The PADME experiment, at the Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati, is dedicated to the search for a dark photon that decays into invisible channels.

With the present beam energy of 550 MeV it is possible to search for masses up to 23.7 MeV, while the foreseen statistics allows to scan coupling constants down to ∼ 10 −3 .

Abstract
The PADME experiment, at the Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati, is dedicated to the search for a dark photon that decays into invisible channels. Its aim is to observe the reaction e + e − → A γ, by searching for unbalanced final state events (A undetected), with a missing energy equal to the non-interacting A mass. With the present beam energy of 550 MeV it is possible to search for masses up to 23.7 MeV, while the foreseen statistics allows to scan coupling constants down to ∼ 10 −3 .| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
