SHiP (Search for Hidden Particles) will be a fixed-target experiment at CERN’s SPS designed to probe long-lived feebly interacting particles (FIPs) in the GeV range. Installed in a dedicated beam-dump facility in the ECN3 cavern, SHiP will use 400 GeV/c SPS protons to accumulate $6\cdot10^{20}$ protons on target over 15 years, while reducing backgrounds from the intense muon and neutrino flux...

Search for Hidden Particles (SHiP/NA67) is a new general-purpose, high-intensity beam dump experiment at CERN approved in 2024 and designed to explore the largely uncharted domain of feebly interacting particles with masses from 100 MeV to a few GeV. These particles are predicted by a large number of theories beyond the Standard Model capable of explaining phenomena such as dark matter,...

The detectors of the Pierre Auger Observatory, primarily designed to observe ultra-high energy cosmic rays and identify their sources, simultaneously take advantage of their sensitivity and large coverage area to detect transient luminous events and terrestrial gamma-ray flashes (TGFs), atmospheric phenomena closely linked to lightning and thunderstorms. Owing to their sensitivity to...

Fluctuations of conserved charges such as baryon number, electric charge, and strangeness are effective probes of the QCD phase diagram. Their higher-order cumulants are particularly sensitive to critical phenomena and remain an important focus of current heavy-ion research.
In this work, an exploratory study of strangeness fluctuations in Ag+Ag collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}} =...
