| contents | Muon colliders provide an exciting new direction to expand the energy frontier of particle physics. We point out a new use of these facilities for neutrino and beyond the Standard Model physics using their main detectors. Muon decays along the accelerator rings create an intense and highly collimated neutrino beam that crosses a thin slice of the kt-scale detector. As a result, it would induce an unprecedented number of neutrino interactions, with $\mathcal{O}(10^4)$ events per second for a 10 TeV $μ^+μ^-$ collider. These interactions are highly energetic and possess a distinct timing signature and a large transverse displacement. We discuss promising applications of these events for instrumentation, electroweak, and beyond-the-Standard Model physics. For instance, a sub-percent measurement of the neutrino-electron scattering rate enables new precision measurements of the Weak angle and a novel detection of the neutrino charge radius. |
