Abstract

Construction of future Muon Collider (or dedicated mu-ring) tangential to the energy frontier pp colliders will give opportunity to realize mu-p collisions at multi-TeV center of mass energies at a luminosity of order of $10^{33}$ cm$^{-2}$s$^{-1}$ ($10^{34}$ cm$^{-2}$s$^{-1}$). Obviously, such colliders will essentially enlarge the physics search potential of corresponding muon and hadron colliders for both the SM (especially for clarifying QCD basics) and BSM phenomena. This paper is devoted to review of main parameters of mu-p colliders proposed until now.
