Dark Sector Physics at High-Intensity Experiments
Stefania Gori, Mike Williams, Phil Ilten +10
Is Dark Matter part of a Dark Sector? The possibility of a dark sector neutral under Standard Model (SM) forces furnishes an attractive explanation for the existence of Dark Matter…
Axial vectors in DarkCast
Chaja Baruch, Philip Ilten, Yotam Soreq +1
In this work, we explore new spin-1 states with axial couplings to the standard model fermions. We develop a data-driven method to estimate their hadronic decay rates based on data…
LHCb future dark-sector sensitivity projections for Snowmass 2021
Daniel Craik, Phil Ilten, Daniel Johnson +1
We provide future LHCb dark-sector sensitivity projections for use in the Snowmass reports. These include updated projections for dark photons and the Higgs portal, along with new…
Unleashing the full power of LHCb to probe Stealth New Physics
Martino Borsato, Xabier Cid Vidal, Yuhsin Tsai +38
In this paper, we describe the potential of the LHCb experiment to detect Stealth physics. This refers to dynamics beyond the Standard Model that would elude searches that focus on…
Searches for dark photons at accelerators
Matt Graham, Christopher Hearty, Mike Williams
Dark matter particles may interact with other dark matter particles via a new force mediated by a dark photon, , which would be the dark-sector analog to the ordinary p…
Enhancing searches for resonances with machine learning and moment decomposition
Ouail Kitouni, Benjamin Nachman, Constantin Weisser +1
A key challenge in searches for resonant new physics is that classifiers trained to enhance potential signals must not induce localized structures. Such structures could result in…
Photoproduction of axion-like particles
Daniel Aloni, Cristiano Fanelli, Yotam Soreq +1
We explore the sensitivity of photon-beam experiments to axion-like particles (ALPs) with QCD-scale masses whose dominant coupling to the Standard Model is either to photons or glu…
Coupling QCD-scale axion-like particles to gluons
Daniel Aloni, Yotam Soreq, Mike Williams
We present a novel data-driven method for determining the hadronic interaction strengths of axion-like particles (ALPs) with QCD-scale masses. Using our method, it is possible to c…
Serendipity in dark photon searches
Philip Ilten, Yotam Soreq, Mike Williams +1
Searches for dark photons provide serendipitous discovery potential for other types of vector particles. We develop a framework for recasting dark photon searches to obtain constra…
Disentangling Heavy Flavor at Colliders
Philip Ilten, Nicholas L. Rodd, Jesse Thaler +1
We propose two new analysis strategies for studying charm and beauty quarks at colliders. The first strategy is aimed at testing the kinematics of heavy-flavor quarks within an ide…
Dark Sectors 2016 Workshop: Community Report
Jim Alexander, Marco Battaglieri, Bertrand Echenard +201
This report, based on the Dark Sectors workshop at SLAC in April 2016, summarizes the scientific importance of searches for dark sector dark matter and forces at masses beneath the…
Photoproduction of leptophobic bosons
Cristiano Fanelli, Mike Williams
We propose a search for photoproduction of leptophobic bosons that couple to quarks at the GlueX experiment at Jefferson Lab. We study in detail a new gauge boson that couples to b…
Inclusive Dark Photon Search at LHCb
Philip Ilten, Yotam Soreq, Jesse Thaler +2
We propose an inclusive search for dark photons at the LHCb experiment based on both prompt and displaced di-muon resonances. Because the couplings of the dark photon are inhe…
A direct probe of the intrinsic charm content of the proton
Tom Boettcher, Philip Ilten, Mike Williams
Measurement of bosons produced in association with charm jets in proton-proton collisions in the forward region provides a direct probe of a potential non-perturbative (…
Dark photons from charm mesons at LHCb
Philip Ilten, Jesse Thaler, Mike Williams +1
We propose a search for dark photons at the LHCb experiment using the charm meson decay . At nominal luminosity, …
Prospects for the Measurement of the Unitarity Triangle Angle gamma from B0 to DK+pi- Decays
Tim Gershon, Mike Williams
The potential for a precise measurement of the Unitarity Triangle angle in future experiments from the decay is well-known. It has recently been suggested tha…
