Physics with Like-Sign Muon Beams

Abstract

We point out that both the specific lepton number content and the high energies potentially attainable with muon-muon colliders make it advisable to consider the technical feasibility of including an option of like-sign incoming beams in the studies towards a proposal to build a muon-muon collider with center-of-mass energies in the TeV region. This capability will add some unique physics capabilities to the project. Special attention will have to be paid to polarization retention for the muons.
