400 GeV, which allows both Higgs and top quark physics? Generating top quark pairs via electron-positron annihlation, together with a good detector, can produce a very precise measurement of the top quark mass. The production asymmetry of top quark can also be studied in e- e+ (or mu- mu+) collision. Maybe more expansive but we pay more and gain much more. Best regards, Yen-Chu 於 2012/7/24 上午 08:40, Adam Para 提到: > Ron, > good and timely idea. I am wondering if we should not include into the list of topics to discuss/evaluate two circular machines at 250 GeV, one muon and one electron based. This kind of options are likely to surface at Snowmass and more work is done in a coherent fashion - more useful the discussions at Snowmass will be. > > Adam Para > > > On Jul 24, 2012, at 8:28, "Ron Lipton" <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > >> I would like to restart our Muon Collider meetings with a meeting Wednesday, Aug 1 at >> 11:30 in the FIshtank at Fermilab.
