论文摘要
船舶（寻找隐藏粒子）是一个建议在CERN安装的实验，目的是探索高强度梁边界以研究所谓的隐藏扇区。由于SPS质子束与船舶高密度靶标相互作用有望产生较大的中微子通量，因此该实验还将研究具有前所未有的统计量的中微子物理。因此，设计了专用的散射和中微子检测器（SND）。它由磁场中的核乳液靶标和跟踪纤维探测器组成，然后是muon识别系统。 MUON系统由与跟踪平面交织在一起的铁过滤器组成，该滤波器配有以雪崩模式运行的电阻板室（RPC）。每个平面由两个垂直条带的三个间隙读数组成。 RPC读数电子产品正在开发。它基于连接到浓度系统的前端野外可编程阵列（FPGA）的使用，通过光学链接以数据采集和控制系统串行传输数据。在测试梁中，在CERN H4上生产并暴露了五个RPC平面的船舶识别系统的小型原型。
SHiP (Search for Hidden Particles) is a proposed experiment to be installed at CERN, with the aim of exploring the high intensity beam frontier to investigate the so-called Hidden sector. Since the SPS proton beam interacting with the SHiP high density target is expected to produce a large neutrino flux, the experiment will also study neutrino physics with unprecedented statistics. A dedicated Scattering and Neutrino Detector (SND) is thus being designed. It consists of a nuclear emulsion target and a tracking fibres detector in magnetic field followed by a Muon Identification System. The Muon System is composed of iron filters interleaved with tracking planes, instrumented with Resistive Plate Chambers (RPCs) operated in avalanche mode. Each plane consists of three gaps readout by two planes of perpendicular strips. The RPC readout electronics is being developed. It is based on the use of front-end Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) connected to a concentration system, transmitting data serially at high speed via optical link to the data acquisition and control system. A small-scale prototype of the SHiP Muon Identification System, with five RPC planes consisting of one large gap each, has been produced and exposed at CERN H4 in a test beam.
