This document covers the KLF Collaboration Service Statement of the Lamar researcher working on the proposal for an experiment at the Hall-D CPS facility that shall use the resulting secondary muon beam to run a parasitic experiment of missing muon momentum (m3BDX) to investigate the light dark matter Dark Sector. The m3BDX Collaboration will work together with GlueX and KLF Collaborations to establish and define the work plan to deploy the experiment with the minimal impact on the KLF/GlueX operations. The m3BDX collaborators are not planning to take part to the activities of GlueX and KLF Collaborations and, if anyone from this list will be interested, he/her will submit a separate statement of service. It is understood that Lamar will work in coordination with INFN on this project

Responsibilities

In coordination with JLabRadCon Group and the KLF/GlueX Collabration, design of the m3BDX secondary muon beam line at the Hall-D CPS facility. Muons produced in the CPS will be deflected down with a dipole followed by a shileding to range out the most part of the background (neutral and charged particles). A magnetic spectrometer placed downstream of the shielding will act as analyzer defining the position, the time and the momentum of incoming muons. After the interaction with a target placed in the middle of the magnet, position, time and momentum of scattered muons will be measured.

muon-phillic Light Dark Matter detection via a muon missing momentum experiment

Disclosure of Other Research Activities

As per M. Battaglieri's statement, the whole group (INFN and Lamar) is committed to the BDX (beam dump experiment) and nuBDX experiment (CEvNS experiment), as well as other activities in Hall-B (CLAS12).
