A 2020 physics critique report for Year 4 MSci Physics with Particle Physics & Cosmology with the University of Birmingham, School of Physics & Astronomy. Muon colliders are a proposed next-generation particle accelerator which benefit from the muon's fundamentality and relatively high mass to perform simultaneous high precision, high energy experiments. This critique reviews their physics potential and technological feasibility, then proposes a roadmap for how a 3 TeV muon collider could be built, concluding that it is experimentally possible for a muon collider to be operational in 30 years.
