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 discoverthese particles. We present several recent searches for low-mass dark sector particles at BABAR, including leptophilic scalars, self-interacting dark matter, and axion like particles produced in B decays. These examples demonstrate the importance of B-factories in fully exploring low-mass new physics.
