The detector system of the SHiP/NA67 experiment at CERN

Year: 2026

Type: preprint

Abstract: The SHiP/NA67 experiment aims to search for feebly interacting GeV-scale new particles and to perform all-flavour neutrino-physics measurements at the HI-ECN3 beam facility at the CERN SPS. The collaboration is currently optimising the experiment's initial configuration for the commissioning and first physics runs of 2032-2033. The detector subsystems comprise a few large-area instruments: for new-particle searches, highly sophisticated veto detectors, high timing-resolution detectors, a lightweight straw tracker system, and high-spatial-precision calorimeters; and, for neutrino reconstruction, small transverse-size, high-granularity calorimeters.
