Experiment at the SPS Beam Dump
Facility to Search for Hidden Particles
SHiP and
the associated SPS Beam Dump Facility is a new general-purpose
experiment in preparation at the SPS to search for
"hidden"
particles as predicted by a
large number of models of Hidden Sectors
that are capable of
explaining for instance dark matter, neutrino oscillations, and the
origin of the baryon asymmetry in the Universe.
The
experiment is design to search for any type of feebly
interacting long-lived particles, among which are found
e.g. heavy neutral leptons, dark photons , dark scalars,
axion-like particles, and light supersymmetric particles
- sgoldstinos, etc, as well as different types of Light
Dark Matter.The high intensity of the
SPS and in particular the large production of charm
mesons and photons with the 400 GeV proton beam allow a comprehensive search at the
MeV-GeV scale over many orders of magnitude in coupling. The detector incorporates two
complementary apparatuses aimed at searching for hidden
particles through both visible decays and through
scattering signatures from recoil of electrons or
nuclei. Moreover, the facility is
ideally suited to study the interactions of tau
neutrinos.
