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 $772 times 10^6$ $Boverline{B}$ events 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 $m_{h} simeq m_{B^0} pm 3~mathrm{GeV}/c^2$.

We have measured several branching ratios for $psi^prime$ decay using the data collected by FNAL E835 experiment during year 2000, obtaining ${cal B}(psi^prime to e^+ e^-) = 0.0068pm0.0001pm0.0004$, ${cal B}(psi^prime to J/psi pi^+ pi^-) = 0.292pm0.0 05pm0.018$, ${cal B}(psi^prime to J/psi pi^0 pi^0) = 0.167pm0.005pm0.014$ and ${cal B}(psi^prime to J/psi eta) = 0.028pm0.002pm0.002$. We also present a measurement of the dipion mass distribution in the decays $psi^prime to J/psi pi pi$.
Theories beyond the standard model often predict the existence of an additional neutral boson, the $Z^{prime}$. Using data collected by the Belle II experiment during 2018 at the SuperKEKB collider, we perform the first searches for the invisible dec ay of a $Z^{prime}$ in the process $e^+ e^- to mu^+ mu^- Z^{prime}$ and of a lepton-flavor-violating $Z^{prime}$ in $e^+ e^- to e^{pm} mu^{mp} Z^{prime}$. We do not find any excess of events and set 90% credibility level upper limits on the cross sections of these processes. We translate the former, in the framework of an $L_{mu}-L_{tau}$ theory, into upper limits on the $Z^{prime}$ coupling constant at the level of $5 times 10^{-2}$ -- $1$ $M_{Z^prime}leq 6$ GeV/$c^2$.
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 re action 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.
New results are reported from a measurement of $pi^0$ electroproduction near threshold using the $p(e,e^{prime} p)pi^0$ reaction. The experiment was designed to determine precisely the energy dependence of $s-$ and $p-$wave electromagnetic multipoles as a stringent test of the predictions of Chiral Perturbation Theory (ChPT). The data were taken with an electron beam energy of 1192 MeV using a two-spectrometer setup in Hall A at Jefferson Lab. For the first time, complete coverage of the $phi^*_{pi}$ and $theta^*_{pi}$ angles in the $p pi^0$ center-of-mass was obtained for invariant energies above threshold from 0.5 MeV up to 15 MeV. The 4-momentum transfer $Q^2$ coverage ranges from 0.05 to 0.155 (GeV/c)$^2$ in fine steps. A simple phenomenological analysis of our data shows strong disagreement with $p-$wave predictions from ChPT for $Q^2>0.07$ (GeV/c)$^2$, while the $s-$wave predictions are in reasonable agreement.
Based on a sample of $1.31 times 10^9$ $J/psi$ events collected with the BESIII detector, an amplitude analysis of the isospin-violating decays $eta^prime rightarrow pi^+pi^-pi^0$ and $eta^prime rightarrow pi^0pi^0pi^0$ is performed. A significant $P $-wave contribution from $eta^prime rightarrow rho^{pm} pi^{mp}$ is observed for the first time in $eta^prime rightarrow pi^+pi^-pi^0$. The branching fraction is determined to be ${mathcal B}(eta^prime rightarrow rho^{pm}pi^{mp})=(7.44pm0.60pm1.26pm1.84)times 10^{-4}$, where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second systematic, and the third model dependent. In addition to the nonresonant $S$-wave component, there is a significant $sigma$ meson component. The branching fractions of the combined $S$-wave components are determined to be ${mathcal B}(eta^prime rightarrow pi^+pi^-pi^0)_S=(37.63pm0.77pm2.22pm4.48)times 10^{-4}$ and ${mathcal B}(eta^prime rightarrow pi^0pi^0pi^0)=(35.22pm0.82pm2.54)times 10^{-4}$, respectively. The latter one is consistent with previous BESIII measurements.
