Axion-like Particle Searches at DarkQuest

Nikita Blinov,
Elizabeth Kowalczyk,

Abstract: Axion-like particles (ALPs) interacting with the Standard Model can be abundantly produced in proton beam fixed-target experiments. Looking for their displaced decays is therefore an effective search strategy for ALPs with a mass in the MeV to GeV range. Focusing on the benchmark models where the ALP interacts dominantly with photons or gluons, we show that the proposed DarkQuest experiment at Fermilab will be able to test parameter space which has been previously inaccessible. We pay particular attention to t… Show more

“…Since both primary and secondary axion productions lead to the same 2γ signal, all these processes need be simulated to obtain the result. For a 20 GeV electron beam an hypothetical experiment of this type could be sensitive to the region of parameter space, which coincides with the results of similar setups including SeaQuest/DarkQuest [48,49] LUXE-NPOD [46], NA62 [50], and FASER2 [51].…”

“…The DarkQuest proton beam dump experiment, a proposed upgrade of the existing SeaQuest/ SpinQuest experiment at Fermilab, has excellent prospects to search for light, long-lived exotic particles [624][625][626][627], including HNLs [628]. The SeaQuest/SpinQuest experiment utilizes part of the Fermilab 120 GeV Main Injector proton beam.…”
