Abstract

SHiP is a fixed-target experiment whose Technical Proposal has been recently submitted to the CERN SPS committee. A 400GeV proton beam, extracted from the SPS, would be dumped on a heavy target, integrating 2×1020 pot in 5 years of data taking. The physics aim of the experiment is twofold: to probe different models with exotic long-lived particles (heavy neutral leptons and dark photons for instance) and to improve the knowledge about tau neutrino (the less known Standard Model particle) physics. In this contribution, a brief description of the SHiP experiment and its physics discovery potential are reported.
