Abstract
We search for single-photon decays of the Υ(1S) resonance, Υ→γ+invisible, where the invisible state is either a particle of definite mass, such as a light Higgs boson A[superscript 0], or a pair of dark matter particles, χχ̅ . Both A[superscript 0] and χ are assumed to have zero spin. We tag Υ(1S) decays with a dipion transition Υ(2S)→π[superscript +]π[superscript -]Υ(1S) and look for events with a single energetic photon and significant missing energy. We find no evidence for such processes in the mass range m[subscript A[superscript 0]]≤9.2  GeV and m[subscript χ]≤4.5  GeV in the sample of 98×10[superscript 6] Υ(2S) decays collected with the BABAR detector and set stringent limits on new physics models that contain light dark matter states.
