Conclusions/Prospects The Stueckelberg extensions of SM and of MSSM do not rely on the Higgs mechanism to break the U(1) gauge symmetry. Thus one does not need to construct scalar potentials or minimize them. Some interesting phenomena arise A sharp Z with a width in the MeV regin. It can be distinguished from the narrow RS graviton. A new unit of electric charge with which the hidden sector couples to the photon. XWIMPs arise in Stueckelberg extensions but the class of models where XWIMPS arise could be much larger. Recent work indicates that Stueckelberg extension of the type discussed can arise from string theory.
