WELCOME TO THE THIRD ANNUAL US MUON COLLIDER COLLABORATION MEETING

We invite you to the third meeting of the US Muon Collider community on December 13–16 at Stanford University. This will be an open meeting with the primary goal to engage broader participation in the muon collider effort, familiarize groups with the current status of physics, accelerator and detector developments, and discuss ways they can contribute to the effort. The meeting will be followed by the IMCC's Demonstrator Workshop at SLAC from Dec 16-18.

The main audience for the meeting are US-based physicists interested in working towards a Muon Collider as well as the physics it could cover, but all are welcome. Members of the leadership of the International Muon Collider Collaboration (IMCC) will present the status from Europe.

The meeting will start in the evening on Sunday December 13 with an HEP alumni connection event. A poster session, shared with the IMCC Demonstrator Workshop, will take place on Wednesday Dec 16 at SLAC, and a social dinner will happen Tuesday night.

The deadline for registration is December 1, 2026, with early bird pricing available until November 1.

      \sigma_{\mu\mu}: A Particle Physics Alumni Reunion 3h

      The US Muon Collider Collaboration is hosting an evening for physicists who left high-energy physics for industry and their new colleagues, to reconnect with old friends and New Physics.

      Come for the cocktail hour, hear the physics case for a 10 TeV muon collider, and let our community show you what building one actually takes and how you can help. Your physics brain misses you.
