Description
SHiP (Search for Hidden Particles) and the associated CERN SPS Beam Dump Facility is a new general-purpose experiment proposed at the SPS to search for "hidden" particles which are predicted by many recently elaborated models of Hidden Sector of the Standard Model. The experiment searches for very weakly interacting long-lived particles and crucially depends on effective background suppression. The Magnetic Muon Shield is the key elements to achieve this suppression. Being made of several magnets of ~30m length, it requires a very fine tuning to suppress muon background in a full momentum range from ultrasoft to ultrahard simultaneously.
In this presentation we present Bayesian based optimization of the SHiP Muon Shield in 40+ parameters space. Corresponding challenges related to the high dimensibility, high memory consumption, massive calculations, and other aspects of the general detector optimization, as well as approaches to resolve these problems are discussed.
