Many models of physics beyond the Standard Model predict the existence of new Abelian forces with new gauge bosons mediating interactions between "dark sectors" and the Standard Model. We report a search for a dark boson Z' coupling only to the second and third generations of leptons in the reaction e+e- -> mu+mu- Z', Z' -> mu+mu- using 514 fb-1 of data collected by the BABAR experiment. No significant signal is observed for Z' masses in the range 0.212 - 10 GeV. Limits on the coupling parameter g' as low as 7x10^-4 are derived, leading to improvements in the bounds compared to those previously derived from neutrino experiments.

  1. Muon Bremsstrahlung as a New Probe of Dark Sector at Neutrino Experiments

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Muon bremsstrahlung from the focused muon beam at neutrino facilities can produce heavy neutral leptons up to ~1 GeV, opening new search territory for SBND and DUNE Near Detector.

  2. Constraining the heavy leptophilic neutral gauge bosons through the $Z\to\ell^+\ell^-$, $W^\pm\to\ell^\pm\nu_\ell$, and $h\to\ell^+\ell^-$ decays

    hep-ph 2026-03 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    One-loop corrections to W/Z/h leptonic widths exclude heavy leptophilic Z' regions (M ≳ O(1) TeV, g' ≳ 0.4) beyond LEP-2 and neutrino-trident limits.

  3. Proof of principle for a light dark matter search with low-energy positron beams at NA64

    hep-ex 2025-02 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    A 70 GeV positron-beam missing-energy search at NA64 found zero signal events and set new dark photon limits, demonstrating the feasibility of a future low-energy positron program.

  4. The LHC as a TeV Muon Beam Dump: Muonphilic Scalars at FASER

    hep-ph 2025-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    FASER and FASER2 could probe unconstrained muonphilic scalar masses below the dimuon threshold, including the (g-2)_mu favored region, using diphoton and muon-plus-diphoton signals.

  5. New Physics at the Muon (Synchrotron) Ion Collider: MuSIC for several scales

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A TeV-scale muon-ion collider (MuSIC) could probe new physics in four BSM scenarios with reach surpassing the HL-LHC and other future facilities.

  6. Heating the dark matter halo with dark radiation from supernovae

    hep-ph 2024-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Even a few parts per million of supernova energy emitted as dark radiation could transform cuspy dwarf dark matter halos into cored ones, and observed core sizes bound how much energy can go to new particles.

  7. Gauged $U(1)_{L_\mu-L_\tau}$ Scotogenic Model in light of $R_{K^{(*)}}$ Anomaly and AMS-02 Positron Excess

    hep-ph 2019-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A gauged U(1)_{L_mu-L_tau} scotogenic model can simultaneously accommodate the R_K(*) anomaly and the AMS-02 positron excess, at the cost of tuned benchmark parameters and marginal agreement with CMB and gamma-ray con...

  8. Dark CP Violation and Gauged Lepton/Baryon Number for Electroweak Baryogenesis

    hep-ph 2019-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    An electroweak baryogenesis model where dark-sector CP violation is transferred to Standard Model leptons through an anomalous U(1)_ℓ Z' background can produce the observed baryon asymmetry while evading current EDM bounds.

    hep-ph 2025-12 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    A gauged U(1)_{Lμ-Lτ} model generates nearly degenerate Majorana dark matter whose self-interactions via a light scalar mediator set the relic density, resolve core-cusp anomalies, and fit LZ direct detection plus muo...

    hep-ph 2025-09 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Solar neutrino data from three xenon dark matter experiments provide updated standard-model tests and competitive limits on neutrino electromagnetic properties.
