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