New stellar constraints on dark photons
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:

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the SHiP experiment has a unique potential to discover new physics and can directly probe a number of solutions of beyond the standard model puzzles, such as neutrino masses, baryon asymmetry of the Universe, dark matter, and inflation.

TL;DR: The SHiP (Search for Hidden Particles) experiment at CERN as discussed by the authors was designed to search for new physics in the largely unexplored domain of very weakly interacting particles with masses below the Fermi scale, inaccessible to the LHC experiments.

The dawn of FIMP Dark Matter : A review of models and constraints
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an overview of scenarios where the observed dark matter (DM) abundance consists of Feebly Interacting Massive Particles (FIMPs), produced nonthermally by the so-called freeze-in mechanism.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vector Dark Matter from Inflationary Fluctuations
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors calculate the production of a massive vector boson by quantum fluctuations during inflation and show that the vector inherits the usual adiabatic, nearly scale-invariant perturbations of the inflaton, allowing it to be a good dark matter candidate.

Hunting All the Hidden Photons
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors apply the full constraining power of experimental bounds derived for a hidden photon of a secluded U(1)X and translate them to the considered gauge groups.

Energy dependence of direct detection cross section for asymmetric mirror dark matter
TL;DR: In this article, Wang et al. showed that if the dark matter happens to be the mirror neutron, the direct detection cross section has the unique feature that it increases at low recoil energy unlike the case of conventional weakly interacting massive particles.

Dark matter and dark forces from a supersymmetric hidden sector
TL;DR: In this paper, a simple string-inspired supersymmetric hidden sector model that interacts with the visible sector via kinetic mixing of a light Abelian gauge boson with the hypercharge is analyzed.

Energy Loss from the Sun and Red Giants:. Bounds on Short-Range Baryonic and Leptonic Forces
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors put restrictions on forces with a range larger than or ~ 1 A. The authors compute the stellar energy loss caused by new hypothetical forces coupled to baryon and/or lepton charges and demand that this energy drain does not upset current stellar evolutionary models.

Stellar energy transfer by keV-mass scalars.
TL;DR: The effects of massive pseudoscalar particles \ensuremath{\chi} on stellar evolution is investigated, focusing on the case where these new states interact only with electrons, and the importance of numerical studies of both horizontal-branch stars and red giants is stressed.
