Gaia Lanfranchi: The search for feebly-interacting particles with the SHADOWS project within the Physics Beyond Colliders activity at CERN
https://zoom.us/j/97041428849
Feebly-interacting particles (FIPs) represent an alternative paradigm with respect to the traditional BSM physics explored at the LHC and has been recognized by the European Strategy for Particle Physics update as one of the essential activities in particle physics to be pursued in the next decade.
I will present the current plans for searching for FIPs at CERN within the new Physics Beyond Colliders activity with special focus on the SHADOWS project. SHADOWS will search for a large variety of FIPs produced in the interactions of protons with a dump. It will use the 400 GeV primary proton beam extracted from the CERN SPS currently serving the NA62 experiment in the CERN North area and will take data running concurrently to NA62 when NA62 is operated in beam-dump mode.
SHADOWS can expand the exploration for a large variety of FIPs well beyond the state of the art in the MeV-GeV mass range which is allowed by cosmological and astrophysical observations and become one of the main players in the search for FIPs at accelerators in the next decade.
The speaker of this seminar will connect remotely, we will stream it in Niels Bohr, Schuster.
