Beam impact tests of a prototype target for the Beam Dump Facility at CERN: experimental setup and preliminary analysis of the online results
E. Lopez Sola, M. Calviani, O. Aberle +24
The Beam Dump Facility (BDF) is a project for a new facility at CERN dedicated to high intensity beam dump and fixed target experiments. Currently in its design phase, the first ai…
Design of beam optics and radiation protection concept for the NA60+ heavy-ion experiment at CERN
A. Gerbershagen, C. Ahdida, J. Bernhard +5
NA60+ is a fixed target experiment proposed in the framework of the Physics Beyond Colliders programme at CERN. It aims to precisely measure the hard and electromagnetic probes in…
Design Development for the Beam Dump Facility Target Complex at CERN
K. Kershaw, J. -L. Grenard, M. Calviani +10
CERN has launched a study phase to evaluate the feasibility of a new high-intensity beam dump facility at the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron accelerator with the primary goal of exp…
Post-LS3 Experimental Options in ECN3
C. Ahdida, G. Arduini, K. Balazs +47
The Experimental Cavern North 3 (ECN3) is an underground experimental cavern on the CERN Prévessin site. ECN3 currently hosts the NA62 experiment, with a physics programme devoted…
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…
Letter of Intent: the NA60+ experiment
C. Ahdida, G. Alocco, F. Antinori +59
We propose a new fixed-target experiment for the study of electromagnetic and hard probes of the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) in heavy-ion collisions at the CERN SPS. The experiment ai…
Interim report for the International Muon Collider Collaboration (IMCC)
C. Accettura, S. Adrian, R. Agarwal +383
The International Muon Collider Collaboration (IMCC) [1] was established in 2020 following the recommendations of the European Strategy for Particle Physics (ESPP) and the implemen…
SPS Beam Dump Facility -- Comprehensive Design Study
C. Ahdida, R. G. Alia, G. Arduini +45
The proposed Beam Dump Facility (BDF) is foreseen to be located at the North Area of the SPS. It is designed to be able to serve both beam dump like and fixed target experiments. T…
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…
