Testbeam Readout and Slow Control of 4-cell Prototype for the SHiP SBT — •Tim Molzberger for the SHiP-SBT collaboration — Physikalisches Institut, Albert-Ludiwgs-Universität Freiburg, 79104 Freiburg, Germany

The Search for Hidden Particles (SHiP) is a proposed next-generation beam dump experiment at CERN to scan for previously undiscovered long-lived and feebly interacting neutral particles beyond the Standard Model. This task requires unprecedented efficiency in background rejection by multiple veto detectors like the surrounding background tagger (SBT). We present the developments for the readout and the slow control of the latest SBT prototype testbeam at CERN in October 2023. The readout features silicon photomultipliers for photodetection and ASICs for signal amplification and shaping. A group of controller boards powers and controls the configuration of this readout, which is one element of the low cost slow control developed for this testbeam. The slow control further features sensors to monitor the orientation and position of the prototype and dedicated software to organize all activities and store data.
