DESCRIPTION:The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has enjoyed great success in c
 ompleting the last piece of the Standard Model (SM)\; Electroweak Symmetry
  Breaking characterized by a single Higgs boson. The discovery of the Higg
 s boson by the ATLAS and CMS experiments made the SM self-consistent. Howe
 ver experimental observations tell us that the model is not complete (no g
 ravity\, neutrino masses or Dark Matter). This is a clear indication of ph
 ysics Beyond the Standard Model (BSM). Current experiments have so far fai
 led to provide an answer to any of these questions. While the LHC run is f
 ar from over\, such large scale facilities have a very long lead times (de
 cades). It means we need to start planning for them now.\n\nThe Muon Colli
 der provides an excellent environment for studying the stated goals of a f
 uture collider. The fully leptonic initial state allows for precision meas
 urements of the Standard Model and can probe much higher energies with a s
 mall ring size. However the instability of the muons create challenges for
  both the accelerator and detectors. The seminar will give an overview of 
 the significant progress that has happened on both fronts and highlight th
 e areas that still needed Research and Development.
