an old idea: if there is an additional U(1) symmetry in nature,there will be mixing between the photon and the new gauge boson
Holdom, Phys. Lett B166, 1986
•extremely general conclusion...even arises from broken symmetries•gives coupling of normal charged matter to the new “dark photon” q=εe

...there is a lot of physics here!
2012 SLAC Summer Institute Mathew Graham
Terminology break • The literature is infested with different terms for (basically) the
same things...• dark sector=hidden sector=secluded sector• dark photon=hidden photon=heavy photon=A′=U-boson• ε2=κ2=α′/α

I will try to stick to dark sector, A′, and ε!

What coupling?
8
•Coupling is generated from non-perturbative loops •One-loop if the heavy particle is charged under both U(1)s
•Two-loop if one of the U(1)s is embedded into a higher symmetry...

Ok, what about the mass?
9
Depending on model, mass scales like: M(A´)/M(W)~ε1-ε1/2
leading toM(A´)~MeV-GeV

•Could be massless ⇒ millicharges!•Non-perturbative ⇒ chaos!•Same origin as weak scale
⇒ O(MZ)

•FERMI sees it too!
excess in e+/e− ratio
...but not in p/p ratio
Is this astrophysics or particle physics?
A hint from above?

•decays to lepton pairs (e+e−, µ+µ−) but pp decays are kinematically forbidden

Problem: cover the low coupling (<10−4), intermediate mass (20-200 MeV) region•low rate ➪ intense beam•high background ➪ high resolution•still high background ➪ measure displaced vertex
Solution: HPS
2012 SLAC Summer Institute Mathew Graham
•high rate, high acceptance, high mass & vertex resolution detector intended to run in Hall B
•Silicon strip tracker inside an evacuated dipole for excellent vtx & mom resolution. Use Si sensors donated from Fermilab & APV25 readout chips•Borrow & reconfigure the CLAS inner calorimeter for high rate triggering

Other direct dark force searches• Searches at e+e− colliders: BaBar & Belle(II), KLOE, BES
• Lower luminosity + lower backgrounds
• Higher mass reach (up to ~10GeV)
• “exotic” dark force states: dark higgs, dark mesons
• Searches at hadrons colliders: ATLAS/CMS & CDF/D0
• possible unique production path ⇒ cascades from SUSY particles
• “lepton-jets” signatures along with typical di-lepton mass peak
• potentially covers vast area of coupling-mass space, but with model assumptions
23
⇒ many public results already with more on the way...very active area of study!
2012 SLAC Summer Institute Mathew Graham
What now? My conclusions
24
• The search for new gauge bosons has a long history over a huge range of mass scales
• Something like a dark photon is very well theoretically motivated and if we live in a GU universe it probably exists• What coupling? What mass? Who knows? I have my favorite region!
• Dark matter naturally fits in this dark sector• by the way, this doesn’t override SUSY...dark sector models and SUSY
get along fine!
• It’s very cool to think that there might be very complicated, very different physics going on all around us which we can’t examine but through this weak, tenuous connection
2012 SLAC Summer Institute Mathew Graham
What now next?• Ok, say we are seeing DM annihilating (maybe via dark photons)
in the PAMELA & FERMI data...what else should we see• f(e+/e−) should cut off at ~ DM mass
• high energy photons from inverse Compton scattering & final state radiation ⇒ constraints from Fermi are discouraging
• imprints on the CMB ⇒ PLANK will be crucial...2013?
• Possibly large impact on direct DM experiments• iDM ⇒ lower recoil energy
• DAMA/CoGeNT/CRESST anomalies?
• Xenon100, CDMS are putting big dent in iDM parameter space

“DM could have shown it’s face in many places, and didn’t...but has wiggle-room left.” - Rouven EssigApart from these anomalies, the upcoming direct heavy-photon searches will block out a very interesting part of parameter space...maybe the dark sector will show it’s head before dark matter
