abstract = {The vector $U$-bosons, or so called 'dark photons', are one
of the possible candidates for the dark matter mediators. We
present a procedure to derive theoretical constraints on the
upper limit of kinetic mixing parameter $ε^2(M_U)$ from
heavy-ion as well as $p+p$ and $p+A$ dilepton data from SIS
to LHC energies. Our study is based on the microscopic
Parton-Hadron-String Dynamics (PHSD) transport approach
which reproduces the measured dilepton spectra in $p+p$,
$p+A$ and $A+A$ collisions well. In addition to the
different dilepton channels originating from interactions
and decays of ordinary Standard Model matter particles
(mesons and baryons), we incorporate in the PHSD the decay
of hypothetical $U$-bosons to dileptons, $U \to e^+ e^-$,
where the $U$-bosons themselves are produced by the Dalitz
decay of pions, $η$-mesons, Delta resonances as well as by
vector meson and $K^+$ decays. This analysis provides the
upper limit on the $ε^2(M_U)$ and can also help to estimate
the requested accuracy for future experimental searches of
'light' dark photons by dilepton experiments.},
