The DarkLight @ Ariel Collaboration will meet at Stony Brook University for a one and a half day meeting to review and discuss the status of the experiment.
The format will be hybrid with some people attending in-person with others attending remotely via ZOOM. The ZOOM link will be sent to REGISTERED participants.
The search for a dark photon holds considerable interest in the physics community. Such a force carrier would begin to illuminate the dark sector. Many experiments have searched for such a particle, but so far it has proven elusive. In recent years the concept of a low mass dark photon has gained popularity in the physics community. Of particular recent interest is the ^8Be and ^4He anomaly, which could be explained by a 17 MeV mass dark photon. The proposed Darklight experiment would search for this potential low mass force carrier at ARIEL in the 10-20 MeV e^+e^- invariant mass range.
