Hidden sectors, and their connection to dark matter, are a central part of the experimental high energy physics program. We review the theoretical framework and motivation for hidden sectors, and describe how the framework motivates a broad range of searches, including high energy colliders and low energy intensity experiments. We anchor the search for dark sectors in observations of dark...
