Description
The nature of dark matter and its relationship to the Standard Model is one of the highest priority open questions in particle physics today. Accelerator-based experiments are a powerful tool in the search for dark matter and the new bosons that may mediate its interactions with the known particles. The DarkLight experiment will search for such a new boson with preferential couplings to leptons in an important uncovered mass range. DarkLight will be based at the TRIUMF e-linac, and this project includes planned upgrades to the accelerator that will both increase its energy and make it accessible to other future experiments.
