SUMMARY:Studies for a Low EMittance Muon Accelerator (LEMMA)\, High En
 ergy Seminar\, Manuela Boscolo & Marco Zanetti\, INFN
DESCRIPTION:The concept of LEMMA uses a positron beam of about 45 GeV 
 interacting on electrons on target. We will discuss the challenges\, f
 uture plans and prospects of this proposal. We will present the accele
 rator scheme\, with the optics and beam dynamics performed so far on t
 he positron and muon beams. We will describe the challenges on the muo
 n production target for a Multi-TeV muon collider in the 10^35 cm^-2 s
 ^-1 luminosity range. An experimental program aiming to study the feat
 ures of the process e+e- -> mu+mu- close to the production threshold\,
  by using a positron beam of energy greater than 44 GeV on a solid tar
 get\, is ongoing at the SPS CERN facility. The main goals are the prec
 ise measurement of the muon pair production rate and the emittance of 
 the produced beam  as a function of the center-of-mass energy and for 
 different kind of targets. A summary of the 2018 beam test and the per
 spectives of the test beam planned for 2022  with an improved experime
 ntal setup will be presented.
