We illustrate how the future Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) can be used to discover dark bosons with masses in the $\sim$ (10~MeV -- 10~GeV) regime, having a wide range of properties. We only require that the dark bosons have a non-negligible weak coupling to electrons and decay with $\ord{1}$ branching fraction into invisible final states. Our signal selection takes advantage of the excellent electron beam kinematic measurements and the capability to tag incoherent scattering, as envisioned at the EIC. This makes the EIC a powerful tool for uncovering potential dark sector forces, for a variety of possibilities.

  1. Long-Lived Dark Hadrons at the Electron-Ion Collider

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    A benchmark dark-QCD model with long-lived dark pions mixing into an axion-like state could let the EIC probe electron-portal couplings and dark pion masses beyond the reach of B-factories.

  2. On Exclusive Coherent Production of Bosons in Electron-Proton Collisions

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    A phenomenological 2-to-3 framework is constructed for exclusive boson electroproduction that matches flux-factorized predictions near Q^{2}=0 while capturing finite-Q^{2} effects at larger virtualities.

  3. Braking protons at the EIC: from invisible meson decay to new physics searches

    hep-ph 2025-12 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    The EIC can probe invisible pseudoscalar meson decays down to branching ratios of 10^{-8} and invisibly decaying ALPs with couplings up to 10^5 GeV for masses 0.1-2 GeV.

  4. Flavor physics at the EIC with b-jet tagging

    hep-ph 2026-01 conditional novelty 5.0

    Single b-jet counting in charged-current events at the EIC could probe new flavor-changing physics up to Λ_eff ≈ 5 TeV, about 30 times the collider energy, assuming tight b-tagging and polarized beams.
