Description

First we briefly introduce the basic concept of LUXE as an experiment. The proposed LUXE experiment (LASER Und XFEL Experiment) at DESY, Hamburg, using the 16.5 GeV electron beam from the European XFEL, aims to probe QED in the non-perturbative regime created in collisions between high-intensity laser pulses and high-energy electron or photon beams. This setup also provides a unique opportunity to probe physics beyond the standard model by a super efficient way to convert an incoming electron flux to an amplified photon flux, which we denote as optical dump. This augmented by a physical dump, placed downstream the beam, allow us to probe models of weakly interacting, spin-0 particles, coupled to photons with upercented precision at the LUXE experiment.
