We examine how different assumptions about the hadronic vacuum polarization, the $W$ boson mass, and the forward-backward asymmetry in $b$-quarks at the $Z$ pole can impact the precision electroweak fit. We study the implications for a kinetically mixed dark photon, addressing the complementarity of precision bounds and direct searches, particularly in the case where the dark photon can decay into the dark sector, and we consider implications for future Large Hadron Collider searches. We comment on cases where the precision effects of the dark photon may not be well-described by the oblique parameters.

  1. Precision Electroweak Constraints on Neutrinophilic Scalars

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Electroweak precision data constrain neutrinophilic scalar couplings to neutrinos via charged-current corrections, with the result holding in a UV-complete model for wide parameter ranges.

  2. WIMP Dark Matter within the dark photon portal

    hep-ph 2025-08 unverdicted novelty 3.0

    Derives lower limits on dark photon parameters from thermal relic density for Dirac fermion and complex scalar WIMPs and compares resulting spin-independent cross sections to direct detection upper bounds.
