SUMMARY:The Search for New GeV-scale Forces
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Rouven Essig\, SLAC\n\nPart of the HET Seminar Series
	.\n\nAbstract:\nA new force mediated by a new vector boson with mass in the
	 MeV to GeV range and with very weak coupling to ordinary matter appears na
	turally in many theoretical models and could also explain a variety of obse
	rved anomalies. Such anomalies include the discrepancy between the predicte
	d and the experimentally observed value for the muon anomalous magnetic mom
	ent\, and recent cosmic-ray data that can be explained by dark matter inter
	acting through this force with ordinary matter.  This talk will review the 
	motivation for such a force and present a broad array of probes of this\nph
	ysics.  These probes include high-luminosity e+e- colliders\, such as BaBar
	 and BELLE\, whose existing data sets may contain thousands of spectacular 
	events; new high-intensity fixed-target experiments at electron accelerator
	s such as Jefferson Laboratory; and indirect astrophysical probes such as g
	amma-ray observations of Milky-Way dwarf satellite galaxies\, which constit
	ute some of the least luminous and most dark matter dominated galaxies know
	n.
