Description
We present searches for exotic new particles, including light weakly-
interacting gauge bosons, low-mass Higgs bosons, and dark-matter
candidates, performed with the BABAR detector and the PEP-II
asymmetric B-Factory. Such particles appear in extensions of the
Standard Model that attempt to explain recent astro-particle data and
fix the hierarchy problem of the Standard Model Higgs sector. The
searches are performed in the data samples collected by BABAR near the
Y(4S) resonance, as well as at the narrow Y(2S) and Y(3S) resonances.
