The Search for Hidden Particles (SHiP) Collaboration has shown that the CERN SPS accelerator with its 400 $\mathrm{\small GeV/c}$ proton beam offers a unique opportunity to explore the Hidden Sector. The proposed experiment is an intensity…
The $\pi_1(1600)$, a $J^{PC} = 1^{-+}$ exotic meson has been observed by experiments using pion beams. Theorists predict that photon beams could produce gluonic hybrid mesons, of which the $\pi_1(1600)$ is a candidate, at enhanced levels…

One of the most intriguing puzzles in hadron spectroscopy are the numerous charmonium-like states observed in the last decade, including charged states that are manifestly exotic. The $BABAR$ and Belle experiments have extensively studied…
New results on single spin asymmetries of charged hadrons produced in deep-inelastic scattering of muons on a transversely polarised LiD target are presented. The data were taken in the years 2002, 2003 and 2004 with the COMPASS…

In order to study diffractive dissociation reactions, COMPASS has taken data with a 190 GeV/$c$ pion beam impinging on a liquid hydrogen target in 2008 and 2009. At squared four-momentum transfers to the target t' between 0.1 GeV$^2/c^2$…
This article gives a brief overview of some recent advances in our understanding of the physics of dense strongly interacting matter, from measurements done at the CERN SPS. The presently available results are very interesting, and are…
