The constituents of dark matter are still unknown, and the viable possibilities span a vast range of masses. The physics community has established searching for sub-GeV dark matter as a high priority and identified accelerator-based experiments as an essential facet of this search strategy. A key goal of the accelerator-based dark matter program is testing the broad idea of thermally produced sub-GeV dark matter through experiments designed to directly produce dark matter particles. The most sensitive way to search for the production of light dark matter is to use a primary electron beam to produce it in fixed-target collisions. The Light Dark Matter eXperiment (LDMX) is an electron-beam fixed-target missing-momentum experiment that realizes this approach and provides unique sensitivity to light dark matter in the sub-GeV range. This contribution provides an overview of the theoretical motivation, the main experimental challenges, how LDMX addresses these challenges, and projected sensitivities. We further describe the capabilities of LDMX to explore other interesting new and standard physics, such as visibly-decaying axion and vector mediators or rare meson decays, and to provide timely electronuclear scattering measurements that will inform the modeling of neutrino-nucleus scattering for DUNE.

Dark Matter Weather: Probing Sub-GeV Interactions with Earth-Shielding Modulation
Daily Earth-shielding modulation of sub-GeV dark matter can separate dark-matter–electron from dark-matter–nucleon scattering, and the isoangle shape statistic provides a new validation handle for liquid-noble detectors.

The bremsstrahlung-like production of the massive spin-2 dark matter mediator
E137 beam-dump data exclude spin-2 dark matter mediator couplings from about 8e-8 to 1e-5 per GeV for mediator masses 100 to 800 MeV, assuming equal electron and photon couplings.

On the dark matter origin of an LDMX signal
A Monte Carlo study finds that a silicon direct-detection experiment needs between 0.0013 and 1.9 kg-year of exposure to statistically link a hypothetical LDMX signal to dark matter, for masses between 4 and 25 MeV.

Position Resolution of a Scintillator Hodoscope Employing Triangular Counters with Embedded Wavelength Shifting Fibers
A test-beam study of triangular scintillator counters with embedded wavelength-shifting fibers reports about 1.5 mm position resolution from interpolating light between adjacent counters, far better than the 20 mm fib...

Testing Thermal-Relic Dark Matter with a Dark Photon Mediator
The direct-annihilation regime of complex scalar dark matter with a dark photon mediator is excluded by current direct detection data except near the resonance m_A' ≈ 2m_χ, while Majorana and Pseudo-Dirac models remai...
