Testing Meson Portal Dark Sector Solutions to the MiniBooNE Anomaly at CCM
A. A. Aguilar-Arevalo, S. Biedron, J. Boissevain +42
A solution to the MiniBooNE excess invoking rare three-body decays of the charged pions and kaons to new states in the MeV mass scale was recently proposed as a dark-sector explana…

A Snowmass Whitepaper: Dark Matter Production at Intensity-Frontier Experiments
G. Krnjaic, N. Toro, A. Berlin +11
Dark matter particles can be observably produced at intensity-frontier experiments, and opportunities in the next decade will explore important parameter space motivated by thermal…
Physics Opportunities for the Fermilab Booster Replacement
John Arrington, Joshua Barrow, Brian Batell +49
This white paper presents opportunities afforded by the Fermilab Booster Replacement and its various options. Its goal is to inform the design process of the Booster Replacement ab…
Quasi-Sterile Neutrinos from Dark Sectors I. BSM matter effects in neutrino oscillations and the short-baseline anomalies
Daniele S. M. Alves, William C. Louis, Patrick G. deNiverville
Quasi-sterile neutrinos are a natural consequence of dark sectors interacting with the Standard Model (SM) sector via neutrino- and vector-portals. Essentially, quasi-sterile neutr…
Prospects for detecting axionlike particles at the Coherent CAPTAIN-Mills experiment
A. A. Aguilar-Arevalo, D. S. M. Alves, S. Biedron +45
We show results from the Coherent CAPTAIN Mills (CCM) 2019 engineering run which begin to constrain regions of parameter space for axion-like particles (ALPs) produced in electroma…
New searches at the reactor experiments based on the dark axion portal
Patrick deNiverville, Hye-Sung Lee, Young-Min Lee
A nuclear reactor is a powerful tool to study neutrinos and light dark sector particles. Some of the reactor experiments have proven to be extremely useful already. Considering the…
On sub-GeV Dark Matter Production at Fixed-Target Experiments
Asher Berlin, Patrick deNiverville, Adam Ritz +2

We survey the sensitivity of past and present neutrino experiments to MeV-GeV scale dark matter, and find that these experiments possess novel sensitivity that has not yet fully ex…
The High-Energy Frontier of the Intensity Frontier: Closing the Dark Photon, Inelastic Dark Matter, and Muon g-2 Windows
Yu-Dai Tsai, Patrick deNiverville, Ming Xiong Liu
We study hidden sector and long-lived particles at past (CHARM and NuCal), present (NA62 and SeaQuest/DarkQuest), and future (LongQuest) experiments that are at the high-energy fro…
Implications of the dark axion portal for SHiP and FASER and the advantages of monophoton signals
Patrick deNiverville, Hye-Sung Lee
We investigate the implications of the dark axion portal interaction, the axion-photon-dark photon vertex, for the future experiments SHiP and FASER. We also study the phenomenolog…
Hunting sub-GeV dark matter with NOA near detector

We study the sensitivity of the NOA near detector to MeV-GeV dark matter while operating symbiotically with the neutrino program. We find that NOA could explore a large new r…
Implications of the dark axion portal for the muon g-2, B-factories, fixed target neutrino experiments and beam dumps
Patrick deNiverville, Hye-Sung Lee, Min-Seok Seo
The dark axion portal is a recently introduced portal between the standard model and the dark sector. It connects both the dark photon and the axion (or axion-like particle) to the…
