| Abstract | We propose to search for light U(1) dark photons, A^{'}, produced via kinetically mixing with ordinary photons via the Compton-like process, γe^{-}→A^{'}e^{-}, in a nuclear reactor and detected by their interactions with the material in the active volumes of reactor neutrino experiments. We derive 95% confidence-level upper limits on ε, the A^{'}-γ mixing parameter, ε, for dark-photon masses below 1 MeV of ε<1.3×10^{-5} and ε<2.1×10^{-5}, from NEOS and TEXONO experimental data, respectively. This study demonstrates the applicability of nuclear reactors as potential sources of intense fluxes of low-mass dark photons. |
