Hidden sector searches with SHiP and NA62
P. Mermod
High-intensity proton beams impinging on a fixed target or beam dump allow to probe new physics via the production of new weakly-coupled particles in hadron decays. The CERN SPS pr…
Search for magnetic monopoles with the MoEDAL forward trapping detector in 2.11 fb of 13 TeV proton-proton collisions at the LHC
MoEDAL Collaboration, B. Acharya, J. Alexandre +68
We update our previous search for trapped magnetic monopoles in LHC Run 2 using nearly six times more integrated luminosity and including additional models for the interpretation o…
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…
A fully active fine grained detector with three readout views
A. Blondel, F. Cadoux, S. Fedotov +13
This paper describes a novel idea of a fine-grained fully-active plastic scintillator detector made of many optically independent cubes with readout o…
Right-handed neutrinos: the hunt is on!
P. Mermod
The possibility of the existence of right-handed neutrinos remains one of the most important open questions in particle physics, as they can help elucidate the problems of neutrino…
The active muon shield in the SHiP experiment
SHiP collaboration, A. Akmete, A. Alexandrov +229
The SHiP experiment is designed to search for very weakly interacting particles beyond the Standard Model which are produced in a 400 GeV/c proton beam dump at the CERN SPS. An ess…
