Abstract

We present the results of a search for a dark photon decaying to e⁺e^- or μ⁺μ^- in the \babar detector. We find no evidence for such a dark photon and set upper limits on the dark mixing as a function mass, tightening the constraints on the parameter space of several dark sector theories.
