Shining light through walls : a search for dark photons
The Standard Model of particle physics, although successful, is known to be defcient both theoretically and experimentally. Many proposed extensions to the SM predict the existence of Weakly Interacting Slim Particles (WISPs). In this thesis the construction and results of the CASCADE microwave …

Reconstructing Dark Photons with the DarkQuest Experiment at Fermilab
The DarkQuest experiment will search for dark photons by looking for their decay into standard model leptons which can be detected. DarkQuest will use the momentum of these standard model leptons to calculate the position or vertex where the dark photons decay. Looking at the vertex positions will …

The Search for Dark Photons at LHCb and Machine Learning in Particle Physics
Investigating hypothetical particles called dark photons helps shed light on the nature of dark matter, which is one of the biggest open questions in particle physics. This thesis presents world-leading limits in searches for prompt-like and long-lived dark photons decaying into two muons, as well …

Measuring the Reconstructed A' Acceptance of the Darkquest Electromagnetic Calorimeter
The Darkquest experiment seeks to utilize the existing proton dump beam and detector array at Fermilab, along with the addition of an Electromagnetic Calorimeter (EMCal), for a low cost but well suited way to search for dark matter candidates at energies in the MeV to GeV range. Darkquest will …

Exploring New Frontiers in High Energy Physics: Boosted Resonances Decaying To Quarks, Foundation Models, and Heterogeneous Computing at the CMS Experiment
… mediators. Using conventions on s-channel dark matter mediators, limits are set on dark photons and dark matter in the context of the relic density.

Parton Distributions in Beyond the Standard Model Theories
… of PDFs together with the parameters of a dark photon model; in particular, we use projected high-luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) data to investigate the sensitivity of the HL-LHC to our particular class of light, leptophobic dark photons. Subsequently, in Chapter 3, we introduce the Standard Model …

Novel Electromagnetic Properties of Elementary Particles
… discuss neutrino electromagnetic properties, a dark photon portal to dark matter and magnetic monopoles produced by cosmic rays in the milky way. We don't just discuss these models, but show how to place(in some cases) leading constraints on these models using future particle physics experiments …
