DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Oliver Lantwin (Universität Siegen)\n\nThe BDF/SHiP
  experiment is a general purpose intensity-frontier experiment for the sea
 rch of feebly interacting GeV-scale particles and to perform neutrino phys
 ics measurements at the HI-ECN3 (high-intensity) beam facility at the CERN
  SPS. Operated in beam-dump mode this experiment takes full advantage of t
 he available 4×10^19 protons per year at 400 GeV. In 2024\, the CERN Rese
 arch Board decided in favour of BDF/SHiP for the future programme of this 
 facility.\nThe experimental setup consists of two complementary detector s
 ystems downstream an active muon shield. The former\, the scattering and n
 eutrino detector (SND)\, consists of a light dark matter (LDM) / neutrino 
 target with vertexing capability. The latter\, the hidden sector decay spe
 ctrometer (HSDS)\, consists of a 50 m long decay volume followed by a spec
 trometer\, timing detector\, and a PID system. BDF/SHiP offers an unpreced
 ented sensitivity to decay and scattering signatures of various new physic
 s models and tau neutrino physics.\nIn this seminar I will give an overvie
 w of the SHiP experiment and its physics aims\, summarise the studies lead
 ing up to the successful proposal\, and chart the course towards successfu
 l data taking in 2033. I will particularly focus on my own areas of involv
 ement\, i.e. the optimisation of the experimental design\, the computing c
 hallenges faced for high-intensity zero-background experiments and machine
  learning applications in the collaboration.\n\nhttps://indico.e5.physik.t
