abstract

We illustrate how the future Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) can be used to discover dark bosons with masses in the $\sim$ (10~MeV -- 10~GeV) regime, having a wide range of properties. We only require that the dark bosons have a non-negligible weak coupling to electrons and decay with $\ord{1}$ branching fraction into invisible final states. Our signal selection takes advantage of the excellent electron beam kinematic measurements and the capability to tag incoherent scattering, as envisioned at the EIC. This makes the EIC a powerful tool for uncovering potential dark sector forces, for a variety of possibilities.

  1. Long-Lived Dark Hadrons at the Electron-Ion Collider

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A benchmark dark-QCD model with long-lived dark pions mixing into an axion-like state could let the EIC probe electron-portal couplings and dark pion masses beyond the reach of B-factories.

  2. Flavor physics at the EIC with b-jet tagging

    hep-ph 2026-01 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Single b-jet counting in charged-current events at the EIC could probe new flavor-changing physics up to Λ_eff ≈ 5 TeV, about 30 times the collider energy, assuming tight b-tagging and polarized beams.
