The International Muon Collider Collaboration (IMCC) [1] was established 
in 2020 following the recommendations of the European Strategy for 
Particle Physics (ESPP) and the implementation of the European Strategy 
for Particle Physics-Accelerator R&D Roadmap by the Laboratory Directors 
Group [2], hereinafter referred to as the the European LDG roadmap. The 
Muon Collider Study (MuC) covers the accelerator complex, detectors and 
physics for a future muon collider. In 2023, European Commission support 
was obtained for a design study of a muon collider (MuCol) [3]. This 
project started on 1st March 2023, with work-packages aligned with the 
overall muon collider studies. In preparation of and during the 2021-22 
U.S. Snowmass process, the muon collider project parameters, technical 
studies and physics performance studies were performed and presented in 
great detail. Recently, the P5 panel [4] in the U.S. recommended a muon 
collider R&D, proposed to join the IMCC and envisages that the U.S. 
should prepare to host a muon collider, calling this their "muon shot". 
In the past, the U.S. Muon Accelerator Programme (MAP) [5] has been 
instrumental in studies of concepts and technologies for a muon collider.

150 pages.  The target and muon capture systems might be worth looking 
at for Ce+BAF.  I've just begun reading.
