Description
Dark photons have been well motivated as strong candidates for dark force carriers and light dark matter in the sub-GeV mass range. Fixed-target experiments as a promising complementary approach to the collider could have good sensitivity in the low mass range. We would present the proposed study of Dark SHINE experiment searching for dark photon produced via electron-nucleon interaction and decay invisibly based on the 10MHz 8GeV single electron beam at the future Shanghai SHINE facility. With 9E14 electron-on-target events (estimated about three years running), this experiment is expected to rule out most of the sensitive regions predicted by popular dark photon models.
