This 3.5 day meeting is the first meeting of the DAMSA (DArk Messenger Searches at an Accelerator) collaboration. ย The innovative yet challenging nature of the DAMSA experiment requires well laid down strategy for continued R&D of the detector technologies that enable the experiment to discover the dark messenger. ย The physics benchmark case, the Axion-Like Particle (ALP) decaying to two electromagnetic particle final states provides a powerful way to mitigate the challenging background from neutrons. ย The meeting also is gear toward planning on the overall, long term strategy of the experiment whose ambition is to cover the remainng open parameter space, using many different available accelerator facilities throughout the world, as a network of the experiment, leveraging the small scale of the detector. ย
A well-balanced mixture of theorists and experimentalists will work together toย exchangeย ideas for various BSM physics opportunities and to discuss tasks necessaryย to support theย timely exploitation of these opportunities.
This meeting will be held on the campus of the University of Texas at Arlington (CPB303, Physics Executive Conference Room) from Wednesday January 15 through half day Saturday Janurary 18, 2025. ย The first day is dedicated to data analysis in preparation for upcoming pathfinder and validation data taking.
Expected physics topics of the meeting
The meeting will focus on the exchanging ideas for new physics topics beyond the ALP and the necessay facilities to accomplisjh the physics goals. ย We will also discuss the benchmark detector technologies that focuses on discovering the ALP in its two EM particle final states but also the potential improvements to fulfil other physcis topics. ย Finally, we will have ample discussion time to establish the strategy to realizing the experiment in a timely fashion, including the stategy for securing necessary funds. ย
Expected outcome of the meeting
- Baseline conceptual detector design
- Experiment conceptual design for reaching to the targetted sensitivity
- Potential physics topics accomplishable at various facilities
- Necessary R&D for detector and experiment optimizations
