Sensitivity of the SHiP experiment to dark photons decaying to a pair of charged particles
SHiP Collaboration, C. Ahdida, A. Akmete +331
Dark photons are hypothetical massive vector particles that could mix with ordinary photons. The simplest theoretical model is fully characterised by only two parameters: the mass…
Plastic scintillator detector with the readout based on an array of large-area SiPMs for the ND280/T2K upgrade and SHiP experiments
A. Korzenev, C. Betancourt, A. Blondel +12
Plastic scintillator detectors have been extensively used in particle physics experiments for decades. A large-scale detector is typically arranged as an array of staggered long ba…
SND@LHC
SHiP Collaboration, C. Ahdida, A. Akmete +341
We propose to build and operate a detector that, for the first time, will measure the process at the LHC and search for feebly interacting particles (FIPs) in an unexplo…
Application of large area SiPMs for the readout of a plastic scintillator based timing detector
C. Betancourt, A. Blondel, R. Brundler +10
In this study an array of eight 6 mm x 6 mm area SiPMs was coupled to the end of a long plastic scintillator counter which was exposed to a 2.5 GeV/c muon beam at the CERN PS. Timi…
