DM @ LHC 2018

Abstract: The next-generation B-factory experiment Belle II at the upgraded KEKB accelerator, SuperKEKB, will start physics data taking in 2018. Belle II offers the possibility to search for a large variety of dark sector particles in the GeV mass range complementary to the LHC and also to direct detection experiments underground. These searches at Belle II will profit both from the very large dataset that will be acquired by the Belle II experiment, and from specifically designed triggers for the early running of Belle II. This talk will review existing results from Belle and BaBar, and will focus on the discovery potential for Dark Photons and ALPs decaying into neutral and invisible final states at Belle II.
