	Because muons connect directly to a standard-model Higgs particle in s-channel production, a muon collider would be an ideal device for precision measurement of the mass and width of a Higgs-like particle, and for further exploration of its production and decay properties. The LHC has seen evidence for a 126 GeV Higgs particle, and a muon collider at that energy could be constructed. Parameters of a high-precision muon collider are presented and the necessary components and performance are described. An important advantage of the muon collider approach is that the spin precession of the muons will enable energy measurements at extremely high accuracy (E/E to 10^-6 or better). Extension to a higher-energy higher-luminosity device is also discussed.

We present principles and tools to match emittances between and within muon beam cooling subsystems that may have different characteristics. The Helical Cooling Channel (HCC), which combines helical dipoles and a solenoid field, allows a general analytic approach to guide designs of transitions from one set of cooling channel parameters to another.

Considerable progress has been made in developing promising subsystems for muon beam cooling channels to provide the extraordinary reduction of emittance required for an Energy-Frontier Muon Collider, but lacks an end-to-end design. Meanwhile, the recent discovery of a Higgs-like boson has created interest in the High Energy physics community for a Higgs Factory to investigate its properties and verify whether it is Standard Model or beyond. We present principles and tools to match emittances between and within muon beam cooling subsystems that may have different characteristics. The Helical Cooling Channel (HCC), which combines helical dipoles and a solenoid field, allows a general analytic approach to guide designs of transitions from one set of cooling channel parameters to another. These principles and tools will be applied to design a complete cooling channel that would be applicable to a Higgs Factory and an Energy Frontier Muon Collider.
