As the weakly-interacting massive particle paradigm for dark matter continues to be suffocated by the current generation of experimental searches, many theorists have turned to the proposal that dark matter may be associated with additional new states that mediate dark forces. This modest generalization turns out to offer surprisingly rich phenomenology and new experimental handles to...

SeaQuest/E906 is a fixed target experiment at Fermilab that uses the 120 GeV proton beam from the Main Injector to induce Drell-Yan interactions and study anti-quark distributions in the nucleon. The resulting dimuons from the Drell-Yan interactions between the beam and the targets travel through an iron magnet, which also serves as a beam dump, before reaching the spectrometer. In the...

A remarkable feature of QCD is that the mass scale which controls color confinement and hadron mass scales does not appear explicitly in the QCD Lagrangian. However, de Alfaro, Fubini, and Furlan have shown that a mass scale can appear in the equations of motion without affecting the conformal invariance of the action if one adds a term to the Hamiltonian proportional to the dilatation...
