This report, based on the Dark Sectors workshop at SLAC in April 2016, summarizes the scientific importance of searches for dark sector dark matter and forces at masses beneath the weak-scale, the status of this broad international field, the important milestones motivating future exploration, and promising experimental opportunities to reach these milestones over the next 5-10 years.
Measurements of the angular correlations between beauty and anti-beauty hadrons produced in LHC pp collisions at $\sqrt{s}=7$ TeV are presented. These results probe for the first time the small angular separation region and show sensitivity to collinear particle emission. The results are compared with predictions based on perturbative QCD calculations at leading and next-to-leading order.
An overview of the recent results on strangeness production and spectroscopy from the electron-proton collider experiments H1 and ZEUS at HERA is presented. Production of particles with light and strange quarks is discussed and compared with both theoretical predictions and with data from e+e- experiments. Measurements in the charm sector cover studies of the radially and orbitally excited charm states. Finally, the investigation of exotic states in the strangeness sector at HERA is reviewed.
A status report on the prospects of measuring rare decays of charmed mesons at HERA is given. Based on actual experience with measuring charm at HERA, the sensitivity on limits of rare decays is estimated.
