Based on the full BABAR data sample, we report improved measurements of ratios R(D(*))=B(B[over ¯]→D(*)τ(-)ν[over ¯](τ))/B(B[over ¯]→D(*)ℓ(ℓ)(-)ν[over ¯](ℓ)), where ℓ is either e or μ. These are sensitive to new physics contributions in form a charged Higgs boson. We measure R(D)=0.440±0.058±0.042 and R(D(*))=0.332±0.024±0.018, which exceed standard model expectations by 2.0σ 2.7σ, respectively. Taken together, our results disagree with these at 3.4σ level. This excess cannot be explained...

Dark sectors charged under a new Abelian interaction have recently received much attention in the context of dark matter models. These models introduce light mediator, so-called photon (A′), connecting sector to standard model. We present search for reaction e+e−→γA′, A′→e+e−, μ+μ− using 514 fb−1 data collected with BABAR detector. observe no statistically significant deviations from model predictions, and we set 90% confidence level upper limits on mixing strength between at 10−4−10−3...

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...

The direct CP violation parameter Re(epsilon'/epsilon) has been measured from the decay rates of neutral kaons into two pions using NA48 detector at CERN SPS. 2001 running period was devoted to collecting additional data under varied conditions compared earlier years (1997-99). new yield result: = (13.7 +/- 3.1) times 10^{-4}. Combining this result with that published 1997, 98 and 99 data, an overall value (14.7 2.2) 10^{-4} is obtained experiment.
