Abstract:
The hidden sector is an extension of the
Standard Model, which has the potential to
simultaneously explain dark matter along with
established anomalies in particle physics. Dark
photons or, more generally, neutral bosons
with light masses and weak coupling to the
Standard Model could be discovered in
accelerator-based experiments of the intensity
frontier. I will discuss some of the experiments
of the next generation which continue to push
the sensitivities to hidden-sector particles to
unprecedented levels.
