abstract
Muon colliders have a great potential for high-energy physics. They can offer collisions of point-like particles at very high energies, since muons can be accelerated in a ring without limitation from synchrotron radiation. However, the need for high luminosity faces technical challenges which arise from the short muon lifetime at rest and the difficulty of producing large numbers of muons in bunches with small emittance. Addressing these challenges requires the development of innovative concepts and demanding technologies. The document summarizes the work done, the progress achieved and new recent ideas on muon colliders. A set of further studies and actions is also identified to advance in the field. Finally, a set of recommendations is listed in order to make the muon technology mature enough to be favourably considered as a candidate for high-energy facilities in the future.

A z=6.64 Little Red Dot host shows an AGN-driven ionised outflow reaching ~5500 km/s FWHM, with low mass-loading and clear LRD spectral signatures in the compact nucleus.
Agentic hybrid RAG with a new muon collider benchmark outperforms baselines in retrieval effectiveness, answer quality, evidence coverage, and factual grounding.
Calculations of cLFV cross sections in eμ scattering show the e−μ+ → W+W− channel at √s > 2MW offers better prospects for detecting heavy sterile neutrinos than the quartically suppressed e−μ+ → e+μ− process.
Muon collider sensitivity to dark Z' via radiative return versus vector boson fusion allows mixing parameter extraction from relative rates.
Muon colliders can probe heavy vector triplets up to 12 TeV, competitive with HE-LHC but below FCC-hh projections, including indirect electroweak precision limits.
Observing vector boson fusion production of a heavy scalar followed by decay to Z h1 at muon colliders can establish CP violation in the scalar sector because it requires both h2VV and h2h1Z couplings to be nonzero.
Radiative electroweak symmetry breaking with a logarithmic potential yields analytical vacuum solutions, four thermal history patterns, and supercooled FOPT gravitational waves whose signals combined with collider data can probe conformal scales to 10^5-10^8 GeV.
