The search is performed by the CMS collaboration at the LHC, using a data set corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 130fbinv , recorded at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV in 2016-2018. No significant excess of events above the expectation from the standard model background is found. The results are interpreted in the context of a theoretical model in which the undetected particle is a massless dark photon. An upper limit is set on the product of the cross section for prod ... |
