Abstract:
A new particle usually manifests as a single resonant peak at its mass. We propose that the new particle mass can be time-varying due to environmental effects, then its mass spectrum typically has a novel double-peak feature. A representative model is the kinetic mixing dark photon interacting with an ultralight complex scalar dark matter charged under $U(1)'$. We reanalyze the existing constraints on the time-varying $A'$. We show they are drastically weakened because of the reduction of the luminosity exposure in each resonant mass bin.
Consequently, for mass around tens of MeV, the muon $(g-2)_\mu$ solution from the kinetic mixing dark photon becomes viable again. In addition, we propose improving the sensitivity by using the time-stamp of the events. Reanalyzing the CMS Open Data, we demonstrate that the time-stamp of events improves about one order of sensitivity compared with the double-peak method. It is a path-finder analysis for the time-dependent signal and opens up a new category for the exotic searches at collider and beam dump experiments.
