Dark matter portals to SM •  The question of Dark Matter (DM): What makes up most of the Universe's mass? is still open

•  LHC Phase I: no DM candidates so far. Expectations for further searches at Phase II. •  Can one expect a hint from high intensity experiments at sub-GeV scale? •  Models: dark sectors of SU(3)C x SU(2)L x U(1)Y singlet fields, coupled to SM by gravity, and possibly by other very weak forces. Search for dark forces is an additional way to detect DM.

•  SM allowed portals to DS: Higgs, RH neutrino couplings, kinetic mixing between U(1)Y and new U(1)x

The  most  popular  scenario  

New  hidden  vector  boson  A`  interacts    with  our  world  only  due  to  kine:c  mixing  with  

photon(or    maybe    with  Z  boson)      

Due  to  this  mixing  dark  photon  interacts    with  our  maAer  with  the                  charge

4. Conclusions• We proposed to perform an experiment

dedicated to the search for dark boson coupled with lepton generation(s) by using CERN SPS electron(muon) beams. If the dark boson exists it could be produced at electron(muon) nuclei collisions with the specific signature – the missing of the large fraction of the beam energy in the detector. A feasibility study of the experimental setup shows that using this signature

Dark matter portals to SM •  The question of Dark Matter (DM): What makes up most of the Universe's mass? is still open

•  LHC Phase I: no DM candidates so far. Expectations for further searches at Phase II. •  Can one expect a hint from high intensity experiments at sub-GeV scale? •  Models: dark sectors of SU(3)C x SU(2)L x U(1)Y singlet fields, coupled to SM by gravity, and possibly by other very weak forces. Search for dark forces is an additional way to detect DM.

•  SM allowed portals to DS: Higgs, RH neutrino couplings, kinetic mixing between U(1)Y and new U(1)x

7. Conclusions• We proposed to perform an experiment

dedicated to the search for dark boson coupled with second lepton generation by using CERN SPS muon beams. If the dark boson exists it could be produced at muon nuclei collisions with the specific signature – the missing of the large fraction of the beam energy in the detector. A feasibility study of the experimental setup shows that using
