New Capabilities of the FLUKA Multi-Purpose Code

André Donadon Servelle, Nikolaos Charitonidis, Philippe Jean Schoofs, Francesco Cerutti

FLUKA is a general purpose Monte Carlo code able to describe the transport and interaction of any particle and nucleus type in complex geometries over an energy range extending from thermal neutrons to ultrarelativistic hadron collisions. It has many diffe ...

SND@LHC - Scattering and Neutrino Detector at the LHC

Lesya Shchutska, Olivier Schneider, Aurelio Bay, Guido Haefeli, Elena Graverini, Alexey Boyarsky, Ettore Zaffaroni, Sun Hee Kim, Federico Leo Redi, Evgenii Shmanin, Nikolaos Charitonidis, Carina Trippl, Serhii Cholak, Jean-Loup Tastet, Ana Bárbara Rodrigues Cavalcante, Anton Petrov, Andrea Montanari

SND@LHC is a proposed, compact and stand-alone experiment to perform measurements with neutrinos produced at the LHC in an hitherto unexplored pseudo-rapidity region of

7.2 < \eta < 8.6

, complementary to all the other experiments at the LHC. The experime ...

Sensitivity of the SHiP experiment to dark photons decaying to a pair of charged particles

Lesya Shchutska, Aurelio Bay, Guido Haefeli, Elena Graverini, Alexey Boyarsky, Federico Leo Redi, Maria Elena Stramaglia, Oleg Ruchayskiy, Nikolaos Charitonidis, Jean-Loup Tastet, Ekaterina Kuznetsova, Hans Dijkstra, Anton Petrov, Sergei Smirnov

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 of the dark photon m(gamma)D and its mixing parameter with the photon, epsil ...

Probing the explanation of the muon (g-2) anomaly and thermal light dark matter with the semi-visible dark photon channel

Nikolaos Charitonidis, Philip Crivelli

We report the results of a search for a new vector boson (A') decaying into two dark matter particles chi 1 chi 2 of different mass. The heavier chi(2) particle subsequently decays to chi 1 and an off-shell Dark Photon A'* -> e(+)e(-). For a sufficiently l ...

Measurement of the muon flux from 400 GeV/c protons interacting in a thick molybdenum/tungsten target

Lesya Shchutska, Aurelio Bay, Guido Haefeli, Elena Graverini, Alexey Boyarsky, Federico Leo Redi, Maria Elena Stramaglia, Oleg Ruchayskiy, Nikolaos Charitonidis, Jean-Loup Tastet, Ekaterina Kuznetsova, Hans Dijkstra, Anton Petrov, Sergei Smirnov

The SHiP experiment is proposed 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. About 1011muons per spill will be produced in the dump. To design the experiment s ...

The magnet of the scattering and neutrino detector for the SHiP experiment at CERN

Lesya Shchutska, Aurelio Bay, Guido Haefeli, Elena Graverini, Alexey Boyarsky, Sun Hee Kim, Federico Leo Redi, Maria Elena Stramaglia, Oleg Ruchayskiy, Nikolaos Charitonidis, Sebastian Gerlach, Inar Timiryasov, Jean-Loup Tastet, Ekaterina Kuznetsova, Hans Dijkstra, Anton Petrov, Sergei Smirnov

The Search for Hidden Particles (SHiP) experiment proposal at CERN demands a dedicated dipole magnet for its scattering and neutrino detector. This requires a very large volume to be uniformly magnetized at B > 1.2 T, with constraints regarding the inner i ...

Aurelio Bay, Guido Haefeli, Elena Graverini, Alexey Boyarsky, Nikolaos Charitonidis, Ekaterina Kuznetsova, Hans Dijkstra, Francesco Cerutti

We propose to build and operate a detector that, for the first time, will measure the process

Sensitivity of the SHiP experiment to Heavy Neutral Leptons

Lesya Shchutska, Aurelio Bay, Guido Haefeli, Elena Graverini, Alexey Boyarsky, Sun Hee Kim, Federico Leo Redi, Maria Elena Stramaglia, Oleg Ruchayskiy, Nikolaos Charitonidis, Inar Timiryasov, Jean-Loup Tastet, Ekaterina Kuznetsova, Hans Dijkstra, Anton Petrov, Sergei Smirnov

Heavy Neutral Leptons (HNLs) are hypothetical particles predicted by many extensions of the Standard Model. These particles can, among other things, explain the origin of neutrino masses, generate the observed matter-antimatter asymmetry in the Universe an ...

Fast simulation of muons produced at the SHiP experiment using Generative Adversarial Networks

Lesya Shchutska, Aurelio Bay, Guido Haefeli, Elena Graverini, Alexey Boyarsky, Alexandre Emmanuel Grandchamp, Sun Hee Kim, Federico Leo Redi, Maria Elena Stramaglia, Oleg Ruchayskiy, Nikolaos Charitonidis, Sebastian Gerlach, Jean-Loup Tastet, Ana Bárbara Rodrigues Cavalcante, Ekaterina Kuznetsova, Hans Dijkstra, Anton Petrov, Sergei Smirnov

This paper presents a fast approach to simulating muons produced in interactions of the SPS proton beams with the target of the SHiP experiment. The SHIP experiment will be able to search for new long-lived particles produced in a 400 GeV/c SPS proton beam ...
