We search for a light scalar particle produced in single-photon decays of the Upsilon(3S) resonance through the process Upsilon(3S) -> gamma A0, A0 -> invisible. Such an object appears in Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric extensions of the…
We search for evidence of a light Higgs boson (A0) in the radiative decays of the narrow Upsilon(3S) resonance: Upsilon(3S) -> gamma A0, where A0 -> invisible or A0 -> mu+mu-. Such an object appears in extensions of the Standard Model,…
The BABAR Collaboration has performed three searches for a light Higgs boson, $A^0$, in radiative Upsilon ($\Upsilon$) decays: $\Upsilon(3S)\to\gamma A^0$, $A^0\to\tau^+\tau^-$; $\Upsilon(nS)\to\gamma A^0$, $A^0\to\mu^+\mu^-$ ($n=2,3$); and…
We report on the search for the decay $\Upsilon(1S) \to \gamma A^0$, $A^0 \to gg$ or $s\bar s$, where $A^0$ is the pseudoscalar light Higgs boson predicted by the next-to-minimal supersymmetric standard model. A sample of $\sim 18 \times…
We search for a light Higgs boson, $A^0$, in the radiative decay $\Upsilon(3S)\to\gamma A^0$, $A^0\to\tau^+\tau^-$, $\tau^+\to e^+\nu_e \bar{\nu}_{\tau}$ or $\tau^+\to \mu^+ \nu_{\mu} \bar{\nu}_{\tau}$. The data sample contains 122 million…
We search for evidence of a light scalar boson in the radiative decays of the Upsilon(2S) and Upsilon(3S) resonances: Upsilon(2S,3S)-> gamma A0, A0 -> mu^+ mu^-. Such a particle appears in extensions of the Standard Model, where a light…
We search for hadronic decays of a light Higgs boson (A0) produced in radiative decays of an Upsilon(2S) or Upsilon(3S) meson, Upsilon --> gamma A0. The data have been recorded by the BABAR experiment at the Upsilon(3S) and Upsilon(2S)…
We search for a low-mass scalar CP-odd Higgs boson, A0, produced in the radiative decay of the Upsilon resonance and decaying into a tau+tau- pair: Upsilon(1S)->gamma A0. The production of Upsilon(1S) mesons is tagged by…
We search for single-photon decays of the Upsilon(1S) resonance, Upsilon->gamma+invisible, where the invisible state is either a particle of definite mass, such as a light Higgs boson A0, or a pair of dark matter particles, chi chi-bar.…
We search for di-muon decays of a low-mass Higgs boson ($A^0$) in the fully reconstructed decay chain of $\Upsilon(2S,3S) \to \pipi\Upsilon(1S)$, $\Upsilon(1S) \to \g A^0$, $A^0 \to \mumu$. The $A^0$ is predicted by several extensions of…
In this paper we present two searches for new physics in Upsilon(3S) decays collected by the BABAR detector. We search for charged lepton-flavour violating decays of the Upsilon(3S), which are unobservable in the Standard Model but are…
We present recent results concerning the searches for light Higgs-like particles in the decay $\Upsilon (3S) \to \gamma A^{0}, A^{0}\to \mu^{+}\mu^{-}$ as well as for the lepton flavour violation in the decays $\Upsilon (3S) \to…
Using $J/\psi$ radiative decays from 9.0 billion $J/\psi$ events collected by the BESIII detector, we search for di-muon decays of a $CP$-odd light Higgs boson ($A^0$), predicted by many new physics models beyond the Standard Model,…

The fundamental nature of mass is one of the greatest mysteries in physics. The Higgs mechanism is a theoretically appealing way to account for the different masses of elementary particles and implies the existence of a new, yet unseen…
We search for a non-SM-like CP-odd Higgs boson (a0_1) with m(a0_1)< 2m(b) in radiative decays of the Upsilon(1S), using 21.5M Upsilon(1S) mesons directly produced in e+e- annihilation. We investigate a0_1 --> tau+tau- and a0_1 --> mu+mu-…
