TLDR
In this article, the stellar production of vector states V within the minimal model of "dark photons" was studied and it was shown that when the Stuckelberg mass of the dark vector becomes smaller than plasma frequency, the emission rate is dominated by the production of the longitudinal modes of V, and scales as κ 2 m V 2, where κ and m V are the mixing angle with the photon and the mass of a dark state.About:

New Exclusion Limits on Dark Gauge Forces from Proton Bremsstrahlung in Beam-Dump Data
Johannes Blümlein,Jürgen Brunner +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors re-analyze published proton beam dump data taken at the U70 accelerator at IHEP Serpukhov with the ν-calorimeter I experiment in 1989 to set mass-coupling limits for dark gauge forces.

Stellar cooling bounds on new light particles: plasma mixing effects
Edward Hardy,Robert Lasenby +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors make an updated estimate for the stellar cooling bounds on light scalars and vectors with a variety of SM couplings, and significantly change the mass dependence of stellar bounds on new vectors.

Two U(1)'s and Epsilon Charge Shifts
TL;DR: If new particles are gauged by a new U(1) then their electromagnetic charges may be shifted by a calculable amount as mentioned in this paper, which is the case in the case of the current article.
Journal ArticleDOI
A theory of dark matter
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a light boson invoked by XDM to mediate a large inelastic scattering cross section for the DAMA annual modulation signal at low velocities at redshift, which could produce observable effects on the ionization history of the universe.
Journal ArticleDOI
Secluded WIMP Dark Matter
TL;DR: In this article, a generic mechanism via which thermal relic WIMP dark matter may be decoupled from the Standard Model, namely through a combination of WIMPs annihilation to metastable mediators with subsequent delayed decay to Standard Model states, is considered.

The Low-Energy Frontier of Particle Physics
Joerg Jaeckel,Andreas Ringwald +1 more
TL;DR: Most embeddings of the Standard Model into a more unified theory, in particular those based on supergravity or superstrings, predict the existence of a hidden sector of particles that have only very weak interactions with visible-sector Standard Model particles.

WISPy cold dark matter
TL;DR: Very weakly interacting slim particles (WISPs) such as axion-like particles (ALPs) or hidden photons (HPs), may be non-thermally produced via the misalignment mechanism in the early universe and survive as a cold dark matter population until today as mentioned in this paper.
