| Abstract | We report the results of the measurement of the muon flux emanating from the SHiP target at the CERN SPS. A replica of the SHiP target followed by a $2.4 \rm{m}$ iron hadron absorber was installed in the H4 400 GeV/c proton beamline. To measure the momentum spectrum, a spectrometer consisting of drift tubes and resistive plate chambers (RPCs) was placed around the Goliath magnet. During a three week period a dataset for analysis corresponding to $3.27 \times 10^{11}$ protons on target (POT) was recorded. This amounts to approximatively $1\%$ of a SHiP spill. The amount of accumulated data allows us to make a validation of the results from our Pythia and Geant4 based Monte Carlo (FairShip). |
