论文摘要
2016年，Atomki合作在铍激发状态的衰减中发现了一个异常，该状态与未知的携带力的玻色子的理论预测相匹配。我们建议在MU3E检测器上进行相同的参数空间上寻找这种假设的“深色光子”。我们讨论了可以观察到暗光子的机制，并概述了该检测器实验的细节。我们推断了这一基础工作，以分析实验灵敏度的投影。此外，我们量化了测量值的预期精度，以及所得数据如何表明存在暗光子的存在。最后，我们讨论了MU3E拟议搜索的潜在挑战。
In 2016, the Atomki collaboration discovered an anomaly in the decay of beryllium excited states that matched theoretical predictions for an unknown force-carrying boson. We suggest a search for such a hypothesized `dark photon' over the same parameter space to be carried out at the Mu3e detector. We discuss the mechanisms by which a dark photon may be observed, and outline the details of this detector experiment. We extrapolate on this groundwork to analyze projections for the sensitivity of the experiment. Additionally, we quantify the expected precision of the measurements and how the resulting data would indicate the existence of a dark photon. Finally, we discuss potential challenges of the proposed search at Mu3e.
