Due to its interaction with the ordinary, visible photon, such a particle can be experimentally detected via specific signatures. In this book, the authors review the physics of the dark photon from the theoretical and experimental point of view. They discuss the difference between the massive and the massless case, highlighting how the two phenomena arise from the same vector portal between the dark and the visible sector. A review of the cosmological and astrophysical observations is provided, together with the connection to dark matter physics. Then, a perspective on current and future experimental limits on the parameters of the massless and massive dark photon is given, as well as the related bounds on milli-charged fermions. The book is intended for graduate students and young researchers who are embarking on dark photon research, and offers them a clear and up-to-date introduction to the subject. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Physics,$x2191-5423 606 $aPhotons 606 $aDark matter (Astronomy) 606 $aBosons 615 0$aPhotons. 615 0$aDark matter (Astronomy) 615 0$aBosons. 676 $a539.721 700 $aFabbrichesi$b Marco$01074134 702 $aLanfranchi$b Gaia 702 $aGabrielli$b Emidio 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910739474703321 996 $aThe physics of the dark photon$92571472 997 $aUNINA
