Description

We discuss the beam requirements for indirect searches of dark matter and feebly coupled particles using advanced accelerator concepts. A parameter comparison reveals dielectric laser acceleration as a promising candidate for delivering the needed single-electron beams in the 5-100 GeV energy range or beyond. We suggest a parameter set for a baseline DLA-based dark sector accelerator. Enhancements through combining dielectric laser deflectors with a segmented detector or by making the dielectric structure be part of the laser oscillator could offer a performance significantly exceeding the ``Extended LDMX'' proposal based on LCLS-II.
