New physics can be light relative to the electroweak scale provided it couples very weakly to the Standard Model. An attractive and well-motivated example of this is a new dark vector boson. In this talk I will cover the theory of dark vectors with an emphasis on kinetic mixing with the photon and mass mixing with the Z boson. I will also touch briefly on the experimental implications of...
