Report from the Conventional Beams Working Group to the Physics Beyond Collider Study and to the European Strategy for Particle Physics / Gatignon, Lau (CERN) ; Banerjee, Dipanwita (Univ. Illinois at Urbana Champaign (US)) ; Bernhard, Johannes (CERN) ; Brugger, Markus (CERN) ; Charitonidis, Nikolaos (CERN) ; D'Alessandro, Gian Luigi (University of London (GB)) ; Doble, Niels (INFN Sezione di Pisa, Universita' e Scuola Normale Superiore, Pisa (IT)) ; Van Dijk, Maarten (CERN) ; Gerbershagen, Alexander (CERN) ; Montbarbon, Eva (CERN) et al. /Conventional Beams Working Group
This document summarises the main conclusions of the Conventional Beams Working group, which has analysed the beam related and technical requirements and requests in the proposals to the Physics Beyond Colliders study for the North Area at the CERN SPS. We present results from studies on feasibility, requirements, compatibility between proposals and, where possible, the order of magnitude of the costs. [...]

Ion beams requirements for the North Area Experiments post-LS3 / Ahdida, Claudia (CERN) ; Alemany Fernandez, Reyes (CERN) ; Arduini, Gianluigi (CERN) ; Arrutia, Pablo (CERN) ; Balazs, Kincso (CERN) ; Bartosik, Hannes (CERN) ; Bernhard, Johannes (CERN) ; Boer, Daniel (CERN) ; Bruce, Roderik (CERN) ; Brugger, Markus (CERN) et al.
The Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) delivers ion beams to Experimental Hall North 1 (EHN1) on the CERN Prévessin site typically over a period of four weeks per year. EHN1 is currently hosting one physics experiment using ion beams, the NA61/SHINE experiment approved until Long Shutdown 3 (LS3) [...]

Report from the Conventional Beams Working Group to the Physics Beyond Colliders Study and to the European Strategy for Particle Physics / Bernhard, Johannes (CERN) ; Banerjee, Dipanwita (CERN) ; Baratto Roldan, Anna (CERN) ; Brugger, Markus (CERN) ; Charitonidis, Nikolaos (CERN) ; d'Allesandro, Gian Luigi (CERN) ; Van Dijk, Maarten (CERN) ; Doble, Niels (CERN) ; Dyks, Luke Aidan (University of Oxford (GB)) ; Gatignon, Lau (Lancaster University (GB)) et al.
This document summarises the main conclusions of the Conventional Beams Working group, which has analysed the beam-related and technical requirements and requests in the proposals to the Physics Beyond Colliders study, mainly for the North Area at the CERN SPS. We present results from studies on feasibility, requirements, compatibility between proposals and, where possible, the order of magnitude of the costs. [...]

A systematic Effect in EDM Rings due to radial Offsets of electrostatic Bendings and longitudinal Magnetic Fields / Cilento, Vera (CERN) ; Carli, Christian (CERN)
Optimization and realistic estimates of the sensitivity of the measurement of charged particle Electric Dipole Moment (EDM) in storage rings require a good understanding of systematic errors that can contribute to a vertical spin build-up mimicking the EDM signal to be detected. A specific case of systematic effects due to offsets of electrostatic bendings and longitudinal magnetic fields is studied. [...]

Vertical Spin build-up due to Vertical Offset in Quadrupoles and Horizontal Betatron Oscillations / Cilento, Vera (CERN) ; Carli, Christian (CERN)
Many proposals to measure a possible small Electric Dipole Moment (EDM) of charged particles are based on the magic energy concept. Without EDM and for a ring without imperfections, an initial longitudinal polarization of a bunch is maintained in electro-static bendings by operation at a particular energy called the magic energy.

Post-LS3 Experimental Options in ECN3 / Ahdida, Claudia (CERN) ; Arduini, Gianluigi (CERN) ; Balazs, Kincso (CERN) ; Bartosik, Hannes (CERN) ; Bernhard, Johannes (CERN) ; Boyarsky, Alexey (Leiden University (NL)) ; Brod, Joachim (University of Cincinnati) ; Brugger, Markus (CERN) ; Calviani, Marco (CERN) ; Ceccucci, Augusto (CERN) et al.
The Experimental Cavern North 3 (ECN3) is an underground experimental cavern on the CERN Prévessin site. ECN3 currently hosts the NA62 experiment, with a physics programme devoted to rare kaon decays and searches of hidden particles approved until Long Shutdown 3 (LS3). [...]

A Long-Baseline Atom Interferometer at CERN: Conceptual Feasibility Study / Arduini, G.
We present results from exploratory studies, supported by the Physics Beyond Colliders (PBC) Study Group, of the suitability of a CERN site and its infrastructure for hosting a vertical atom interferometer (AI) with a baseline of about 100 m [...]

Findings of the Physics Beyond Colliders ECN3 Beam Delivery Task Force / Ahdida, Claudia (CERN) ; Bartosik, Hannes (CERN) ; Bernhard, Johannes (CERN) ; Brugger, Markus (CERN) ; Calviani, Marco (CERN) ; Colinet, Antoine (CERN) ; Esposito, Luigi Salvatore (CERN) ; Franqueira Ximenes, Rui (CERN) ; Fraser, Matthew Alexander (CERN) ; Gautheron, Fabrice (University of Patras (GR)) et al.
The ECN3 Beam Delivery Task Force was mandated by the PBC Study Group to assess the technical feasibility of increasing the proton beam intensity to the ECN3 hall of the North Area to satisfy the demands of a compelling set of PBC experimental physics proposals. This report summarises the findings of the Task Force that converge on a technically feasible solution with an implementation timeline that could exploit and build upon the investment already foreseen as part of Phase 1 of the NA-CONS project, and take the SPS complex into a new intensity frontier for Fixed Target physics in Run4..
