[Hps] Interest for dark photon in the heavy ion community

Dear all,
as one of the conveners of Dark Matter Working Group of INFN-WhatNext 
initiative I'm trying to involve the heavy ions community (aka ALICE 
experiment) in the heavy photon search physics. So far, the response has 
been encouraging since they are realizing that there are discovery 
opportunities also in this field. Their interest  could also be driven 
by the recent focus of ATLAS on LLP with masses between 10 GeV to few 
hundreds MeV (again the dark photon!), but the final result is an 
expression of interest of this (big and powerful!) community to HPS-like 
experiments.
They pointed me out a paper (http://arxiv.org/pdf/1306.3653v1.pdf) 
placed in the arxiv sometime ago and not yet published asking for a 
feeling about the possible reach. If you have a chance to take a look, 
or if you already know it, could you please provide me  your feedback?
Thanks in advance
Cheers
Marco
