abstract

We investigate constraints on the dark photon arising from an analysis of deep inelastic scattering (DIS) data. We perform extractions of parton distribution functions (PDFs) with and without a dark photon being present and allow the dark photon mixing parameter and mass to vary. We also include the effects of vector meson dominance to ensure the correct photo-production limit. By considering the variation of the total $\chi^2$ arising from such extractions we infer exclusion limits on the kinetic mixing parameter of the dark photon for dark photon mass up to $80\ {\rm GeV}$.

  1. Relaxed constraints for dark matter with axial coupling to a dark photon

    hep-ph 2025-10 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    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.

  2. Evidence for and implications of a dark photon

    hep-ph 2025-06 conditional novelty 2.0 of 10

    A global QCD fit to deep-inelastic scattering prefers a dark photon with mass 4 to 6 GeV and mixing 0.06 to 0.12, claimed as a 6.5 sigma hint, though direct searches exclude these parameters unless extra dark matter c...
