We report on a direct search for sub-GeV dark photons (A') which might be produced in the reaction e^- Z \to e^- Z A' via kinetic mixing with photons by 100 GeV electrons incident on an active target in the NA64 experiment at the CERN SPS. The A's would decay invisibly into dark matter particles resulting in events with large missing energy. No evidence for such decays was found with 2.75\cdot 10^{9} electrons on target. We set new limits on the \gamma-A' mixing strength and exclude the invisible A' with a mass < 100 MeV as an explanation of the muon g_\mu-2 anomaly.

  1. Probing Dark Photons from Nuclear De-excitation in Reactor Neutrino Experiment

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Nuclear de-excitation in reactors produces on-shell dark photons up to nuclear transition energies, yielding stronger TEXONO limits on ε than Compton-like production for 0.1 MeV < m_A' < 6.9 MeV.

  2. The High-Energy Frontier of the Intensity Frontier: Closing the Dark Photon, Inelastic Dark Matter, and Muon g-2 Windows

    hep-ph 2019-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Reanalysis of CHARM and NuCal beam-dump data nearly excludes inelastic dark matter as a full-abundance thermal relic in the MeV to GeV range for the benchmark splittings considered, and yields updated dark photon constraints.

  3. 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.

  4. Probing Standard Model and Beyond with Reactor CE$\nu$NS Data of CONUS+ experiment

    hep-ph 2025-01 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Using CONUS+ reactor data, the authors constrain the weak mixing angle, neutrino electromagnetic properties, and light scalar and vector mediators, finding their most notable limit on neutrino millicharge when electro...

  5. Probing conventional and new physics at the ESS with coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering

    hep-ph 2025-01 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Projected ESS CEνNS measurements would improve current constraints on the weak mixing angle, nuclear neutron radii, and several new physics scenarios by large factors, and would lead in some unexplored mass ranges.
