Search for Low-mass Dark-Sector Gauge Boson with the BABAR Detector
Abstract
We report searches for a new muonic dark force mediated by a gauge boson (Z') coupling only to the second and third lepton families. The existence of the Z' boson is probed in e+e- μ+μ- Z', Z' μ+ μ- events, with an analysis based on the full data sample collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II e+e- collider. No significant signal is observed. Limits on dark-sector coupling constants are derived; these improve upon current bounds, and further constrain the allowed parameter space.
