We study the complementarity between dark matter experiments (direct detection and indirect detections) and accelerator facilities (the CERN LHC and a $\sqrt{s}= 1$ TeV $e^+e^-$ Linear Collider) in the framework of the constrained Minimal…
A class of models of dark sectors consider new very weak interaction between the ordinary and dark matter transmitted by U'(1) gauge bosons A' (dark photons) mixing with our photons. If such A's exist, they could be searched for in a…
We show that dark photons (A') with masses ~10-80 MeV can be probed in the decay $\mu^+ \to e^+ \nu_e \bar{\nu}_\mu A', A' \to e^+ e^-$, with the upcoming Mu3e experiment at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) in Switzerland. With an expected…

Dark matter could be made up of dark photons, massive but very light particles whose interactions with matter resemble those of usual photons but suppressed by a small mixing parameter. We analyze the main approaches to dark photon…
We propose a novel approach for discovering a light dark photon in the forward experiments at the LHC, including the SND@LHC and the FASER experiments. Assuming the dark photon is lighter than twice the electron mass and feebly interacts…
We investigate the Lepton Flavor Violating (LFV) process $e^{+}e^{-}\to e^{+}e^{-}e\mu$ ($e=e^-,\,e^+,\,\mu=\mu^-,\,\mu^+ $) at future circular colliders, probing the effective $\gamma\gamma e\mu$ interaction through photon fusion. Within…

Dark matter particles may interact with other dark matter particles via a new force mediated by a dark photon, $A^{\prime}$, which would be the dark-sector analog to the ordinary photon of electromagnetism. The dark photon can obtain a…
