Description

SHiP is a new general purpose fixed target facility. In its initial phase, the 400 GeV proton beam extracted from the SPS will be dumped on a heavy target with the aim of integrating $2\times10^{20}$ pot in 5 years. A dedicated detector, based on a long vacuum tank followed by a spectrometer and particle identification detectors, will allow probing a variety of models with light long-lived exotic particles and masses below $\mathcal{O}(10)$ GeV/$c^{2}$. The main focus will be the physics of the so-called Hidden Portals.
