SUMMARY:Next Generation Beam Dump Experiments to Search for Light Dark Matt
	er
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Gordan Krnjaic\, Perimeter Institute\, Canada\n\nPart
	 of the HET Seminar Series.\n\nAbstract:\nIn a broad class of consistent mo
	dels\, MeV to few-GeV dark matter interacts with ordinary matter through we
	akly coupled GeV-scale mediators. A suitable meter-scale (or smaller) detec
	tor situated downstream of an electron beam-dump can sensitively probe dark
	 matter interacting via sub-GeV mediators. These experiments can explore a 
	well-motivated and otherwise inaccessible region of dark matter parameter s
	pace with sensitivity several orders of magnitude beyond existing direct de
	tection constraints. This approach would also probe invisibly decaying new 
	MeV-GeV gauge bosons ("dark photons") down to kinetic mixing of \epsilon ~ 
	10^{-4}\, including the range of parameters relevant for explaining the (g-
	2)_{\mu} discrepancy. Sensitivity to other long-lived dark sector states an
	d to new milli-charge particles would also be improved.
