1. 1. Pulse Amplitude Reconstruction in the LDMX Hadronic Calorimeter Readout

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Partikel- och kärnfysik

   Author : Aksel Draguanov Mihaylov; [2023]
   Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : The universe shows signs of containing some invisible matter, known as dark matter. There are many possible constituents for dark matter, one such being light dark matter which would interact with ordinary matter through a new mediator force and have masses in the range of a few MeV to GeV.

3. 2. Neutron Veto Inefficiency Studies with FLUKA for the LDMX Hadronic Calorimeter

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Partikel- och kärnfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

   Author : Jaida Raffelsberger; [2023]
   Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : Dark matter accounts for about 85% of all matter in the Universe, yet its particle nature remains unknown. The Light Dark Matter eXperiment (LDMX) is a proposed fixed-target missing-momentum experiment that intends to probe the predominantly experimentally uncharted MeV-GeV mass range for "light dark matter".

4. 3. Simulation of a prototype of the LDMX hadronic calorimeter and analysis of test beam data

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Partikel- och kärnfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

   Author : Péter György; [2022]
   Keywords : LDMX; HCal; TS; prototype; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : The Light Dark Matter eXperiment (LDMX) is an upcoming experiment to test the existence of dark matter in the mass range of 1 MeV - 1 GeV. It does so by looking for missing momentum and energy in collisions of an electron beam and a tungsten target, which could potentially indicate the existence of dark matter. READ MORE

5. 4. Test setup for LDMX HCal readout

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Partikel- och kärnfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

   Author : Joshua Greaves; [2020]
   Keywords : Dark matter; LDMX; dark photon; hadronic calorimeter; photomultiplier tube; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : It is evident from cosmological observations such as the Cosmic Microwave Background, and the motion of galaxies, that the universe consists of approximately 5 times more mass than visible matter can account for. The Light Dark Matter eXperiment (LDMX) will take a unique approach in its hunt for dark matter; it will look for missing momentum signals in electron collisions with a Tungsten target, and will be looking in the sub GeV energy range for evidence of dark matter interactions.

6. 5. Signal and Background Studies at 8 GeV for the Light Dark Matter eXperiment

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Partikel- och kärnfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

   Author : Péter György; [2020]
   Keywords : LDMX; Dark Matter; Light Dark Matter; 8 GeV; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : Light dark matter is a hypothesized form of dark matter in the 1 MeV to 1 GeV mass range. The Light Dark Matter eXperiment (LDMX) is an upcoming experiment to test the existence of light dark matter, by colliding an electron beam with a tungsten target and assembling a set of events that potentially indicate the existence of light dark matter.
