We point out that power measurements of single quasiparticle devices open a new avenue to detect dark matter (DM). The threshold of these devices is set by the Cooper pair binding energy, and is therefore so low that they can detect DM as…
We investigate the sensitivity of proposed CEPC and FCC-ee with a center-of-mass energy of 240 GeV to long-lived dark photons heavier than 2 GeV that are pair-produced via the prompt decays of a light scalar mixed with the Standard-Model…
The dark photon is a promising candidate for the dark matter which comprises most of the matter in our visible Universe. Via kinetic mixing with the Standard Model it can also be resonantly converted to photons in an electromagnetic cavity,…
Hidden sector photons are a weakly interacting slim particle arising from an additional U(1) gauge symmetry predicted by many standard model extensions. We present and demonstrate a new experimental method using a single microwave cavity to…

The recent reported 750 GeV diphoton excess at the 13 TeV LHC is explained in the framework of effective field theory assuming the diphoton resonance is a scalar (pseudoscalar) particle. It is found that the large production rate and the…
We study the possibility that a keV-MeV mass hidden photon (HP), i.e. a hidden sector U(1) gauge boson, accounts for the observed amount of dark matter. We focus on the case where the HP interacts with the standard model sector only through…
We consider the prospects for the indirect detection of low mass dark matter which couples dominantly to quarks. If the center of mass energy is below about 280 MeV, the kinematically allowed final states will be dominated by photons and…
We propose a search strategy using the LHC as a photon collider to open sensitivity to scalar lepton (slepton $\tilde{\ell}$) production with masses around 15 to 60 GeV above that of neutralino dark matter $\tilde{\chi}^0_1$. This region is…

We propose that the signal of dark photons can be found in the decay channel of $\eta$, and that a certain number of events of dark photon leptonic decay can be observed in the double-photon collision process of heavy-ion ultra-peripheral…
If hidden sector photons exist, they could be produced through oscillations of photons emitted by the Sun. We show that a search for these particles could be performed in Super-Kamiokande due to the presence in this detector of a large…
