DarkQuest:费米实验室主注入器120 GeV暗区升级为SpinQuest
DarkQuest: A dark sector upgrade to SpinQuest at the 120 GeV Fermilab Main Injector
摘要:
扩大我们搜寻暗物质的质量范围和技术是全球粒子物理计划的重要组成部分。基于加速器的搜索暗物质和暗区粒子是该计划的一个独特的引人注目的部分,作为一种在实验室中创建和检测暗物质的方法,并通过搜索介质和激发的暗物质粒子来探索暗区。本文着重于开发DarkQuest实验概念,并对统称为LongQuest的相关增强功能进行了展望。DarkQuest是一个质子固定目标实验,对MeV-GeV质量范围内的一系列可见暗扇区特征具有领先的灵敏度。因为它建立在现有的加速器和探测器基础设施之上,它提供了一个强大但成本适中的实验计划,可以在短时间内实现。
英文摘要:
Expanding the mass range and techniques by which we search for dark matter is an important part of the worldwide particle physics program. Accelerator-based searches for dark matter and dark sector particles are a uniquely compelling part of this program as a way to both create and detect dark matter in the laboratory and explore the dark sector by searching for mediators and excited dark matter particles. This paper focuses on developing the DarkQuest experimental concept and gives an outlook on related enhancements collectively referred to as LongQuest. DarkQuest is a proton fixed-target experiment with leading sensitivity to an array of visible dark sector signatures in the MeV-GeV mass range. Because it builds off of existing accelerator and detector infrastructure, it offers a powerful but modest-cost experimental initiative that can be realized on a short timescale.
