Dark Sector searches with electron and positron beams at NA64@CERN / Marini, Anna (INFN, Genoa) /NA64e Collaboration
Several astrophysical observations indicate that the majority of the mass of the Universe is made of a new type of matter, called Dark Matter, not interacting with light. DM may be composed of a dark sector of new particles, charged under a new U(1) gauge boson kinetically mixed with the ordinary photon, called dark photon. [...]

Proof of principle for a light dark matter search with low-energy positron beams at NA64 / NA64 Collaboration
Thermal light dark matter (LDM) with particle masses in the 1 MeV - 1 GeV range could successfully explain the observed dark matter abundance as a relic from the primordial Universe. [...]

Proof of principle for a light dark matter search with low-energy positron beams at NA64 / Andreev, Yu. M. ; Antonov, A. ; Ayala Torres, M. A. ; Banerjee, D. ; Banto Oberhauser, B. ; Bautin, V. ; Bernhard, J. ; Bisio, P. ; Bondì, M. ; Celentano, A. et al.
Thermal light dark matter (LDM) with particle masses in the 1 MeV - 1 GeV range could successfully explain the observed dark matter abundance as a relic from the primordial Universe. In this picture, a new feeble interaction acts as a “portal” between the Standard Model and LDM particles, allowing for the exploration of this paradigm at accelerator experiments. [...]

The NA64-e experiment at CERN / Bisio, Pietro (Genoa U. ; INFN, Genoa) /NA64 Collaboration
One of the most compelling arguments motivating the search for physics beyond the Standard Model (SM) is the need to explain the nature of Dark Matter (DM). Despite an extensive experimental program that combined direct, indirect, and detection at colliders, to date, no conclusive results about DM particle nature have been determined. [...]

Search for Dark Matter at NA62 and NA64 experiments / Duk, Viacheslav (INFN, Perugia) ; Kirsanov, Mikhail (Moscow, INR) /NA62 Collaboration ; NA64 Collaboration
Searches for Dark Matter with the NA62 and NA64 experiments at CERN are presented. In the NA62 experiment the search is in the decays $A^\prime \to \mu \mu$ and $A^\prime \to e e$, where $A^\prime$ is a new vector particle corresponding to a vector mediator field. [...]

Dark sector searches at NA64-$e$ / Celentano, Andrea (INFN, Genoa) /NA64 Collaboration
The Light Dark Matter (LDM) hypothesis identifies dark matter particles with new sub-GeV "Hidden Sector'' states, neutral under Standard Model interactions and interfacing with our world through a new force. In the simplest model, the new interaction is mediated by a massive vector particle, also called "dark photon'' ($A^\prime$), kinetically mixed with the ordinary photon. [...]

Dark-Sector Search via Pion-Produced η and η′ Mesons Decaying Invisibly in the NA64h Detector / NA64 Collaboration
We present the first results from a proof-of-concept search for dark sectors via invisible decays of pseudoscalar η and η′ mesons in the NA64h experiment at the CERN SPS. Our novel technique uses the charge-exchange reaction of 50 GeV π- on nuclei of an active target as the source of neutral mesons. [...]

Shedding light on dark sectors with high-energy muons at the NA64 experiment at the CERN SPS / NA64 Collaboration
A search for Dark Sectors is performed using the unique M2 beam line at the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron. New particles ($X$) could be produced in the bremsstrahlung-like reaction of high energy 160 GeV muons impinging on an active target, $\mu N\rightarrow\mu NX$, followed by their decays, $X\rightarrow\text{invisible}$.

First constraints on the L$_{μ}$− L$_{τ}$ explanation of the muon g-2 anomaly from NA64-e at CERN / NA64 Collaboration
The inclusion of an additional $U(1)$ gauge $L_\mu-L_\tau$ symmetry would release the tension between the measured and the predicted value of the anomalous muon magnetic moment: this paradigm assumes the existence of a new, light $Z^\prime$ vector boson, with dominant coupling to $\mu$ and $\tau$ leptons and interacting with electrons via a loop mechanism. The $L_\mu-L_\tau$ model can also explain the Dark Matter relic abundance, by assuming that the $Z^\prime$ boson acts as a ``portal'' to a new Dark Sector of particles in Nature, not charged under known interactions.
