Since 1933, cosmological anomalies are reported at different scales and ages of the Universe. These anomalies could be due to a non-luminous mass ("dark matter"),
change of the laws of gravity, or a combination of both. Lepton colliders can investigate the non-luminous mass scenario by searching for different dark matter
candidates (millicharged dark matter, axion-like, or very stable...

Currently, the existence of a dark sector almost completely decoupled from the Standard Model is a viable solution for numerous long-standing problems in physics, including the nature of dark matter and the muon anomalous magnetic moment. A new gauge mediator, the dark photon, could be the portal to this hidden sector. The most general probe to its existence is the missing mass technique...

During the last years several Dark Sector Models have been proposed in order
to address striking and pluzzing astrophysical observations which fail standard
interpretations.
In the minimal case a new vector particle, the so called dark photon or U-boson,
is introduced, with small coupling with Standard Model particles. Also, the existence of a dark Higgs boson h’ is postulated, in analogy...

The Belle II experiment, located at the SuperKEKB collider at the high-energy research facility KEK in Tsukuba, Japan, started operation in 2018. Compared to the predecessor
experiment Belle, Belle II plans to increase the peak luminosity by a factor of <40, by employing nano-beam technology in the interaction region.
In particular the new, innermost sub-detector of Belle II - the Pixel...

The Standard Model of particle physics fails to explain several important
phenomena like neutrino oscillations, matter-antimatter asymmetry of
the Universe, cosmological dark matter. While we definitely need some
new physics capable of explaining the phenomena above, the absence of
any new particles at colliders implies that they are either very heavy
or feebly interacting with the known...

Symmetries (lepton flavor violation, lepton universality)
Invited Oral
Numerous astrophysical observations strongly suggest the existence of Dark Matter, which provides a hint of dark sector physics. There could exist many dark candidates predicted by theories BSM, such as dark photons and invisible things, that communicate with the Standard Model sector. The masses and decay modes of these particles are expected to be accessible at the BESIII experiment which is...

We report the recent results of the NA64 experiment at CERN on the search for a hypothetical X-boson which could explain the 8Be* anomaly. The results of the search for the dark photon A' which could mediate a new interaction between the visible and dark sectors and future NA64 research program will be also discussed.
