Dark matter accounts for about 85% of all matter in the Universe, yet its particle nature remains unknown. The Light Dark Matter eXperiment (LDMX) is a proposed fixed-target missing-momentum experiment that intends to probe the predominantly experimentally uncharted MeV-GeV mass range for "light dark matter". A significant challenge for LDMX is to efficiently veto rare photo-nuclear back

The corona pandemic has mainly affected health conditions and mortality, but has also contributed to economic costs. In this paper, I analyzed the consequences of restrictions on excess mortality and macroeconomics as well as the impact of economic policy measures on the economy.
