PREFACE AND OUTLINE Not going to go into the physics and motivation in much detail

Just some quick overview of the various possibilities New: a muon beam fixed target experiment at FNAL

Then ponder we can discuss how this could evolve towards 2026 and beyond

all the direct detection bounds (current and future)

Accelerators provide strong complementarity to DD over a range of thermal targets because it can produce DM candidates relativistically

  • SBND with improved

beam dump will probe scalar relic density line.

  • π0 (high mass) and

electron (low mass) channels complement each other.

  • Including beam 0ming

will improve DM search for masses > 50 MeV. Direct Detec0on Lower Limits g-2 anomaly

TOWARDS 2026 LDMX-e is working towards long white paper (early summer)

funding for or finding a beam line + funding for a detector = challenge

Possibilities:

DASEL (SLAC), CEBAF (JLAB), SPS (CERN) Timelines are vague/fluid — there is a phase-1 and phase-2

LDMX-μ pheno paper out soon

Need to find time at FTBF , but beam line exists Only need a few months Could be engineering run for LDMX-e detector

Proton beam dumps remain an option

Complementary to LDMX-e/μ in mass and couplings
