WP5 is responsible for adapting the ECN3 underground experimental cavern and its ancillary surface buildings to house the new Search for Hidden Particles (SHiP) experiment.

The charge of the work package encompasses the design, engineering and integration of the experimental area. During the Technical Design phase the work package will coordinate the different activities in close collaboration with the SHiP experiment project in order to converge on a final design.

WP5 is responsible for collecting and compiling the 3D integration models produced by the contributing CERN groups and the SHiP experiment to produce an integrated 3D structure, to ensure consistency, to respect envelopes and to respect of the operability/safety constraints. The validation of the integration studies are carried out in synergy with the NA-CONS project via the Integration Committee for Experimental Areas.

The dismantling of the existing experiment and its related infrastructure will be taken care of by WP5 together with the NA62 Dismantling project.

An important sustainability and cost saving measure falls under the scope of the WP5 to recover and recycle as part of the BDF shielding previously used as part of the PS Neutrino Facility located at the end of TT7 next to the Antimatter Decelerator on the CERN Meyrin site.
