Physics Colloquium: The dark side of light

Abstract:

The hidden sector is an extension of the Standard Model, which has the potential to simultaneously explain dark matter along with established anomalies in particle physics. Dark photons or, more generally, neutral bosons with light masses and weak coupling to the Standard Model could be discovered in accelerator-based experiments of the intensity frontier. I will discuss some of the experiments of the next generation which continue to push the sensitivities to hidden-sector particles to unprecedented levels.
