Measuring longitudinally polarized vector boson scattering in, e.g., the ZZ channel is a promising way to investigate the unitarization scheme from the Higgs and possible new physics beyond the Standard Model. However, at the LHC, it demands the end of the HL-LHC lifetime luminosity, 3000/fb, and advanced data analysis technique to reach the discovery threshold due to its small production rates. Instead, there could be great potential for future colliders. In this paper, we perform a Monte Carlo study and examine the projected sensitivity of longitudinally polarized ZZ scattering at a TeV scale muon collider. We conduct studies at 14 TeV and 6 TeV muon colliders respectively and find that a 5 standard deviation discovery can be achieved at a 14 TeV muon collider, with 3000/fb of data collected. While a 6 TeV muon collider can already surpass HL-LHC, reaching 2 standard deviations with around 4000/fb of data. The effect from lepton isolation and detector granularity is also discussed, which may be more obvious at higher energy muon colliders, as the leptons from longitudinally polarized Z decays tend to be closer.

In modern technicolor models, there exist very narrow spin-zero and spin-one neutral technihadrons---$pi^0_T$, $rho^0_T$ and $omega_T$---with masses of a few 100 GeV. The large coupling of $pi^0_T$ to $mu^+mu^-$, the direct coupling of $rho^0_T$ and $omega_T$ to the photon and $Z^0$, and the superb energy resolution of the First Muon Collider may make it possible to resolve these technihadrons and produce them at extraordinarily large rates.

This paper focuses on a measurement of deeply virtual Compton scattering (DVCS) performed at Jefferson Lab using a nearly-6-GeV polarized electron beam, two longitudinally polarized (via DNP) solid targets of protons (NH3) and deuterons (ND3) and the CEBAF Large Acceptance Spectrometer. Here, preliminary results for target-spin asymmetries and double (beam-target) asymmetries for proton DVCS, as well as a very preliminary extraction of beam-spin asymmetry for neutron DVCS, are presented and linked to Generalized Parton Distributions.
The LHCb measurements of the $mu / e$ ratio in $B to K ell ell$ decays $(R_{K^{}})$ indicate a deficit with respect to the Standard Model prediction, supporting earlier hints of lepton universality violation observed in the $R_{K^{(*)}}$ ratio. Possi ble explanations of these $B$-physics anomalies include heavy $Z$ bosons or leptoquarks mediating $b to s mu^+ mu^- $. We note that a muon collider can directly measure this process via $mu^+ mu^- to b bar s$ and can shed light on the lepton non-universality scenario. Investigating currently discussed center-of-mass energies $sqrt{s} = 3$, 6 and 10 TeV, we show that the parameter space of $Z$ and $S_3$ leptoquark solutions to the $R_{K^{(*)}}$ anomalies can be mostly covered. Effective operators explaining the anomalies can be probed with the muon collider setup $sqrt{s} = 6~{rm TeV}$ and integrated luminosity $L = 4~{rm ab^{-1}}$.
We explore the sensitivity of directly testing the muon-Higgs coupling at a high-energy muon collider. This is strongly motivated if there exists new physics that is not aligned with the Standard Model Yukawa interactions which are responsible for th e fermion mass generation. We illustrate a few such examples for physics beyond the Standard Model. With the accidentally small value of the muon Yukawa coupling and its subtle role in the high-energy production of multiple (vector and Higgs) bosons, we show that it is possible to measure the muon-Higgs coupling to an accuracy of ten percent for a 10 TeV muon collider and a few percent for a 30 TeV machine by utilizing the three boson production, potentially sensitive to a new physics scale about $Lambda sim 30-100$ TeV.
We investigate the sensitivity of the projected TeV muon collider to the gauged $L^{}_{mu}$-$L^{}_{tau}$ model. Two processes are considered: $Z$-mediated two-body scatterings $mu^+ mu^- to ell^+ ell^-$ with $ell = mu$ or $tau$, and scattering with i nitial state photon emission, $mu^+ mu^- to gamma Z,~Z to ell overline{ell}$, where $ell$ can be $mu$, $tau$ or $ u_{mu/tau}$. We quantitatively study the sensitivities of these two processes by taking into account possible signals and relevant backgrounds in a muon collider experiment with a center-of-mass energy $sqrt{s} = 3~{rm TeV}$ and a luminosity $L=1~{rm ab^{-1}}$. For two-body scattering one can exclude $Z$ masses $M^{}_{Z} lesssim 100~{rm TeV}$ with $mathcal{O}(1)$ gauge couplings. When $M^{}_{Z} lesssim 1~{rm TeV} <sqrt{s}$, one can exclude $g gtrsim 2times 10^{-2}$. The process with photon emission is more powerful than the two-body scattering if $M^{}_{Z} < sqrt{s}$. For instance, a sensitivity of $g simeq 4 times 10^{-3}$ can be achieved at $M^{}_{Z} = 1~{rm TeV}$. The parameter spaces favored by the $(g-2)^{}_{mu}$ and $B$ anomalies with $M^{}_{Z} > 100~{rm GeV}$ are entirely covered by a muon collider.
