A force beyond the Standard Model - Status of the quest for hidden photons

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2013-03-11 v1

Abstract

In this note we discuss the search for new gauge forces beyond the Standard Model. In particular we give an overview for the simplest case of a new U(1), kinetically mixed with the Standard Model photon (hypercharge boson), a so-called hidden photon (also known as dark photon, heavy photon or A').
