One of the most intriguing puzzles in hadron spectroscopy are the numerous charmonium-like states observed in the last decade, including charged states that are manifestly exotic. The $BABAR$ experiment has extensively studied those in B meson decays, initial state radiation processes and two photon reactions. The study of the process $B rightarrow J/psi phi K$, with a search for the resonant states X(4140) and X(4270) in their decays to $J/psi phi$, will be highlighted. The recent results of the Dalitz analysis of $eta_c$ to 3 pseudoscalar mesons, via 2-photon interactions, will be presented in this report
One of the most intriguing puzzles in hadron spectroscopy are the numerous charmonium-like states observed in the last decade, including charged states that are manifestly exotic. Over the years, the experiment $BABAR$ has extensively studied those in B meson decays, initial state radiation processes and two photon reactions. We report in this paper a new study on some of those states, performed using the entire data sample collected by $BABAR$ in $e^+e^-$ collisions, at center of mass energies near 10.58 GeV/c$^2$. The study of the process $B rightarrow J/psi phi K$ will be presented, and the search for the resonant states X(4140) and X(4270) in their decays to $J/psi phi$, will be highlighted.
Results from various searches for new physical phenomena performed by the four LEP experiments are summarised. Topics presented include the search for contact interactions, a Z boson, leptoquarks, excited leptons, technicolour and gravity in extra dimensions.
We present the results of a search for a dark photon decaying to $e^+e^-$ or $mu^+mu^-$ in the babar detector. We find no evidence for such a dark photon and set upper limits on the dark mixing as a function mass, tightening the constraints on the parameter space of several dark sector theories.
Several types of new-physics models predict the existence of light dark matter candidates and low-mass Higgs states. Previous babar searches for invisible light-Higgs decays have excluded large regions of model parameter space. We present searches for a dark-sector Higgs produced in association with a dark gauge boson and searches for a light Higgs in $Upsilon (nS)$ decays.
An overview of recent searches for exotic signatures using the ATLAS detector at the LHC is given. The results presented use data collected at center-of-mass energies of $sqrt{s}$ = 7 TeV and $sqrt{s}$ = 8 TeV, for datasets corresponding to a variety of integrated luminosities. Resonance searches using leptons, photons, missing transverse energy, and jets are performed, as well as searches requiring custom jet and track reconstruction. No deviations from Standard Model expectations are observed.
