PHYSICS POTENTIAL OF MUON COLLIDERS AND LINEAR COLLIDERS. COMPARISON. Ilya F.Ginzburg Institute of Mathematics. 630090. Novosibirsk. Russia ( E-mail: [email protected]) I discuss the physics potential of photon colliders in the fields which was not discussed in the other reports at Conference. Muon colllider will supplement substantially the photon colliders in the study of problems in gauge boson physics. These colliders provide the best place for study of above problems. Besides, muon eolliders will give quite new field in the study of problems in QCD. 1

I present here the monochromatic variant of 7 7 / e 7 collider (see [1]). Besides, the supermonochromatic variant of 7 7 / e 7 collider can be realized with E~ ~ 0.95E, A E / E ~ 1 + 1.5%, £.~.y = 0.05, £ ~ .~ 0.2. I will use below abbreviations: LC - for all linear colliders, PLC - for photon colliders (e7 and 77). POSSIBLE SOURCES DIFFERENCE

For the e 7 / 7 7 collision the similar cross sections either tends to energy independent constant or decreases with s, but more slow than in the e + e - / # + # - collision. • The angular distribution of secondaries is roughly isotropic in e + e - / # + # - collisions.

Key points in program used these features

My first impression was that the first point provides really new option for the muon collider. The finite beam size effect kills this option [2]. The next two points provide the spectacular options in the study of Higgs and its SUSY partners. It was discussed in the excellent report of J. Gunion at this conference. The main strategy here will be - - discovery of Higgs at hadron colliders or LC, the measuring of its two-photon width at PLC and detail study of Higgs at muon collider. The higher luminosity provides new option in detail study of t-quark production and CP Violation. These opportunities were discussed in the reports of D. Amedei and A. Soni at this conference. Next, there are almost evident additional opportunities of muon coUider in discovery of new particles related to its higher energy and hminosity. I will not discuss them. I will discuss problems in gauge boson physics and QCD, based on the last three features of muon colliders. I only mark these problems. The detail studies are necessary here.

Gauge boson physics

After first results at LEP the main problem in this field will be to test S M mutually. In particular, . It is necessary to describe the delicate details of SM itself, including detail description of SM as the gauge theory of UNSTABLE particles (this theory is absent now). I expect nontrivial effects here at the level a ( F w / M w ) ,,~ 10 -3. Therefore, one should see processes with 1 - 10 millions events. The e+e - LC and muon

colliders will give much lower statistics. The PLC's provide here the best opportunities. 2.

We hope to see violations of SM obliged by some underlying interactions. It will be manifest itself as some set of anomalous interactions of gauge bosons. The separation of these anomalies is necessary to understand possible nature of this underlying interaction. The detail study of wide set of processes with W and Z production can separate effects from different anomalies. The classification of possible processes from this point of view is the problem for nearest future. In this problem PLC and muon colliders supplement each other.

3. The third field is the strong interaction in Higgs sector at the energies above 1 TeV (if it exists). This strong interaction should manifest itself in the processes with production of longitudinal W and Z. The processes like 77 ~ W L W L seemed observable at PLC. However, (due to gauge invariance of EM interaction) the fraction of WL in the produced W is expected to be small. One can expect the better opportunities in the processes like # + # u P Z Z at the collider with higher energy and luminosity. . The study of W decay with high accuracy will give new information about CP violation and the delicate details of interaction of gauge fields with the matter. 3.1

Photon

Colliders

The e7 and 77 colliders provide the best opportunities in the discussed studies. They will be W-factories with production of about 10 millions W's per year [3],[4].

The additional difference with the e+e - colriders is in the better opportunity to study the reactions with initial Z*.

Q C D and hadron physics

Muon coll]der with high luminosity provides opportunity to study the QCD processes in the new region. The W W fluxes (4,5,6) show opportunity to study with the reasonable rate the processes like (7*/Z*)(7*/Z*) ~ hadrons, (7*/Z*)W* ~ hadrons, ..

What is here B F K L Pomeron? What is here Odderon ? In addition to new region of parameters, the new problems could be studied here - How are the specific features of hadronic processes, initiated by charged current ( W ) instead of neutral one ? How are the effects due to P nonconservation (with the 7 / Z initial state) and, perhaps effects of CP violation ?
