Searching for Light Dark Matter and Dark Sectors with the NA64 experiment at the CERN SPS Open
Since its approval in 2016, NA64 has pioneered light dark matter (LDM) searches with electron, positron, muon, and hadron beams. The experiment has successfully met its primary objectives, as outlined in the EPPS input (2018), and even exc…
