Book Chapter Description

The dark photon is a new gauge boson whose existence has been conjectured. The names para- [1], hidden-sector, secluded photon and U-boson [2] have also being used to indicate the same particle. The dark photon is dark because it arises from a symmetry of a hypothetical dark sector comprising particles completely neutral under the SM interactions. The neutrality of ordinary matter makes it blind to this new gauge boson which is accordingly invisible and therefore characterized as dark.
