DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Andrey Golutvin (Imperial College London / CERN)\nTh
 e experimental evidence for BSM physics such as the non-zero neutrino mass
 es\, the baryon asymmetry in the Universe\, and the presence of non-baryon
 ic dark matter may have their origin in new physics involving very weakly 
 interacting particles as predicted by models with a secluded or hidden sec
 tor of particles. In general\, these models contain mediators that couple 
 very weakly with SM particles\, acting as portals to the hidden sector\, e
 .g. dark photon\,Majorananeutrinos\,darkscalars\,etc... Relativelylightwar
 mdarkmatterisnaturally accommodated in these models. Given the small coupl
 ing constants and typically long lifetimes\, hidden particles have not bee
 n significantly constrained by previous experiments\, and the reach at cur
 rent experiments is limited by both luminosity and acceptance.\nThis talk 
 will describe the recently proposed SHiP experiment at the SPS which is ai
 ming at generically searching for hidden particles. The high power and uni
 que operational mode of the SPS provide ideal conditions for accessing a w
 ide variety of light long-lived very weakly interacting particles and ligh
 t dark matter. With 2x1020 protons on target\, SHiP is able to achieve sen
 sitivities which are up to four orders of magnitude better than previous c
 onstraints\, accessing a significant fraction of the unexplored parameter 
 space. Such an experiment would be an essential complement to the LHC in t
 he search for new physics at CERN.\nThe SHiP experiment is also ideally su
 ited to study the interactions of tau neutrinos.\n\nhttps://indico.particl
