Study of performance of electro-magnetic calorimeter of SHiP experiment — •Gia Khoriauli — Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz, Staudingerweg 7, 55128 Mainz, Rheinland-Pfalz
The SHiP experiment is a new fixed target experiment proposed at the CERN SPS accelerator facility to search for very weakly interacting particles with masses of O(10) GeV or below and long lifetimes. The goal is to accumulate 2 × 1020 400 GeV/c protons on target extracted from the SPS during five years of operation. The experiment has a potential to explore the parameter space regions of hidden-sector particles originating from charm and beauty meson decays not reachable by existing or planned experiments in the near future. The electro-magnetic calorimeter will be one of the key detectors of the experiment. Its main purpose is to measure energies as well as directions of photons coming e.g. from decays of axion-like particles with high detection efficiency. The design concepts and performance studies of the SHiP electro-magnetic calorimeter are reviewed.
