Outline The dark sector basic model Motivation for dark photon searches Recent results on the Dark Photon searches Positron Annihilation into Dark Matter Experiment PADME proposal Beam conditions and the Target The electromagnetic calorimeter The dipole magnet The spectrometer The Vacuum chamber Analysis technique for annihilation production Signal selection criteria Positron flux measurement Limit evaluation Experimental technique for bremsstrahlung production Decay in e+e- pair in thin target experiment The dump experiments Conclusion and prospects M. Raggi and P. Valente Perugia 09/03/15

The simplest dark sector model The simplest hidden sector model just introduces one extra U(1) gauge symmetry and a corresponding gauge boson: the “dark photon" or U boson. Two type of interactions with SM particles should be considered As in QED, this will generate new interactions of the type: Not all the SM particles need to be charged under this new symmetry In the most general case qf is different in between leptons and quarks and can even be 0 for quarks. (P. Fayet, Phys. Lett. B 675, 267 (2009).) The coupling constant and the charges can be generated effectively through the kinetic mixing between the QED and the new U(1) gauge bosons In this case qf is just proportional to electric charge and it is equal for both quarks and leptons. e- A’ e+ A’ g M. Raggi and P. Valente Perugia 09/03/15

A’ production and decays U boson can be produced in e+ collision on target by: Bremsstrahlung: e+N →e+NA’ Annihilation : e+e-→ gA’ If no dark matter candidate lighter than the A’ boson exist: A’→e+e-,m+m-,p+p- the so called “Visible” decays For MA’<210 MeV A’ only decay to e+e- BR(e+e-)=1 If any dark matter c with 2Mc<MA’ exist A’ will dominantly decay into pure dark matter and BR(l+l-) becomes small suppressed by e2 A'→cc ~ 1 so called “Invisible” decays” Meson decays M. Raggi and P. Valente Perugia 09/03/15

Positron excess in cosmic rays Positron excess: PAMELA, FERMI, AMS02 No significant excess in antiprotons Consistent with pure secondary production Leptofilic low mass dark matter annihilation? M. Raggi and P. Valente Perugia 09/03/15

Hints for dark matter annihilation? c A’ е+ е- е- е+ g' A', .... If Dark Matter is the explanation to the positron excess, then the mediator should be light ( < 2*Mproton) Coupling constant to DM could be arbitrary (even О(1)) The Lagrangian term can arise through Fermions being charged (mili) under this new gauge symmetry (qf  0 for some flavors) Kinetic mixing between ordinary photon and DM one Using simply an effective description: M. Raggi and P. Valente Perugia 09/03/15

Contribution to g-2 from dark photon Muon g-2 SM discrepancy About 3s discrepancy between theory and experiment (3.6s, if taking into account only e+e-hadrons) Contribution to g-2 from dark photon A’ M. Raggi and P. Valente Perugia 09/03/15

The DAMA-Libra effect A’ arXiv:1401.3295v1 A’ Nuclear recoil by the exchange of a dark photon Independent of c mass value radiopure NaI (Tl) M. Raggi and P. Valente Perugia 09/03/15

Observation of 3.5KeV X-ray line Recently a 3.55 KeV X-ray line (~3s) has been reported in the stacks analysis of 73 galaxy clusters from the XMM-Newton telescope arXiv:1402.2301v1 A similar analysis finds an evidence at the 4.4s level for a 3.52 KeV line from the analysis of the X-ray spectrum of the Andromeda galaxy (M31) and the Perseus Cluster arXiv:1402.4119 arXiv:1402.2301v1 arXiv:1402.4119 M. Raggi and P. Valente Perugia 09/03/15

U(1) symmetry explanation Many models have been developed to explain such a line based on sterile neutrinos A possible explanation of such a line in term of the U(1) gauge theory with an Higgs mechanism is proposed in arXiv:1404.2220v1 A single new scalar dark matter field f of mass 7.1 KeV is introduced f couples to SM Higgs through A’ boson Due to the very small mass f can only decay into gg or nn creating the Xray line at 3.5 KeV After spontaneous symmetry breaking of the U(1) symmetry the A’ boson becomes massive Due to constraints coming from the relic abundance a mass interval has been identified by authors for the A’ boson mass 7KeV<MA’<10MeV M. Raggi and P. Valente Perugia 09/03/15

Dark sector with dark Higgs Model assumes the existence of an elementary dark Higgs h’ boson, which spontaneously breaks the U(1) symmetry. PRD 79, 115008 (2009) U boson can be produced together with a dark Higgs h’ through a Higgs-strahlung e+e-→Uh’ Cross section =20fb x (a/aD)(e2/10-4)(10GeV)2/s For light h’ and U (MU,h’<2Mm) final state with 3(e+e- pair) are predicted Background events with 6 leptons are very rare at this low energies Due to U,h’being very narrow resonances strong kinematical constraints are available on lepton pair masses Experimental search by BaBar and KLOE for U masses above 200 MeV M. Raggi and P. Valente Perugia 09/03/15

Lett. 108, 211801 (2012) KLOE-2 arXiv:1501.06795 Production mechanism being bremsstrahlung allows PADME to reach >100MeV A’ masses No data available below 200 MeV in MA’ PADME can provide sensitivity in unexplored parameter region.

Status eq=0 and A’→cc decays Removing the assumption BR(A’→e+e-=1) and introducing dark matter M. Raggi and P. Valente Perugia 09/03/15

Why dark photon invisible decays? W. J. Marciano et al. The invisible search technique remove any assumption except coupling to leptons A’ increase its capability of having escaped detection so far No data in the minimal assumptions “If, instead, the A’ decays primarily into invisible light particles (e.g. a pair of dark matter particles with mass < mA’/2), that change would essentially negate all the bounds except those coming from anomalous magnetic moments” arXiv:1402.3620v2 W. J. Marciano et al. arXiv:1402.3620v2 At present there are no MI experimental limit for the A’invisible decay Just a never published ArXiv 0808.0017 by Babar ‘08 with very limited sensitivity on e2 (U3SgU assumes coupling to quarks!) Indirect limit from K+→p+nn (assumes coupling to quarks!) arXiv:1309.5084v1 M. Raggi and P. Valente Perugia 09/03/15

Invisible dark photon and kaons In models assuming that the dark photon couples to SM through kinetic mixing eq≠0 K±→p±nn can be used to constrain K±→p±A’ Zd=A’ for Marciano! Depending on how the model is build the limit can change significantly for example allowing the presence of dark Z. M. Raggi and P. Valente Perugia 09/03/15

The PADME approach At present all experimental results rely on at least one of the following model dependent assumptions: A’ decays to e+e- (visible decay assumption BR(A’→e+e- = 1) A’ couples with the same strength to all fermions (eq= el) (kinetic mixing) In the most general scenario (PADME) A’ can decay to dark sector particles lighter than the A’ BR(A’→e+e- <<1) Dump and meson decay experiment only limit e2BR(A’→e+e- <<1) A’ can couple to quark with a coupling constant smaller el or even 0 Suppressed or no production at hadronic machines and in mesons decays PADME aims to detect A’ produced in e+e- annihilation and decaying into invisible by searching for missing mass in e+e-→gA’ A’→XX No assumption on the A’ decays products and coupling to quarks Only minimal assumption: A’ bosons couples to leptons PAMDE will limits the coupling of any new light particle produced in e+e- collision (scalars (Hd), vectors (A’ and Zd)) M.
