Description
The 2025 ESPPU highlights the extended characterization of the Higgs potential as a priority for future experiments, as it allows the determination of the Standard Model vacuum stability and the test of various Beyond Standard Model hypotheses, paving the way for the study of the electroweak phase transition in the early Universe. A 10 TeV Muon Collider is predicted to produce O(10^4) double Higgs events in 5 Snowmass-years of operation. This and its relatively clean collision environment would allow a Muon Collider to measure the Higgs self-coupling down to the percent level. Also, a 10 Snowmass-years run could enable the determination of the Higgs’ quartic coupling, with an uncertainty of about 50%. This contribution discusses the expected accuracy of the double Higgs cross-section at a 10 TeV Muon Collider using detailed detector simulations, including physics and machine backgrounds.
