A Muon-Ion Collider at BNL: the future QCD frontier and path to a new energy frontier of ${\mu }^{+}{\mu }^{-}$ colliders

Darin Acosta, Wei Li

We propose the development and construction of a novel muon-ion collider (MuIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) in the USA as an upgrade to succeed the electron-ion collide…
