Searching for a Hidden Universe with the Belle II Experiment

This event is from the archives of The Notice Board. The event has already taken place and the information contained in this post may no longer be relevant or accurate.

The Belle II experiment, located at the SuperKEKB electron-positron collider in Japan, is a state-of-the-art upgrade to the previous generation Belle experiment. SuperKEKB is currently operating at the world's highest collision intensity as Belle II approaches a collision dataset that will be 50 times larger than the original Belle dataset.  Enhanced by unique dark sector triggers, the accumulating Belle II dataset is rich with immediate and near-term opportunities for exciting dark sector physics through direct searches and precision measurements.  Results will be presented from a recent Belle II search for Axion-Like Particles, which are theorized to potentially allow for interactions between the known fundamental particles and a hidden sector. I will also present the status of an ongoing search for dark photons at Belle II and our prospects to confirm the ATOMKI X17 anomaly.
