Description
We explore the possibility of detecting WIMP(Weakly Interacting Massive Particle) Dark
Matter(DM) interacting via photon through its electric or magnetic dipole moments occuring at
one loop, in so called Beam Dump experiments. We focus on one such experiment in
particular, E613 in Fermilab, which involves a 400 GeV proton beam incident on a Tungsten
target producing DM particles in this high energy collision. The DM particles so
produced are then detected via scattering off lead nuclei placed behind appropriate
shielding. We discuss the limits on the dipolar model of DM coming from such an
experiment.
