A non-zero topological angle in a confining dark sector induces CP-violating pion-baryon couplings that naturally generate velocity-dependent dark matter self-interactions and dark electric dipole moments for direct detection.

abstract
We derive limits on millicharged dark states, as well as particles with electric or magnetic dipole moments, from the number of observed forward electron scattering events at the Big European Bubble Chamber in the 1982 CERN-WA-066 beam dump experiment. The dark states are produced by the 400 GeV proton beam primarily through the decays of mesons produced in the beam dump, and the lack of excess events places bounds extending up to GeV masses. These improve on bounds from all other experiments, in particular CHARM II.

Neutrinos disintegrate into dark jets in a composite sterile sector, producing enhanced neutral-to-charged current ratios and displaced vertices that probe compositeness scales at facilities like DUNE and FCC-ee.
Super-Kamiokande constrains millicharged dark matter at 5-28 GeV for fractional abundance 10^{-4.5}; Hyper-Kamiokande reaches down to 5x10^{-6}.
Proposes construction of the Forward Physics Facility at the HL-LHC with four complementary detectors to exploit forward neutrinos and new-particle fluxes for neutrino, QCD, astroparticle, and dark-matter measurements.
Proposes underground MeV-scale electron-beam production of millicharged or dipole fermions followed by CCD detection to access unconstrained parameter space.
