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.

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...
While searches for interactions at high-energy experiments have yielded more stringent bounds on new physics, the discovery potential of indirect has drawn renewed attention. The standard model predicts that physical processes involving charged leptons should feature lepton flavor universality relations among observables. Observation violation would thus establish presence physics beyond model. This article provides a review in semileptonic $b$-hadron decays. It investigates current...
