We present the prospects for exploring low-scale dark sectors with the future DUNE experiment and the impact of the movable off-axis near detector concept, DUNE-PRISM, and a higher energy beam configuration. We focus on a simple scenario which extends the Standard Model by a dark U(1), comprising scalar or fermion dark matter and a dark photon kinetically mixed with the photon. We consider nucleus and electron scattering signatures of dark matter produced in the beam via neutral pseudoscalar meson decays. Our results show that, by analysing the energy spectra of single electron events in multiple off-axis angle, DUNE-PRISM can substantially increase the experimental sensitivity to these models, reaching theoretical targets for thermal relic dark matter for a wide range of dark photon and dark matter masses.
