Description
The full exploitation of the physics potential of a multi-TeV muon collider critically depends on the detector’s ability to cope with unprecedented levels of machine-induced backgrounds. This contribution introduces the MUSIC (MUon System for Interesting Collisions) detector concept and presents its expected performance in the context of √s = 10 TeV muon–antimuon collisions. MUSIC is specifically designed to mitigate the impact of machine-induced backgrounds while preserving high efficiency and precision in the reconstruction of physics events.
The detector features an advanced all-silicon tracking system, a semi-homogeneous lead–fluorite crystal electromagnetic calorimeter, an iron–scintillator sampling hadronic calorimeter, and a superconducting solenoid providing a 5 T magnetic field. Detailed detector simulations including the dominant machine-induced background sources are presented. The results demonstrate robust tracking performance, excellent photon, electron, and jet reconstruction capabilities, and strong jet flavor identification, highlighting the strong potential of the MUSIC detector for physics studies at a high-energy muon collider.
