The presently world largest data sample of pi0 --> gamma e+e- decays containing nearly 5E5 events was collected using the WASA detector at COSY. A search for a dark photon U produced in the pi0 --> gamma U --> gamma e+e- decay from the pp-->pppi^0 reaction was carried out. An upper limit on the square of the U-gamma mixing strength parameter epsilon^2 of 5e-6 at 90% CL was obtained for the mass range 20 MeV <M_U< 100 MeV. This result together with other recent experimental limits significantly reduces the M_U vs. epsilon^2 parameter space preferred by the measured value of the muon anomalous magnetic moment.

The $e^+e^- to omega pi^0 to pi^0 pi^0 gamma$ process was investigated in the SND experiment at the VEPP-2M collider. A narrow energy interval near the $phi$-meson was scanned. The observed cross-section reveals, at the level of three standard deviat
ion, the interference effect caused by $phi to pi^0pi^0gamma$ decay. The cross-section parameters, as well as the real and imaginary parts of the $phi$-meson related amplitude, were measured.
We present a search for the dark photon $A^{prime}$ in the $B^0 to A^{prime} A^{prime}$ decays, where $A^{prime}$ subsequently decays to $e^+ e^-$, $mu^+ mu^-$, and $pi^+ pi^-$. The search is performed by analyzing $772 times 10^6$ $Boverline{B}$ eve
nts collected by the Belle detector at the KEKB $e^+ e^-$ energy-asymmetric collider at the $Upsilon (4S)$ resonance. No signal is found in the dark photon mass range $0.01~mathrm{GeV}/c^2 le m_{A^{prime}} le 2.62~mathrm{GeV}/c^2$, and we set upper limits of the branching fraction of $B^0 to A^{prime} A^{prime}$ at the 90% confidence level. The products of branching fractions, $mathcal{B}(B^0 to A^{prime} A^{prime}) times mathcal{B}(A^{prime} to e^+ e^-)^2$ and $mathcal{B}(B^0 to A^{prime} A^{prime}) times mathcal{B}(A^{prime} to mu^+ mu^-)^2$, have limits of the order of $10^{-8}$ depending on the $A^{prime}$ mass. Furthermore, considering $A^{prime}$ decay rate to each pair of charged particles, the upper limits of $mathcal{B}(B^0 to A^{prime} A^{prime})$ are of the order of $10^{-8}$-$10^{-5}$. From the upper limits of $mathcal{B}(B^0 to A^{prime} A^{prime})$, we obtain the Higgs portal coupling for each assumed dark photon and dark Higgs mass. The Higgs portal couplings are of the order of $10^{-2}$-$10^{-1}$ at $m_{h} simeq m_{B^0} pm 40~mathrm{MeV}/c^2$ and $10^{-1}$-$1$ at $m_{h} simeq m_{B^0} pm 3~mathrm{GeV}/c^2$.
The Heavy Photon Search experiment took its first data in a 2015 engineering run using a 1.056 GeV, 50 nA electron beam provided by CEBAF at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility, searching for an electro-produced dark photon. Using 1.7
days (1170 nb$^{-1}$) of data, a search for a resonance in the $e^{+}e^{-}$ invariant mass distribution between 19 and 81 MeV/c$^2$ showed no evidence of dark photon decays above the large QED background, confirming earlier searches and demonstrating the full functionality of the experiment. Upper limits on the square of the coupling of the dark photon to the Standard Model photon are set at the level of 6$times$10$^{-6}$. In addition, a search for displaced dark photon decays did not rule out any territory but resulted in a reliable analysis procedure that will probe hitherto unexplored parameter space with future, higher luminosity runs.

We have measured the $pi^+to {rm e}^+ ugamma$ branching ratio over a wide region of phase space, based on a total of 65,460 events acquired using the PIBETA detector. Minimum-$chi^2$ fits to the measured $(E_{e^+},E_gamma)$ energy distributions resul
t in the weak form factor value of $F_A=0.0119(1)$ with a fixed value of $F_V=0.0259$. An unconstrained fit yields $F_V=0.0258(17)$ and $F_A=0.0117(17)$. In addition, we have measured $a=0.10(6)$ for the dependence of $F_V$ on $q^2$, the ${rm e}^{+} u$ pair invariant mass squared, parametrized as $F_V(q^2)=F_V(0)(1+acdot q^2)$. The branching ratio for the kinematic region $E_gamma > 10 $MeV and $theta_{{rm e^+}gamma} > 40^circ $ is measured to be $B^{rm exp}=73.86(54) times 10^{-8}$. Earlier deviations we reported in the high-$E_gamma$/low-$E_{{rm e}^+}$ kinematic region are resolved, and we find full compatibility with CVC and standard $V$$-$$A$ calculations without a tensor term. We also derive new values for the pion polarizability, $alpha_E = rm 2.78(10) times 10^{-4} fm^3$, and neutral pion lifetime, $tau_{pi 0} = (8.5 pm 1.1) times 10^{-17} $s.
