Description
We report on the search visible decays of exotic mediators from data taken in "beam-dump" mode with the NA62 experiment.
The NA62 experiment can be run as a "beam-dump experiment" by removing the Kaon production target and moving the upstream collimators into a "closed" position.
In 2021, more than 10^17 protons on target have been collected in this way during a week-long data-taking campaign by the NA62 experiment.
Using past experience, the upstream beam-line magnets were configured to sizeably reduce background induced by 'halo' muons.
We report on the analysis results of this data, with a particular emphasis on Dark Photon Models.
