DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Richard Jacobsson (CERN)\n\nThe SHiP Collaboration h
 as proposed a general-purpose experimental facility operating in beam dump
  mode at the CERN SPS accelerator with the aim of searching for light\, lo
 ng-lived exotic particles of Hidden Sector models. The SHiP experiment inc
 orporates a muon shield based on magnetic sweeping and two complementary a
 pparatuses. The detector immediately downstream of the muon shield is opti
 mised both for recoil signatures of light dark matter scattering and for t
 au neutrino physics\, and consists of a spectrometer magnet housing a laye
 red detector system with heavy target plates\, emulsion film technology an
 d electronic high precision tracking. The second detector system aims at m
 easuring the visible decays of hidden sector particles to both fully recon
 structible final states and to partially reconstructible final states with
  neutrinos\, in a nearly background free environment. The detector consist
 s of a 50 m long decay volume under vacuum followed by a spectrometer and 
 particle identification with a rectangular acceptance of 5 m in width and 
 10 m in height. Using the high-intensity beam of 400 GeV protons\, the exp
 eriment is capable of integrating 2×10^20 protons in five years. This all
 ows probing dark photons\, dark scalars and pseudo-scalars\, and heavy neu
 trinos with GeV-scale masses at sensitivities that exceed those of existin
 g and projected experiments. The sensitivity to light dark matter reaches 
 well below the Dark Matter relic density limits in the range from a few Me
 V/c2 up to 200 MeV/c2\, and it will be possible to study tau neutrino inte
 ractions with unprecedented statistics. Following the review of the Techni
 cal Proposal\, the experiment and the beam dump facility proceeded with a 
 Comprehensive Design Study phase. These studies have resulted in a mature 
 proposal submitted to the European Strategy for Particle Physics Update. \
 n\n \n\nThis seminar will give an overview of the motivation and the SHiP
  experimental setup\, and discuss the current state of the detectors\, the
  detector performance\, and the future plans.\n\nhttps://indico.cern.ch/ev
