Description
Among dark matter theories, the possibility of dark sector(s) has recently
received much attention. This class of models introduces a new dark sector
with WIMP-like dark matter particles charged under a new Abelian gauge
group. The corresponding gauge boson, dubbed a dark photon, must be
lighter than a few GeV to explain recent astrophysical and terrestrial
anomalies. The dark photon couples to the Standard Model through its
kinetic mixing with the photon, and can therefore be produced at
low-energy e+e- colliders in Bremsstrahlung reactions. We present a search
for dark photon production at BaBar.
