Extensions to the Standard Model allow for new particles, including low-mass Higgs bosons and dark photons, that may bridge the Standard Model to the Dark Sector. We present recent results of searches for such particles in electron-positron annihilation with the BaBar Detector at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. We also report briefly on a measurement of antideuteron production at...

We will present a new Belle (preliminary) limit in the search for a dark photon, A, and a dark Higgs, h', with A and h' prompt, mh' > 2mA, 100 MeV < mA < 3.5 GeV and 200 MeV < mh' < 10.5 GeV. We will also discuss possible future contributions of Belle II to dark sector particle searches.

The dark photon couples to Standard Model particles via kinetic mixing, so it may be produced in SM processes and decay to SM particles. Experiments that are designed for precise measurements of meson decay and detection of rare meson decay have high-resolution detectors and large data samples, making them well suited to search for dark photons. I will describe limits on dark photons from...

Several theoretical models introduce an additional U(1) gauge boson, a "dark photon" which mixes with ordinary QED photons with very small mixing strength. The dark photon is considered as one of the strongest candidates to describe some astrophysical anomalies as well as the 3sigma deviation of the experimental muon g-2 value from the Standard Model calculation. The dark photon as the cause...
