The DarkLight Experiment at Ariel/TRIUMF

ORAL

Abstract

The DarkLight@Ariel experiment will investigate beyond standard model physics at 10s-of-MeV-scale, inspired by the anomalous signal observed in 8Be* decay by the ATOMKI group. DarkLight will search for evidence of the possible new boson by measuring electron-positron pair production and reconstructing the photon mass using a two-spectrometer setup at the ARIEL electron accelerator at TRIUMF in Canada. In this talk, the motivation for this experiment will be discussed, and an update of the current status of the experiment will be given.
