abstract
A sample of $1.69\times 10^7$ fully reconstructed $\pi^0\to\gamma e^+e^-$ decay candidates collected by the NA48/2 experiment at CERN in 2003--2004 is analysed to search for the dark photon ($A'$) production in the $\pi^0\to\gamma A'$ decay followed by the prompt $A'\to e^+e^-$ decay. No signal is observed, and an exclusion region in the plane of the dark photon mass $m_{A'}$ and mixing parameter $\varepsilon^2$ is established. The obtained upper limits on $\varepsilon^2$ are more stringent than the previous limits in the mass range $9~{\rm MeV}/c^2<m_{A'}<70~{\rm MeV}/c^2$. The NA48/2 sensitivity to the dark photon production in the $K^\pm\to\pi^\pm A'$ decay is also evaluated.

Theory Calculations for LDMX and LOHENGRIN beyond Coherent Bethe-Heitler Scattering
Higher-order electromagnetic and hadronic contributions to dark photon bremsstrahlung have limited impact on signal and background predictions for LDMX and LOHENGRIN except for requiring an HCAL extension in LOHENGRIN...

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
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.

The X17 with Chiral Couplings
A spin-1 X17 with chiral couplings fits the ATOMKI nuclear anomalies at 99% CL only in a parameter region that atomic parity violation and KLOE-2/NA64 exclude, driven mainly by the 12C(17.23) transition.

Vector dark matter with non-abelian kinetic mixing
A four-boson dark sector with one non-abelian kinetic-mixing operator can produce the observed dark-matter abundance by freeze-out, freeze-in, or 3-to-2 annihilations, with a dark-photon mediator almost degenerate wit...

Probing the ATOMKI X17 vector boson using Dalitz decays $V\to Pe^+e^-$
In a quark-model calculation, X17 contributions to D*, B*, and J/psi Dalitz decays are too small to explain the BESIII D*0 e+e- excess unless quark couplings are far outside ATOMKI-favored ranges.

Heating the dark matter halo with dark radiation from supernovae
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.
