Measurement of the muon flux for the SHiP experiment in intermediate field settings

We report the results of the measurement of the muon flux emanating from the SHiP target at the CERN SPS. A replica of the SHiP target followed by a 2.4 m iron hadron absorber was installed in the H4 400 GeV/c proton beamline. To measure the momentum spectrum, a spectrometer consisting of drift tubes...

description We report the results of the measurement of the muon flux emanating from the SHiP target at the CERN SPS. A replica of the SHiP target followed by a 2.4 m iron hadron absorber was installed in the H4 400 GeV/c proton beamline. To measure the momentum spectrum, a spectrometer consisting of drift tubes and resistive plate chambers (RPCs) was placed around the Goliath magnet. The amount of accumulated data allows us to make a validation of the results from our Pythia and Geant4 based Monte Carlo (FairShip). This analysis is a follow up of the full field inclusive muon flux analysis [1]. It contains the analysis of the data taken with intermediate magnetic field, corresponding to 1.950 × 1010 protons on target (POT).
