Description
Despite compelling astrophysical evidence for the existence of dark matter in the universe, we have yet to positively identify it in any terrestrial experiment. Several experiments have recently begun at Jefferson Lab to add to this effort. With varying and complementary approaches, APEX, BDX, DarkLight, and HPS will probe the range of light Dark Matter, searching for new particles in the mass range of 10 MeV/c2 to 1 GeV/c2. I will briefly introduce the motivations for such searches, and describe the status of each of these experiments.
