Simulation and Analysis overview of DarkLight@ARIEL

ORAL

Abstract

The DarkLight experiment installed this summer at the ARIEL facility at TRIUMF is currently investigating beyond standard model physics at 10 to 20 MeV energy scale. Inspired by the anomaly signal observed in 8Be* decay by the ATOMKI group, DarkLight will search for evidence of the possible new boson by measuring electron-positron pair production and reconstructing the photon mass using a two-spectrometer setup. In this presentation, a detailed discussion will be given on the simulation process and analysis framework of the experiment. Detector simulation and preliminary comparisons with data will be shown.
