Title: Search for a dark photon in electroproduced $e^{+} e^{-}$ pairs with the Heavy Photon Search experiment at JLab

Abstract

The Heavy Photon Search experiment took its first data in a 2015 engineering run using a 1.056 GeV, 50 nA electron beam provided by CEBAF at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility, searching for a prompt, electroproduced dark photon with a mass between 19 and 81 MeV/c2. A search for a resonance in the e+e- invariant mass distribution, using 1.7 days (1170 nb-1) of data, showed no evidence of dark photon decays above the large QED background, confirming earlier searches and demonstrating the full functionality of the experiment. Upper limits on the square of the coupling of the dark photon to the standard model photon are set at the level of 6×10-6. Future runs with higher luminosity will explore new territory.

Searching for prompt and long-lived dark photons in electroproduced $e^{+} e^{-}$ pairs with the heavy photon search experiment at JLab

Journal Article Adrian, P. H. ; Baltzell, N. A. ; Battaglieri, M. ; ... - Physical Review. D.

The heavy photon search experiment (HPS) at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility searches for electroproduced dark photons. We report results from the 2016 engineering run consisting of 10 608 nb^–1 of data for both the prompt and displaced vertex searches. A search for a prompt resonance in the e⁺e^– invariant mass distribution between 39 and 179 MeV showed no evidence of dark photons above the large QED background, limiting the coupling of ε²≳10^–5, in agreement with previous searches. The search for displaced vertices showed no evidence of excess signal over background in the masses between 60 and 150 MeV,more »« less

Search for a Dark Photon in $e^{+} e^{-}$ Collisions atBaBar

Journal Article Lees, J. P. ; Poireau, V. ; Tisserand, V. ; ... - Physical Review Letters

Dark sectors charged under a new Abelian interaction have recently received much attention in the context of dark matter models. These models introduce a light new mediator, the so-called dark photon (A'), connecting the dark sector to the standard model. We present a search for a dark photon in the reaction e⁺e^-→γA', A'→e⁺e^-, μ⁺μ^- using 514 fb^-1 of data collected with the BABAR detector. We observe no statistically significant deviations from the standard model predictions, and we set 90% confidence level upper limits on the mixing strength between the photon and dark photon at the level of10^-4-10^-3 for dark photonmore »« less

First measurement of the polarization observable E in the $\vec{p} (\vec{γ}, π^{+}) n$ reaction up to 2.25 GeV

Journal Article Strauch, S. ; Briscoe, W. J. ; Döring, M. ; ... - Physics Letters B

First results from the longitudinally polarized frozen-spin target (FROST) program are reported. The double-polarization observable E , for the reaction y^→p^→→π⁺n, has been measured using a circularly polarized tagged-photon beam, with energies from 0.35 to 2.37 GeV. The final-state pions were detected with the CEBAF Large Acceptance Spectrometer in Hall B at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility. These polarization data agree fairly well with previous partial-wave analyses at low photon energies. Over much of the covered energy range, however, significant deviations are observed, particularly in the high-energy region where high-L multipoles contribute. The data have been included in newmore »« less
