DUNE-PRISM sensitivity to light dark matter

Abstract

We explore the sensitivity of the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) near detector and the proposed DUNE-PRISM movable near detector to sub-GeV dark matter, specifically scalar dark matter coupled to the standard model via a sub-GeV dark photon. We consider dark matter produced in the DUNE target that travels to the detector and scatters off electrons. By combining searches for dark matter at many off-Axis positions with DUNE-PRISM, sensitivity to this scenario can be much stronger than when performing a measurement at one on-Axis position.
