DESCRIPTION:The SHiP Collaboration has proposed a general-purpose experime
 ntal facility operating in beam dump mode at the CERN SPS accelerator with
  the aim of searching for light\, long-lived exotic particles of Hidden Se
 ctor models. The SHiP experiment incorporates a muon shield based on magne
 tic sweeping and two complementary apparatuses. The detector immediately d
 ownstream of the muon shield is optimised both for recoil signatures of li
 ght dark matter scattering and for tau neutrino physics\, and consists of 
 a spectrometer magnet housing a layered detector system with heavy target 
 plates\, emulsion film technology and electronic high precision tracking. 
 The second detector system aims at measuring the visible decays of hidden 
 sector particles to both fully reconstructible final states and to partial
 ly reconstructible final states with neutrinos\, in a nearly background fr
 ee environment. The detector consists of a 50 m long decay volume under va
 cuum followed by a spectrometer and particle identification with a rectang
 ular acceptance of 5 m in width and 10 m in height. Using the high-intensi
 ty beam of 400 GeV protons\, the experiment is capable of integrating 2×1
 0^20 protons in five years. This allows probing dark photons\, dark scalar
 s and pseudo-scalars\, and heavy neutrinos with GeV-scale masses at sensit
 ivities that exceed those of existing and projected experiments. The sensi
 tivity to light dark matter reaches well below the Dark Matter relic densi
 ty limits in the range from a few MeV/c2 up to 200 MeV/c2\, and it will be
  possible to study tau neutrino interactions with unprecedented statistics
 . Following the review of the Technical Proposal\, the experiment and the 
 beam dump facility proceeded with a Comprehensive Design Study phase. Thes
 e studies have resulted in a mature proposal submitted to the European Str
 ategy for Particle Physics Update. \n\n \n\nThis seminar will give an ove
 rview 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/event/804843/
