Artificial Intelligence for Muon Colliders (AI4MuC) Virtual Mini-Workshop

US/Central
Description

As artificial intelligence becomes an increasingly important strategic priority in the United States and a powerful tool for the design of future high-energy physics facilities, we are pleased to announce the Artificial Intelligence for Muon Colliders (AI4MuC) virtual mini-workshop, to be held June 29-30, 2026, via Zoom.  This mini workshop is organized is intended as a preparatory meeting, providing an opportunity to develop ideas and perform groundwork in advance of a potential broader AI for Future Colliders workshop later this year and future funding calls. While organized by USMCC, membership in the collaboration is not required for participation in the mini-workshop.

The goal of this workshop is to bring together experts from across frontiers to brainstorm and identify pathways toward developing an AI-native design and technology framework for a future Muon Collider.
