Abstract

We discuss prospects of deep inelastic scattering physics capabilities at the future muon collider facility. In addition to mu^+ mu^- collider itself, the facility provides other possibilities. Among the possibilities, we present muon-proton collider and neutrino fixed target programs at the muon collider facility. This mu-p collider program extends kinematic reach and luminosity by an order of magnitude, increasing the possibility of search for new exotic particles. Perhaps most intriguing DIS prospects come from utilizing high intensity neutrino beam resulting from continuous decays of muons in various sections of the muon collider facility. One of the most interesting findings is a precision measurement of electroweak mixing angle, sin^2theta_W, which can be achieved to the precision equivalent to delta M_W ~ 30 MeV.
