abstract
In rich dark sector models, dark photons heavier than tens of MeV can behave as semi-visible particles: their decays contain both visible and invisible final states. We present models containing multiple dark fermions which allow for such decays and inscribe them in the context of inelastic dark matter and heavy neutral leptons scenarios. Our models represent a generalization of the traditional inelastic dark matter model by means of a charge conjugation symmetry. We revisit constraints on dark photons from $e^+e^-$ colliders and fixed target experiments, including the effect of analysis vetoes on semi-visible decays, $A^\prime \to \psi_i (\psi_j \to \psi_k \ell^+\ell^-)$. We find that in some cases, the BaBar and NA64 experiments no longer exclude large kinetic mixing, $\varepsilon \sim 10^{-2}$, and, specifically, the related explanation of the discrepancy in the muon $(g-2)$. This reopens an interesting window in parameter space for dark photons with exciting discovery prospects. We point out that a modified missing-energy search at NA64 can target short-lived $A^\prime$ decays and directly probe the newly-open parameter space.

Towards UV-Models of Kinetic Mixing and Portal Matter VII: A Light Dark Photon in the $3_c3_L1_A1_B$ Model
In the 3c3L1A1B model, a single larger gauge force unifies part of the weak force with a dark force, producing a light dark photon, multi-TeV portal matter, and new heavy gauge bosons with testable signatures.

Probing Light Dark Particles in Neutrino Scattering Experiments
A dark fermion produced in neutrino scattering could be probed at DUNE's near detector up to cutoff scales near 1 TeV, beyond CHARM II and LEP, while current COHERENT/CONUS+ limits stay below LHC bounds.

Relaxed constraints for dark matter with axial coupling to a dark photon
Axial coupling of Dirac dark matter to a kinetically-mixed dark photon suppresses the standard direct-detection signal and opens large allowed regions in the WIMP parameter space.

Relaxing constraints on a broad dark photon
The paper argues that adding decays to dark matter broadens the dark photon and could relax the CMS exclusion bound on its mixing parameter by one to two orders of magnitude.

Dark photon in parity-violating electron scatterings
Parity-violating electron scattering can reveal a heavy dark photon through up to 10% shifts in the couplings C1q, C2q, and C3q, and fits to parity data plus the CDF W mass favor a dark photon above the Z boson mass.
