Measuring Radiative Møller Scattering with DarkLight@ARIEL

ORAL

Abstract



The DarkLight experiment will take place at the ARIEL electron-linac located at TRIUMF, in Vancouver, Canada. The experiment will perform a search for beyond-the-standard-model particles in the 10-20 MeV/c2 mass range. However, there are other physics opportunities available. With the spectrometers and low energy electron beam available to the experiment it would be possible to perform a precise measurement of Møller scattering at low energies. These measurements would probe the onset of radiative corrections in Møller scattering, and provide a test of existing event generators. Such measurements directly informs the technique of using Møller scattering as a luminosity monitor, or even as an experimental signal, e.g. the MOLLER experiment at JLab. In this talk I will present the DarkLight experiment, and demonstrate the potential of determining Møller scattering at low energies to test radiative corrections.
