Title: Dark sectors at the Fermilab SeaQuest experiment

Abstract

We analyze the unique capability of the existing SeaQuest experiment at Fermilab to discover well-motivated dark sector physics by measuring displaced electron, photon, and hadron decay signals behind a compact shield. A planned installation of a refurbished electromagnetic calorimeter could provide powerful new sensitivity to GeV-scale vectors, dark Higgs bosons, scalars, axions, and inelastic and strongly interacting dark matter models. Lastly, this sensitivity is both comparable and complementary to NA62, SHiP, and FASER. SeaQuest’s ability to collect data now and over the next few years provides an especially exciting opportunity.

Prospects of direct search for dark photon and dark Higgs in SeaQuest/E1067 experiment at the Fermilab main injector

Journal Article Liu, Ming Xiong - Modern Physics Letters A

In this study, we present the current status and prospects of the dark sector physics search program of the SeaQuest/E1067 fixed target dimuon experiment at Fermilab Main Injector. There has been tremendous excitement and progress in searching for new physics in the dark sector in recent years. Dark sector refers to a collection of currently unknown particles that do not directly couple with the Standard Model (SM) strong and electroweak (EW) interactions but assumed to carry gravitational force, thus could be candidates of the missing Dark Matter (DM). Such particles may interact with the SM particles through “portal” interactions. Twomore »« less

Inelastic dark matter at the LHC lifetime frontier: ATLAS, CMS, LHCb, CODEX-b, FASER, and MATHUSLA

Journal Article Berlin, Asher ; Kling, Felix - Physical Review D

Visible signals from the decays of light long-lived hidden sector particles have been extensively searched for at beam dump, fixed-target, and collider experiments. If such hidden sectors couple to the standard model through mediators heavier than ~10 GeV , their production at low-energy accelerators is kinematically suppressed, leaving open significant pockets of viable parameter space. We investigate this scenario in models of inelastic dark matter, which give rise to visible signals at various existing and proposed LHC experiments, such as ATLAS, CMS, LHCb, CODEX-b, FASER, and MATHUSLA. These experiments can leverage the large center of mass energy of the LHCmore »« less

Dark Photon and Muon $g - 2$ Inspired Inelastic Dark Matter Models at the High-Energy Intensity Frontier

Journal Article Tsai, Yu-Dai ; deNiverville, Patrick ; Liu, Ming Xiong - Physical Review Letters

We study hidden-sector particles at past (CERN-Hamburg-Amsterdam-Rome-Moscow Collaboration and NuCal), present (NA62, SeaQuest, and DarkQuest), and future (LongQuest) experiments at the high-energy intensity frontier. We focus on exploring the minimal vector portal and the next-to-minimal models in which the productions and decays are decoupled. These next-to-minimal models have mostly been devised to explain experimental anomalies while avoiding existing constraints. We demonstrate that proton fixed-target experiments provide one of the most powerful probes for the MeV to few GeV mass range of these models, using inelastic dark matter (iDM) as an example. We consider an iDM model with a small massmore »« less

Explaining $g_{μ} - 2$ and $R_{K^{(*)}}$ using the light mediators of $U (1)_{T 3 R}$

Journal Article Dutta, Bhaskar ; Ghosh, Sumit ; Huang, Peisi ; ... - Physical Review D

Scenarios in which right-handed light Standard Model fermions couple to a new gauge group, U(1)_T3R, can naturally generate a sub-GeV dark matter candidate. But such models necessarily have large couplings to the Standard Model, generally yielding tight experimental constraints. We show that the contributions to g_u-2 from the dark photon and dark Higgs largely cancel out in the narrow window where all the experimental constraints are satisfied, leaving a net correction that is consistent with recent measurements from Fermilab. These models inherently violate lepton universality, and UV completions of these models can include quark flavor violation that can explain R_K(*)more »« less

Fermilab E906/SeaQuest Drell-Yan Experiment

Journal Article Nakahara, Kazutaka - AIP Conference Proceedings

The E906/SeaQuest experiment will use the 120 GeV proton beam extracted from the Fermilab Main Injector to measure the Drell-Yan cross section in p-p, p-d, and p-A scattering. Data from liquid hydrogen and deuterium targets will be sensitive to the light anti-quark asymmetry, d-bar/u-bar, over a range of parton momentum fraction 0.04<x<0.45. Previous measurements from the E866/NuSea experiment have shown that while there were clear signs of flavor asymmetry at moderate x, the quark sea became flavor symmetric at higher x, suggesting a possible shift in the underlying mechanism generating the sea. Measurements from solid nuclear targets (carbon, calcium, andmore »« less
