Precision phenomenology at multi-TeV muon colliders
摘要
Future lepton colliders, such as those based on linear e+e− or circular μ+μ− accelerators, are expected to attain centre-of-mass energies in the multi-TeV range. In this regime the impact of QED and of weak radiation, in both the initial and the final state, can become a leading effect. By employing a general framework presented in a companion paper — suitable for any flavour of colliding leptons — we improve next-to-leading order electroweak predictions by including higher-order contributions, which encompass, but are not limited to, vector-boson-fusion processes. We apply this approach to the study of
