Abstract
We propose a new beam dump experiment at future colliders with electron () and positron () beams, BDee, which will provide a new possibility to search for hidden particles, like hidden photon. If a particle detector is installed behind the beam dump, it can detect the signal of in-flight decay of the hidden particles produced by the scatterings of beams off materials for dumping. We show that, compared to past experiments, BDee (in particular BDee at linear collider) significantly enlarges the parameter region where the signal of the hidden particle can be discovered.
