Particle physics

a hypothetical extra U(1) gauge boson that couples to ordinary matter only through kinetic mixing with the photon, giving tiny effective charges.

In particle physics, dark photon refers to a hypothetical extra U(1) gauge boson that couples to ordinary matter only through kinetic mixing with the photon, giving tiny effective charges. This meaning comes from Holdom (1986) in Physics Letters B.[1]
