Description
NA64 is an active target experiment that utilizes high-intensity electron, positron, and muon beams generated by the collision of high-energy protons from the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) with a target and subsequently guided to the NA64 detector. The experiment primarily employs the missing energy technique to search for dark matter particles in the sub-GeV mass range and other physics beyond the Standard Model. Recently, NA64 has expanded its physics program to include hadron beams, with the first results published in Phys.Rev.Lett. 133 (2024) 12, 121803. This talk will provide an overview of the NA64 experiment, its current status, and its primary physics goals.
