Semi-Visible Dark Photon Phenomenology at the GeV Scale
read the original abstract
In rich dark sector models, dark photons heavier than tens of MeV can behave as semi-visible particles: their decays contain both visible and invisible final states. We present models containing multiple dark fermions which allow for such decays and inscribe them in the context of inelastic dark matter and heavy neutral leptons scenarios. Our models represent a generalization of the traditional inelastic dark matter model by means of a charge conjugation symmetry. We revisit constraints on dark photons from $e^+e^-$ colliders and fixed target experiments, including the effect of analysis vetoes on semi-visible decays, $A^\prime \to \psi_i (\psi_j \to \psi_k \ell^+\ell^-)$. We find that in some cases, the BaBar and NA64 experiments no longer exclude large kinetic mixing, $\varepsilon \sim 10^{-2}$, and, specifically, the related explanation of the discrepancy in the muon $(g-2)$. This reopens an interesting window in parameter space for dark photons with exciting discovery prospects. We point out that a modified missing-energy search at NA64 can target short-lived $A^\prime$ decays and directly probe the newly-open parameter space.

Non-Thermal Production of Sexaquark Dark Matter
Non-thermal production via late-decaying reheatons can achieve the observed dark matter density for sexaquarks by controlling branching fractions and coalescence probabilities, unlike thermal freeze-out which underpro...

Probing Light Dark Particles in Neutrino Scattering Experiments
A dark fermion produced in neutrino scattering could be probed at DUNE's near detector up to cutoff scales near 1 TeV, beyond CHARM II and LEP, while current COHERENT/CONUS+ limits stay below LHC bounds.
