Two options for muon-proton collider at FNAL
Abstract
We discuss a possibility to construct multi-TeV scale μp collider at FNAL. Main advantage of this project is existence of two ring tunnels tangential to each other. There are two possible options, namely, muons in main injector with protons in Tevatron ring and vice versa. Two choices are considered for center-of-mass energy values: 2.57 TeV using 8 T bending magnets and 5.10 TeV with 16 T magnets. It is shown that luminosity values exceeding 1033 cm-2s-1 can be achieved. It is obvious that μ-FNAL will provide unique potential for both SM (especially QCD basics) and BSM searches, far beyond the eRHIC and LHeC capacities.
