NA61/SHINE (standing for "SPS Heavy Ion and Neutrino Experiment") is aparticle physics experiment at theSuper Proton Synchrotron (SPS) at theEuropean Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN).[1] The experiment studies thehadronic final states produced in interactions of variousbeam particles (pions,protons andberyllium,argon, andxenonnuclei) with a variety offixed nuclear targets at the SPS energies.

About 135 physicists from 14 countries and 35 institutions work in NA61/SHINE. The experiment was introduced się toMarek Gazdzicki's prior research at the NA49 experiment. NA61/SHINE is the second largest fixed target experiment at CERN.[2]

Physics program

[edit]

The NA61/SHINE physics program has been designed to measurehadron production in three different types of collisions:[1]

Detector

[edit]

The NA61/SHINE experiment uses a large acceptance hadronspectrometer located on the H2 beam line in the North Area of CERN.[1] It consist of components used by the heavy ionNA49 experiment as well as those designed andconstructed for NA61/SHINE.[3]

PSD detector for NA61

The main tracking devices are four large volumetime projection chambers (TPCs), which are capable of detecting up to 70% of all charged particles created in the studied reactions. Two of them are located in the magnetic field of twosuper-conducting dipole magnets with maximum bending powers of 9 tesla meters. Two others are positioned downstream of the magnets symmetrically with respect to the beam line. Additionally, four small volumeTPCs placed directly along the beamline region are used in case of hadron and light ion beams.[3][4]

The setup is supplemented bytime of flight detector walls, which extend particle identification to low momenta (1 GeV/c < p ). Furthermore, the Projectile Spectator Detector (acalorimeter) is positioned downstream of the time of flight detectors to measure energy of projectile fragments.

Extended program: afterLong Shutdown 2

[edit]
NA61 experiment at CERN after Long Shutdown 2

In 2018 the NA61/SHINE collaboration published an addendum presenting an intent to upgrade the experimental facility and perform a new set of measurements after Long Shutdown 2.[26] As in the original program, the new one proposes studies of hadron-nucleus and nucleus-nucleus interactions forheavy ions,neutrino andcosmic-ray physics.

Theheavy ions program will focus on study ofcharm hadron production (mostlyD mesons) in lead-lead interactions.

In 2020 the SPS and PS Experiments Committee (SPSC) recommended approval of beam time in 2021.[27] The Research Board endorsed these recommendations.[28]
