Neutrino and Muon induced background studies - SHiP experiment — •Anupama Reghunath, Heiko Lacker, Andrew Conaboy, and Jakob Schmidt for the SBT collaboration — Institut für Physik, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Berlin, Germany

The Search for Hidden Particles (SHIP) experiment is proposed to be constructed at a dedicated beam-dump facility at the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) aiming to search for new feebly interacting particles generated in the decay of heavy flavour hadrons or through interactions of photons inside the beam-dump target. During a period of five years, SHIP aims to collect data from 2 · 1020 400 GeV/c protons on target. The experimental design is optimised to maximise the production of charm and beauty mesons with zero background events to have the best sensitivity to hidden-sector particles. Simulation studies with emphasis on the neutrino and muon induced background arising from inelastic interactions and its rejection using kinematical and topological requirements as well as information dedicated veto detectors, such as the Surround Background Tagger, will be discussed.
