Description

High Intensity fixed target neutrino experiments present a new opportunity to search for sub-GeV Dark Matter. Our idea is to search for sub-GeV dark matter at DUNE near detector or a dedicated Dark Matter detector. Neutrinos are the major background for the Dark Matter experiment. Dark matter-nucleon or DM-electron scattering signal looks like neutrino neutral current scattering signal. In this talk, I will mainly discuss about the DM production and how one can distinguish the two signal.
