The vector $U$-bosons, or so called dark photons, are one of the possible candidates for the dark matter mediators. They are supposed to interact with the standard matter via a vector portal due to the $U(1)-U(1)^prime$ symmetry group mixing which might make them visible in particle and heavy-ion experiments. While there is no confirmed observation of dark photons, the detailed analysis of different experimental data allows to estimate the upper limit for the kinetic mixing parameter $epsilon^2$ depending on the mass $M_U$ of $U$-bosons which is also unknown. In this study we present theoretical constraints on the upper limit of $epsilon^2(M_U)$ in the mass range $M_U le 0.6$ GeV from the comparison of the calculated dilepton spectra with the experimental data from the HADES Collaboration at SIS18 energies where the dark photons are not observed. Our analysis is based on the microscopic Parton-Hadron-String Dynamics (PHSD) transport approach which reproduces well the measured dilepton spectra in $p+p$, $p+A$ and $A+A$ collisions. Additionally to the different dilepton channels originating from interactions and decays of ordinary matter particles (mesons and baryons), we incorporate the decay of hypothetical $U$-bosons to dileptons, $Uto e^+e^-$, where the $U$-bosons themselves are produced by the Dalitz decay of pions $pi^0to gamma U$, $eta$-mesons $eta to gamma U$ and Delta resonances $Delta to N U$. Our analysis can help to estimate the requested accuracy for future experimental searches of light dark photons by dilepton experiments.
We examine the spectrum of bremsstrahlung photons that results from the stopping of the initial net charge distributions in ultra-relativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions at the LHC. This effect has escaped detection so far since it becomes sizeable o
A novel, unorthodox picture of the dynamics of heavy ion collisions is developed using the concept of Hagedorn states. A prescription of the bootstrap of Hagedorn states respecting the conserved quantum numbers baryon number B, strangeness S, isospin
Direct photons have been proposed as a promising signature for the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) formation in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. Recently WA98 presented the first data on direct photons in Pb+Pb-collisions at SPS. At the same time RHIC sta
In this paper we perform a systematic study of the exclusive dilepton production by $gamma gamma$ interactions in $PbPb$ collisions at the LHC Run 2 energies considering different levels of precision for the treatment of the absorptive corrections an
We provide a simple derivation for particle production in heavy-ion collisions that is proportional to the rate of entropy production. We find that the particle production depends only on the power of the centre-of-mass collision energy $sqrt{s_{rm N
