Spectrometeroverview and requirements briefreminder of whatSHiPneeds (as of EOI) glimpse at vacuum tank and magnet EOI baseline"design" Whatnext, workahead: requirementsfrom full simulation
SHiP (as of EOI) Scope of spectrometer in twopaddlestrokes (as of EOI): • Detecttwooppositelychargedparticleswith a vertex in the decay volume and measure an invariant mass • Make sure it's not background... HNLproducedfromcharmdecay at dump, before 60m muon shieldN 5m Two setups in series=> 2 decay volumes, Twospectrometers HNL daughters To be revisited for extended physics (other hidden particles or decays)
EOI "SHiPcanbe made withexistingtechnologies" (but does not have to…) Magnet: simple affordable warm dipole, "à-la LHCb" Tracker: copy beautiful, super light NA62 tracker i.e. x/x0=0.11% per view see Hans Danielson's and SergeijMovchan'stalks
Magnet • Chosensuch as to give MS Intrinsicresolution Thanks to W. Flegel Multiple Scattering Givensuch a magnet and tracker, we are stilldominated by MS (0.5% total x/x0 for 4 views/station) • Task: revisitmagnetrequirementsfrom detector simulation • Task: produce a conceptual design, with FEA
Choice of dimensions (as of EOI) • Yield scales roughly with diameter square • For 5m, a decay volume of about 40 m seems best • Task: Is a 5m diameter still resonable? In view also of extended physics program, is it optimal ?
Vacuum suppose (conservative, no bake-out, startpumping): Qoutgassing = 5∙10-8 mbar liter s-1 cm-2 , surface A = 5000 cm ∙ (250 cm) 2 =109 cm2 required pressure p < 10-2 mbar Neededdistributedpumping speed S > Qoutgassing A / p = 5000 liter/s Thanks to G.Barber EOI: require p < 1e-2 mbar (NA62 < 1e-5mbar) • Task: define vacuum requirements • Task: investigate possible (cost effective) fabrication techniques, identify possible manufacturers, safety issues • Task: conceptual design of end flanges, FEA • Task: conceptual design of vacuum system
Assumptionsfor now ... (as of EOI) * assumed ~1e6 muons in whole aceptance per 1s spill • How do these impact the design ? • What needs to be modified from NA62 to SHiP ? see Hans Danielson's and SergeijMovchan's talks
Straw arrangement NA62 or LHCbOuterTracker
Tracker: some work ahead • Task: build a prototype 5m long straw tube • Task: tests on different straw geometries • (larger diameter ? thinner wall ?) • Task: GARFIELD simulations (signal and wire deflection) • check effect of magnetic stray field • Task: define/identify readout front-end electronics • Task: study other tracker designs ? • e.g. low-pressure drift chamber • Task: optimal geometry (layout, straw arrangements, stereo...) to be defined from full simulation
Backgrounds • Main identified sources of backgrounds to HNL decays: • -A or -A inelastic interactions in restgas of fiducialvolume • strangeness-producing -A or -A interactions in last (few) interaction lengthsbeforefiducial volume, givingmainlyKLdecays • 2- combinatoricsfromspurious muon flux, givingfakevertices in fiducial volume • SHiPnow in the process of trying to redefine detector requirementsbased on more sophisticated MC simulationof signal and background processes • In parallel, investigatetechnological aspects
Interactions in restgas • inel,Nscaleswith E and rate withnuclearthickness (N/cm2 ) • EOI: expect a few 105 neutrino interactions per 0.1m of W (int) per 21020 protons-on-target • for 40m of 1atm air, thiswouldscale down by a factor 40, thus to about 104neutrino interactions per 21020protons-on-target • Task: simulateactual-Air interactions with detector acceptance and revisitlimit on tank pressure => impact on vacuum system design. • NB: "high energy" neutrino flux isreasonablywellunderstood (depends on dump target, but not on whatcomesafter) • NB: inel,Aismanyorders of magnitude larger. But canbeVETOed... Requirement on VETO efficiency. Here, N = nucleon, not HNL in N/cm3, tungsten:air ratio 16200
KLdecays (EOI) • Task: simulate KLdecayswithrealisticdetector => impact on trackermaterial budget, spatial resolution, magnet design

An alternative design low pressure drift gas p =10...100 mbar thinmylar (C-reinforced ?) window vacuum p<10-2 mbar vacuum p<10-2 mbar wire planes
How much mass is there ? Material: dominated by the gas-confiningwalls • NA62-like: • one straw of 36um, 1cm, 5m contains 7.9g of PET • assume 1000 straws/view, 4 views, the mass in the circularacceptance of 5m is: mPET = 24.8kg • Including the impact angle (~28% more mass traversed) mPET = 31kg equivalent mass for perpendicular impact • Low-pressure window: • Circularwindow of 5m, try to getlessthan 15kg per window • For PET (1.4 g/cm3) thismeans a thickness of at most 0.55mm • For a para-aramid-reinforcedmylarwindow, carbon fibre & resindominate the mass (PET isonly for vacuum sealing), densitycanbe of order ~ 0.3 g/cm3equivalent (full surface) Is thatrealistic ? 2-layer view
With 5m diameter… a preliminary FEA Thanks to C. Garion (TE-VSC) • Very preliminary estimate: window strength given by a multi-layered grid of carbon-fibreribbons with 60% Kevlar, 40% resin, and filling about 20% of the plane. With a thickness of 1 mm one can reach 500 mbar with a displacement at this pressure of about 550 mm.One has about 6 kg of Kevlar+resin and 2.8 kg of Mylar. • My preliminary conclusion: This would easily allow to work e.g. at 100 mbar. • But: Can one make such a window at all ? • Would require building a “small” prototype (1.5 – 2m diameter) • Also to check: drift diffusion ~ 1/sqrt(p), number of primaries, etc.
