Dark Sectors 2016 Workshop: Community Report
read the original abstract
This report, based on the Dark Sectors workshop at SLAC in April 2016, summarizes the scientific importance of searches for dark sector dark matter and forces at masses beneath the weak-scale, the status of this broad international field, the important milestones motivating future exploration, and promising experimental opportunities to reach these milestones over the next 5-10 years.

Search for the production of Higgs-portal scalar bosons in the NuMI beam using the MicroBooNE detector
MicroBooNE sets the strongest limits to date on the Higgs-portal scalar mixing angle θ below ~3×10^{-4} for masses 110-155 MeV using kaon decays in the NuMI beam and 2.01×10^{21} POT exposure.

Probing inelastic sub-GeV dark matter at the DUNE near detector
DUNE's ND-LAr can probe sub-GeV inelastic dark matter parameter space consistent with relic abundance via dark Higgs-mediated annihilation, especially at large dark photon-to-DM mass ratios.

Searching for dark photons in $J/\psi$ decays
NRQCD calculations predict low event yields (0-172) and poor significances (10^{-6} to 10^{-1}) for dark photon mediated J/ψ decays at BESIII, with four-body invisible channels offering relatively better prospects bel...
