Bileptons from Muon Collider Backward Scattering

Abstract

There are serious discussions for building a muon collider with $μ^{+}μ^{-}$ collisions at c.o.m. energies up to 4 TeV. We point out that the bileptonic gauge bosons predicted in some extensions of the Standard Model would be readily discernable from the backward scattering cross-section, for bilepton masses up to a substantial fraction of the c.o.m. energy.
