This presentation will summarize the results of dark matter searches in 5 ifb of proton-proton collision data at the center-of-mass energy 7 TeV collected with the CMS detector at Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in 2011. Dark matter particles, if produced in the collision, will be invisible to the CMS detector; their existence can be inferred by a large missing transverse momentum (MET)....

Recent astrophysical observations have motivated interest in models with a dark sector with GeV-scale gauge and Higgs bosons. In such models, dark-sector photons typically mix with the standard-model photon, enabling their detection in e+e- collisions at BABAR, with very little background in some of the channels. We present searches for a dark-sector photon and a dark-sector Higgs boson...
