Abstract:
The Beam Dump eXperiment (BDX) is an electron-beam thick-target experiment aimed to investigate the existence of light dark matter particles in the MeV-GeV mass range at Jefferson Lab. A small-scale prototype (BDX-Proto) of the BDX detector has been constructed in order to validate the proposed design and to demonstrate with real measurements the capability to efficiently reject the cosmogenic backgrounds. In this paper we report the peformance of BDX-Proto extracted from a long campaign of cosmic ray measurements performed at INFN, Sez. Catania and INFN, LNS.
