Description
The Search for Hidden Particles (SHiP) is a new high-intensity fixed-target experiment to be located within the Experimental Cavern North 3 (ECN3) at CERN’s North Area, utilising a 400 GeV proton beam from the SPS. The construction of a Beam Dump Facility (BDF) target complex is required for the successful operation of SHiP. It comprises an underground target station within the Tunnel Target Cave 8 (TCC8) cavern, adjacent to ECN3, which will house a 1.5 m-long, 0.25 m-diameter tungsten target, and an above ground service building that includes the target cooling systems and waste package infrastructure. The required infrastructure to investigate target failures, including the cutting of spent targets and other CERN legacy waste in view of their packaging for disposal, has been studied. This contribution presents the current design status of the target complex, including radiation protection, remote handling, utilities and cooling/ventilation systems, installation and operation procedures, maintenance and decommissioning plans, and sustainability aspects.
