Parity Violation by a Dark Gauge Boson

Understand

We overview the dark parity violation, which means the parity violation induced by a dark gauge boson of very small mass and coupling.

• When a dark gauge boson has an axial coupling, as in dark Z model, it can change the effective Weinberg angle in the low-energy experiments such as the atomic parity violation and the low-Q^2 polarized electron scatterings.
• Such low-energy parity tests are an excellent probe of the dark force.
