# Resonant Production of Color Octet Muons at the Future Circular Collider Based Muon-Proton Colliders

## TL;DR

This paper explores the potential of future muon-proton colliders to produce color octet muons resonantly, showing they could surpass the discovery capabilities of current and planned colliders like the LHC and FCC pp.

## Contribution

It introduces the concept of using FCC-based muon-proton colliders for resonant production of color octet muons, highlighting their superior discovery potential.

## Key findings

-  p colliders have higher discovery potential than LHC.
- Resonant production of color octet muons is feasible at FCC-based  p colliders.
- FCC-based  p colliders could surpass FCC pp collider in discovering color octet muons.

## Abstract

We investigate the resonant production of color octet muons in order to explore the discovery potential of the FCC-based \mu p colliders. It is shown that search potential of \mu p colliders essentially surpass potential of the LHC and would exceed that of FCC pp collider.
