DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Silvia Lucia Correa Angel (Federal University of Rio
  Grande do Norte -UFRN\, International Institute of Physics - IIP)\nThe da
 rk photon is a new gauge boson that naturally arises in many beyond the St
 andard Model theoretical models\, featuring\ninteractions that resemble qu
 antum electrodynamics. Due to this feature\, it is often considered the po
 rtal between dark and visible\nsectors. For this reason\, it has become th
 e target of many experimental searches worldwide. In this work\, we propos
 e a search for dark\nphotons based on the Inverse Compton scattering\, $\\
 gamma e^- \\rightarrow A^\\prime e^-$\, to be conducted at the Brazilian\n
 Synchrotron Light Laboratory (LNLS). In this setup\, photons from a laser 
 source would impinge on the accelerated electron beam\npresent at the LNLS
 \, producing a dark photon in the final state. Taking advantage of the pho
 ton counting technique\, we derive the\nprojected sensitivity of this prop
 osed dark sector detector by considering the energy of the incident photon
  about 1 eV and an electron\nbeam of 3 GeV. We show that this experimental
  setup could pave the way to the first Latin-American Dark Sector detector
  capable of\ncovering an unexplored region of parameter space and confirmi
 ng results from previous searches via astrophysical sources\, thus\nconsti
 tuting a promising probe for dark sectors in the future.\n\nhttps://indico
