Description
Many scenarios of physics beyond the Standard Model predict new
particles with masses well below the electroweak scale. Low-energy, high
luminosity colliders such as BABAR are ideally suited to discover these
particles. We present several recent searches for low-mass dark sector
particles at BABAR, self-interacting dark matter, axion like particles
and dark sector particles produced in B meson decays. These examples
demonstrate the importance of B-factories in fully exploring low-mass
new physics and dark sectors.
