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 proposed at the SPS to
search for
"hidden"
particles as predicted by a very large
number of recently elaborated models of Hidden Sectors
which are capable of accommodating dark matter, neutrino
oscillations, and the origin of the full baryon
asymmetry in the Universe.
The
experiment is design to search for any type of very weakly
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 which are capable
of 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.
