SUMMARY:Theories and Signals of a "Dark" Photon\, Physics Department C
 olloquium\, Spencer Chang\,  Oregon University
DESCRIPTION:Recently\, a new force mediated by "Dark" photons has been
  the subject of intense interest in high energy physics\, both theoret
 ical and experimental\, leading to a resurgence in their experimental 
 search\, with several fixed target experiments operating in the near f
 uture.  On the other hand\, complementary dark photon signals at colli
 ders are model-dependent\, requiring theoretical input to determine th
 e most interesting signals.  In this talk\, I will describe a class of
  theories where the mechanism in which the dark photon mixes with the 
 photon predicts a new particle accessible at the LHC.  After describin
 g the theory\, I will discuss our analyses on simulated experimental d
 ata\, which suggest substantial improvements on existing collider sear
 ches for dark photons that decay to electrons.
