We have analyzed 1.62 fb$^{-1}$ of $e^{+}e^{-}$ collisions at a center of mass energy $\sim M_{\phi}$ collected by the KLOE experiment at DA$\Phi$NE. This sample corresponds to a production of $\sim$ 1.7 billion of $\ks$ $\kl$ pairs which…
The search for a dark photon holds considerable interest in the physics community. Such a force carrier would begin to illuminate the dark sector. Many experiments have searched for such a particle, but so far it has proven elusive. In…
Dark sectors lying beyond the Standard Model and containing sub-GeV particles which are bilinearly coupled to nucleons would induce quantum forces of the Casimir-Polder type in ordinary matter. Such new forces can be tested by a variety of…
