Summer project work:Evaluation of the power of dark photon searches at the ILC - FIPS decays in the di-muon spectrumDescription/Brief:Description: FIPS (Feebly Interacting ParticleS) are proposed entities that can explain dark matter and the non-observation of such states at accelerators: The reason they have not yet been seen is rather than that they are too massive (the explanation of non-observation of SUSY), they are too feebly interacting to have been observed at LHC or LEP. Future e+e- machines opens up new ways to search for such states: while still having the same low-background conditions and known initial state as at LEP, the future machines will feature 1000 times higher luminosities compared to LEP. The project intends to make a study of the "dark photon" flavour of FIPS at the ILC. In this scenario, the dark photon does decay into SM particles, notably to muon pairs. The signal to search for is thus a very small, but very narrow, peak in the the di-muon spectrum. There is, however, no a priori position of the peak. The project contained one part which estimated the background rates, requiring full detector simulation. Working together with another student whose part was the generation of the signal, and fast detector simulation of it. We then combined the two and derived the discovery/exclusion potential of ILC for such a scenario.
