Description
SHiP (Search for Hidden Particles) at CERN is a new experiment which aims to explore physics beyond the Standard Model by searching for long-lived, feebly interacting particles, as theoretically predicted by a large number of models.
It will employ a dedicated Muon Shield (MS) to suppress the muon flux generated in proton–target interactions. The first magnet in the MS complex is the Magnetized Hadron Stopper (MHS), which serves a dual purpose: it absorbs residual secondary particles produced in the target region and initiates the deflection of muons with momenta up to 350 GeV/c. To achieve this efficiently, the MHS features an unconventional geometry without aperture, and it shall generate a field of 1.9 T in its core within a compact 2.3 m length.
The paper describes the conceptual design of the MHS, which is driven by the demanding engineering requirements combined with the limited available space and high-radiation environment. The design of the magnetic circuit is achieving the required flux compression while ensuring maintainability in a high-radiation area, including the implementation of a non-magnetic spacer that enables disassembly under residual magnetization.
