We search for single-photon events in 53 fb−1 of e+e− collision data collected with the BABAR detector at PEP-II B-Factory. look a single high-energy photon and large missing momentum energy, consistent production spin-1 particle A′ through process e+e−→γA′; A′→invisible. Such particles, referred to as "dark photons," are motivated by theories applying U(1) gauge symmetry dark matter. find no evidence such processes set 90% confidence level upper limits on coupling strength mass range mA′≤8...
Many models of physics beyond the Standard Model predict existence new Abelian forces with gauge bosons mediating interactions between "dark sectors" and Model. We report a search for dark boson Z' coupling only to second third generations leptons in reaction e+e- -> mu+mu- Z', using 514 fb-1 data collected by BABAR experiment. No significant signal is observed masses range 0.212 - 10 GeV. Limits on parameter g' as low 7x10^-4 are derived, leading improvements bounds compared those...

We report a revised determination of charmed-D-meson absolute branching fractions based on complete reconstruction DD¯ events at the ψ(3770). Two backgrounds, Cabibbo-suppressed and multi-π0 D decays, are addressed in detail. The first measurement decay D0→K−π+π0π0 establishes sensitivity to hitherto unobserved modes. Removal both backgrounds reduces values our previously reported by (21-24)%, leaving their ratios largely unchanged. new unable account fully for deficit charm production...
A new technique is applied to data collected at the $\ensuremath{\psi}(3770)$ resonance derive charmed-$D$-meson branching fractions without relying on measurement of $D$-production cross sections.
