The Physics Case for an Electron-Muon Collider by Meng Lu, Andrew Michael Levin, Congqiao Li, Antonios Agapitos, Qiang Li, Fanqiang Meng, Sitian Qian, Jie Xiao, Tianyi Yang

“…The collision of an electron and muon beam leads to less physics background compared with either an electron-electron or a muon-muon collider, since electron-muon interactions proceed mostly through higher-order vector boson fusion and vector boson scattering processes. The asymmetric collision profile results in collision products that are boosted towards the electron beam side, which can be exploited to reduce beam-induced background from the muon beam to a large extent. …”
