11. Search for sub-GeV dark matter at DUNE Near Detector

Dr Animesh Chatterjee (University of Texas at Arlington)

Various cosmological and astrophysical observations strongly support the existence of the Dark Matter (DM) with an abundance of ≈ 27%. All the astrophysical evidences of dark matter are through its gravitational interactions. A central question is whether DM particles experience interactions with ordinary matter beyond gravity. Recent theoretical work has highlighted the motivations for...

12. Fixed-Target Minicharge Searches: FerMINI and Neutrino Experiments

Yu-Dai Tsai

12/4/18, 11:30 AM

We propose a dedicated search for minicharged particles (MCP) and light dark matter at Fermilab utilizing proton-fixed target facilities. First, we present the constraints and sensitivity projections considering the MCP scattering with the electrons in the neutrino detectors, including SBND, MiniBooBE, MicroBooNE, DUNE, and SHiP. Then we present a new proposal, FerMINI, to place a new...

45. Search for Inelastic Boosted Dark Matter in DUNE Far Detector

Dr Seodong Shin (University of Chicago / Yonsei University)

12/4/18, 12:00 PM

In this talk, I will discuss on the search for inelastic boosted dark matter (iBDM) in DUNE. In such a class of model, a light DM which is boosted enough to pass the energy threshold can come from dense dark matter region in the universe, such as the galactic center, the sun, dwarf spheroidal galaxies, showing unique signal features easily separable from potential backgrounds. I will talk...
