Sensitivity of MAGIX@MESA to BSM effects via Bethe-Heitler pair production

Le résumé fourni par la source

We explore the sensitivity of the upcoming MAGIX experiment at the MESA facility to light Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) mediators in the few to hundred MeV mass range. Utilizing high-intensity electron beams of 55 MeV and 105 MeV on a heavy Ta 181 target, we investigate the production of scalar, pseudoscalar, vector, and axial vector mediators via the Bethe-Heitler process. By optimizing the asymmetric kinematic acceptance of the double-spectrometer setup to enhance the signal over background ratio, we demonstrate that MAGIX can probe mediator-electron couplings down to O ( 10 − 4 ) , offering a competitive probe of the dark sector in the sub-GeV mass range.
