TI - DarkSRF: Using Accelerator Technology to Search for a Dark Photon J2 - Proc. of NAPAC2022, Albuquerque, NM, USA, 07-12 August 2022 CY - Albuquerque, NM, USA T2 - International Particle Accelerator Conference T3 - 5 LA - english AB - Superconducting radio frequency (SRF) cavities have long been used to accelerate beams of charged particles. But their extremely high quality factors >10¹⁰ make them useful in high sensitivity searches for physics beyond the standard model. DarkSRF is a ’light-shining-through-the-wall’ (LSW) experiment in which two SRF cavities are tuned to the same frequency and only one is powered. RF power appearing in the unpowered cavity could be a sign of conversion of photons from the powered cavity into dark photons, and then conversion back into photons. In this contribution, we overview the concept, experimental apparatus, and first results. PB - JACoW Publishing CP - Geneva, Switzerland ER -
