  We propose the development of a novel muon-proton and muon-nucleus collider
facility at the TeV scale that is capable of performing precision deep
inelastic scattering measurements in new regimes and providing a rich program
in nuclear and particle physics. Such a facility could seed, or leverage, the
development of a muon-antimuon collider and make use of the existing hadron
accelerator infrastructure when sited at a facility such as Brookhaven National
Laboratory, Fermilab, or CERN. We discuss the possible energy and luminosity
design parameters for several collider configurations, and illustrate the
science potential with several studies on deep inelastic scattering kinematics,
Higgs and vector boson production, top quark production, and beyond Standard
Model leptoquark production. Detector design considerations and a possible road
map toward development are also given.
