Introduction Theoretical background Experiment Phenomenology Analysis Conclusions Abstract New fundamental interactions may exist Extra U(1) gauge group resulting in a new neutral gauge boson, the U boson Complete example of the scientific procedure in Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) physics Exclusion region from early beam dump experiments for the mass-coupling parameter space for an axially and feebly coupled light U boson María O. Olea Romacho Phenomenology of a new gauge U boson

Introduction Theoretical background Experiment Phenomenology Analysis Conclusions Motivation Study the simplest case of abelian symmetry groups associated to new neutral spin-1 mediators Natural consequence of a number of BSM theories The U boson, if light, is compatible with a role of mediator of light dark matter particles interactions María O. Olea Romacho Phenomenology of a new gauge U boson

Introduction Theoretical background Experiment Phenomenology Analysis Conclusions Framework General form of the extra U(1) generator before and after Higgs mechanism: restricted by gauge invariance of Yukawa couplings and the Higgs sector content New current: vectorial or may also have an axial part Axially coupled U boson → much less explored situation Mass: generated by a Higgs singlet? Mixing effects: either heavy or feebly coupled U bosons Matter fields: DM or just SM particles? María O. Olea Romacho Phenomenology of a new gauge U boson
