The U.S. Muon Accelerator Program is conducting a multi-year R&D program to evaluate the feasibility of the technologies required for a Neutrino Factory and Muon Collider. The design concepts for a Higgs Factory and multi-TeV Muon Collider are described and the status of the major R&D activities for these machines are summarized. The potential for a high energy physics facility based on muon accelerator technology is discussed.

  Muon-based facilities offer a unique potential to provide capabilities at both the Intensity Frontier with Neutrino Factories and the Energy Frontier with Muon Colliders ranging from the Higgs energy to the multi-TeV energy range. They rely on novel technology with challenging parameters, which are currently being evaluated by the U.S. Muon Accelerator Program (MAP). A realistic scenario for a complementary series of staged facilities with increasing complexity and significant physics potential at each stage has been developed. It takes advantage of and leverages the capabilities already planned for Fermilab, especially Project X Stage II and LBNE. Each stage is defined in such a way to provide an R&D platform to validate the technologies required for subsequent stages. The rationale and sequence of the staging process, as well as the critical issues to be addressed at each stage, are presented.
