Description
Abstract: I will discuss some of the motivations for considering new
physics in a hidden sector, which interacts with the Standard Model
via light GeV-scale mediators. For example, this sector may naturally
contain a dark matter candidate. The focus will be on experimental probes
of the light mediators, primarily through the vector portal -
where a secluded U(1) sector kinetically mixes with the photon - using
fixed target neutrino experiments, B-factories and rare kaon decays.
