The universe shows signs of containing some invisible matter, known as dark matter. There are many possible constituents for dark matter, one such being light dark matter which would interact with ordinary matter through a new mediator force and have masses in the range of a few MeV to GeV. The light dark matter mass range is largely unexplored experimentally. The Light Dark Matter eXperiment, LDM
