Description
This 1.5-day meeting is the second meeting of the DAMSA (DArk Messenger Searches at an Accelerator) collaboration. The innovative yet challenging nature of the DAMSA experiment requires a well-laid-out strategy for continued R&D of the detector technologies that enable the experiment to discover the dark messenger. 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. The meeting is also geared toward planning the overall, long-term strategy of the experiment whose ambition is to cover the remaining 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.
A well-balanced mixture of theorists and experimentalists will work together to exchange ideas for various BSM physics opportunities and to discuss tasks necessary to support the timely exploitation of these opportunities.
This meeting will be held on the campus of Seoul National University from Thursday, from June 18 to June 19, 2026.
Expected physics topics of the meeting
This meeting is designed to be highly productive, focusing on:
-
Exchanging ideas for new physics topics beyond the Axion-Like Particle (ALP)
-
Discussing benchmark detector technologies for ALP discovery in its two EM particle final states, along well as potential improvements for other physics topics.
-
Establishing a concrete strategy for the timely realization of the experiment, including securing the necessary funding.
