Description
The HIBEAM experiment, the first stage of the HIBEAM–NNBAR program at the European Spallation Source (ESS), is a multidisciplinary effort designed to explore a wide range of fundamental physics questions. Its primary objectives include high-sensitivity searches for neutron oscillations, sterile neutrons, and axion-like particles, as well as investigations of exotic neutron decay channels.
In this talk, I will present an overview of the current status of the HIBEAM program—covering both technological and detector developments- and highlight how the physics scope has expanded well beyond neutron oscillation studies. The project continues to evolve into a broader effort addressing key open problems in particle physics, including matter–antimatter asymmetry, CP violation, and baryon number violation.
