The ratio $R_{\tau\mu}(\Upsilon(1S)) = \Gamma_{\Upsilon(1S)\to\tau^+\tau^-}/\Gamma_{\Upsilon(1S)\to\mu^+\mu^-}$ is measured using a sample of $(121.8\pm1.2)\times10^6$ $\Upsilon(3S)$ events recorded by the BABAR detector. This measurement…
Several types of new-physics models predict the existence of light dark matter candidates and low-mass Higgs states. Previous \babar searches for invisible light-Higgs decays have excluded large regions of model parameter space. We present…
A search is presented for the decay Y(1S) -> gamma A0, A0 -> cc-bar, where A0 is a candidate for the CP-odd Higgs boson of the next-to-minimal supersymmetric standard model. The search is based on data collected with the BABAR detector at…
Results are reported from a search for non-standard-model Higgs boson decays to pairs of new light bosons, each of which decays into the oppositely charged dimuon final state. The new bosons may be produced either promptly or via a decay…
We report on the first Belle search for a light CP-odd Higgs boson, $A^{0}$, that decays into low mass dark matter, $\chi$, in final states with a single photon and missing energy. We search for events produced via the dipion transition…
Searches for the exclusive decays of the Higgs and $Z$ bosons into a $J/\psi$, $\psi(2S)$, or $\Upsilon(nS)$ ($n=1,2,3$) meson and a photon are performed with a $pp$ collision data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 36.1…

A search for exotic decays of the 125 GeV Higgs boson into a pair of new spin-0 particles, $H \to aa$, where one decays into a photon pair and the other into a $\tau$-lepton pair, is presented. Hadronic decays of the $\tau$-leptons are…
We present the results of a search for the decay B0 --> tau+tau- in a data sample of (232 +- 3) x 10^6 Upsilon(4S) --> BBbar decays using the BABAR detector. Certain extensions of the Standard Model predict measurable levels of this…
