“…These tests for horizontal branch stars (HB) enlarge the mass range up to 1− 10 3 keV, and a higher range is expected for red giant stars (RG) [24]. Other bounds on this mass range can be obtained from different techniques, such as multi-cathode counters [25].…”

Dark matter could be made up of dark photons, massive but very light particles whose interactions with matter resemble those of usual photons but suppressed by a small mixing parameter. We analyze the main approaches to dark photon interactions and how they can be applied to direct detection experiments which test different ranges of masses and mixings. A new experiment based on counting dark photons from induced atomic transitions in a target material is proposed. This approach appears to be particularly appropriate for dark photon detection in the meV mass range, extending the constraints in the mixing parameter by up to eight orders of magnitude with respect to previous experiments.
