The BDF/SHiP collaboration has proposed a general-purpose intensity-frontier experimental facility operating in beam-dump mode at the 400 GeV CERN SPS accelerator to search for feebly interacting GeV-scale particles and to perform measurements in neutrino physics. CERN is uniquely suited for this programme owing to the proton energy and yield available at the SPS. In March 2024 the facility...
In this work[1], we consider the propagation of QED fermions in the presence of a classical background magnetic field with white-noise stochastic fluctuations. The effects of the magnetic field fluctuations are incorporated into the fermion and photon propagators[3] in a quasiparticle picture, which we developed in previous works [2] using the replica trick. In the very strong-field limit, we...
The inner detector of the present ATLAS experiment has been designed and developed to function in the environment of the present Large Hadron Collider (LHC). At the ATLAS Phase-II Upgrade, the particle densities and radiation levels will exceed current levels by a factor of ten. The instantaneous luminosity is expected to reach unprecedented values, resulting in up to 200 proton- proton...
