A new general purpose fixed target facility is proposed at the CERN SPS accelerator which is aimed at exploring the domain of hidden particles and make measurements with tau neutrinos. Hidden particles are predicted by a large number of models beyond the Standard Model. The high intensity of the SPS 400~GeV beam allows probing a wide variety of models containing light long-lived exotic particles with masses below ${\cal O}$(10)~GeV/c$^2$, including very weakly interacting low-energy SUSY states. The experimental programme of the proposed facility is capable of being extended in the future, e.g. to include direct searches for Dark Matter and Lepton Flavour Violation.

  1. Performance of a first multi-cell WOM-based liquid scintillator detector as prototype for the SHiP Surrounding Background Tagger

    physics.ins-det 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    A full-scale four-cell WOM-based liquid-scintillator veto prototype for SHiP reconstructed muon tracks with about ±15 cm spatial and ±15° angular resolution.

  2. Searching for long-lived ALPs with a laser-assisted optical dump

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    A laser-assisted optical dump could probe ALP-electron couplings down to ~10^-6 (10^-7) GeV^-1 with 16.5 (125) GeV electron beams, and when both couplings are present the Primakoff process improves the electron-coupli...

  3. Challenging Majorana neutrino effects in $B\to K^{(\ast)}\nu\nu$ and $K\to \pi\nu\nu$ decays

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    Belle-II's B→Kνν excess cannot be explained by dimension-7 lepton-number-violating SMEFT operators without fine-tuning neutrino masses, while a light sterile-neutrino extension can, with testable decay spectra.

  4. Naturally quality-safe GeV axion with charm coupling

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    Coupling the GeV-scale QCD axion to charm instead of light quarks avoids the isospin problem and yields BR(B→Kσ) ~ 2×10^-5 consistent with Belle II, at the price of a small scalar quartic requiring protection.

  5. Naturally quality-safe GeV axion with charm coupling

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    A charm-coupled GeV axion with m_φ ~ 3–4 MeV is quality-safe without extra symmetry, avoids isospin violation, and predicts ΔN_eff ~ −0.1 plus BR(B→Kσ) ~ 2×10^{-5}.

  6. Irreducible Gravitational Wave Background as a Particle Detector

    hep-ph 2026-04 conditional novelty 6.0

    Spectral features of primordial gravitational-wave backgrounds can directly reconstruct the mass and decay rate of long-lived BSM particles via the frequencies imprinted by an early matter-dominated epoch.

  7. Irreducible Gravitational Wave Background as a Particle Detector

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Spectral features imprinted by long-lived BSM particles on any primordial GWB directly determine the particles' mass and decay rate once the model and initial abundance are specified.

  8. Astrophysical bounds on the high-energy evolution of neutrino mixing

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    High-energy astrophysical neutrinos can constrain the running of neutrino mixing parameters with energy, with future multi-detector setups forecast to set strong bounds despite astrophysical uncertainties.

  9. Illuminating sequential freeze-in dark matter with dark photon signal at the CERN SHiP experiment

    hep-ph 2025-12 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Sequential freeze-in dark matter with a dark photon mediator of mass 0.01-10 GeV fixes the dark charge at 1.3e-12 and restricts mixing to 10^{-11} to ~10^{-8}, with SHiP excluding most of this range except near 10^{-11}.

    astro-ph.CO 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0
