Description
We propose a novel method using the $ZZ$-fusion channel and forward muon detection at high-energy muon colliders to address the challenge of the Higgs coupling-width degeneracy. Our approach enables inclusive Higgs rate measurement to 0.75\% at 10~TeV muon collider, breaking the coupling-width degeneracy. Results indicate the potential to refine Higgs coupling to sub-percent levels and estimate its total width within (-0.41\%, +2.1\%). Key insights include the effectiveness of forward muon tagging in signal-background separation despite broad recoil mass distribution due to muon energy reconstruction and beam energy spread. The study emphasizes the significance of muon rapidity coverage up to $|\eta (\mu)|<6$, enhancing measurement precision. Our findings highlight the unique capabilities of high-energy lepton colliders for model-independent Higgs coupling determination and lay the groundwork for future advancements in muon collider technology and Higgs physics research.
