In a dedicated run where protons from the Fermilab Booster were delivered directly to the steel beam dump of the Booster Neutrino Beamline (BNB), the MiniBooNE detector was used to search for the production of sub-GeV dark matter particles via vector-boson mediators. The signal searched for was the elastic scattering of dark matter particles off nucleons in the detector mineral oil, with neutrinos being an irreducible background. A review of the experiment, its analysis methods, its results and future perspectives are summarized, demonstrating that beam dump experiments provide a novel and promising approach to dark matter searches. This contribution was written for the TAUP 2017 proceedings.

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...
