Light Dark Matter at the ICARUS Neutrino Detector Using the NuMI Beam: selections and sensitivity

This talk will discuss the analysis framework made for a vector-portal light dark matter search using forthcoming data from the ICARUS-T600 detector at the Short-Baseline Neutrino physics program at Fermilab. Light dark matter has the potential to be found at the ICARUS-T600 detector thanks to its high-resolution timing and position 5.7 degrees off of the NuMI neutrino beam, where the low mass dark matter flux is expected to peak for a wide range of masses. Here the relevant backgrounds and analysis cuts will be discussed, and the sensitivity of the study to potential light dark matter demonstrated.
