Description
We explore the possibility of probing new physics particles that scatter into visible particles at DarkQuest, such as neutrino tridents, Bethe-Heitler scattering, etc. The DarkQuest setup consists of a 120 GeV proton beam that impinges on a 5 m iron block with the detector placed 25 m away from the proton source. We find that the closeness of the detector to this high-energy proton source is advantageous in probing new physics that appear through scattering at the large iron dump. We take the $L_{\mu} - L_{\tau}$ gauge bosons as an example where we look at muon-antimuon signals that are produced through neutrino tridents via the gauge boson. We see that DarkQuest can probe a major region in the parameter space that explains the $g-2$ anomaly.
