abstract

We discuss the phenomenology of a light U(1) gauge boson, $\gamma_B$, that couples only to baryon number. We assume that the new U(1) gauge symmetry is spontaneously broken and that the $\gamma_B$ mass is smaller than $m_Z$. Nevertheless, we show that the model survives the current experimental constraints. In addition, we argue that evidence for the existence of such a particle could be hidden in existing LEP and Tevatron data. We determine the allowed regions of the $m_B$-$\alpha_B$ plane, where $m_B$ is the $\gamma_B$ mass, and where $4 \pi \alpha_B$ is the squared gauge coupling. We point out that in some parts of the allowed parameter space our model can account for rapidity gap events in proton-antiproton scattering seen at the Fermilab Tevatron.

  1. WIMP-like Dark Matter Without Thermalization At Freeze-Out

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    Hidden-sector dark matter achieves standard thermal relic abundance via early decoupling with temperature-matched freeze-out, enabling WIMP-like cross sections without late-time thermalization.

  2. Quark-universal $U(1)$ breaking scalar at the LHC

    hep-ph 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In a quark-universal U(1)_B model, the scalar φ that breaks the symmetry can be discovered first through its diphoton decay, and its rate can explain the 95 GeV diphoton excess.
