Probing dark force at BES-III/BEPCII
Abstract
We study an experimental search of a GeV scale vector boson at BES-III/BEPCII. It is responsible for mediating a new U(1)d interaction, as recently exploited in the context of weakly interacting massive particle dark matter. At low energy ee colliders this dark state can be efficiently probed. We discuss the direct productions of this light vector U boson and the decay of this state with BES-III data and its foreseen larger data. In particular, we show that Higgs'-strahlung in the dark sector can lead to multilepton signatures, which probe the physics range for kinetic mixing parameter ɛ∼10-10 over a large portion of the parameter space.
