Hunting for Light Dark Matter with the NOvA Detector
Direct detection of dark matter is the ultimate goal of experimental physics. NOvA Near detector may becapable to put an upper limit on the lightweight dark matter (LDM) particle production, in the 120-GeVproton-nucleus collisions, engaged in producing the high-intensity NuMI neutrino beam. We summarizethe approach used in the search for the elastic, dark matter - electron scattering in the Near Detector, andbriefly mention two other efforts to observe the elusive dark matter interactions, with the NOvA detectors.
