The design luminosity of the machine is 8×1035 cm−2s−1 and the Belle II experiment aims to record 50 ab−1 of data, a factor of 50 more than its predecessor. From February to July 2018, the machine has completed a commissioning run, achieved a peak luminosity of 5.5×1033 cm−2s−1, and Belle II has recorded a data sample of about 0.5 fb−1. Main operation of SuperKEKB has started in March 2019.. Already this early data set with specifically designed triggers offers the possibility to search for a large variety of dark sector particles in the GeV mass range complementary to LHC and dedicated low energy experiments; these searches will benefit from more data in the process of being accumulated. This talk will review the state of the dark sector searches at Belle II with a focus on the discovery potential of the early data, and show the first results. 000001646 8560_ $$fdoris.yangsoo.kim@desy.de 000001646 8564_ $$uhttps://docs.belle2.org/record/1646/files/BELLE2-TALK-CONF-2019-115.pdf
