The New Zealand Corporate Governance Forum Guidelines (Guidelines) are intended to be used by both companies and institutional investors. They are designed as a contemporary governance reference for shareholders, chairpersons, directors and senior executives of listed companies.
The New Zealand Corporate Governance Forum (Forum) is committed to promoting good corporate governance in NZ companies for the long-term health of the capital market. The Forum's members are institutional investors with significant investment in NZ listed companies. The Forum members believe that good governance improves company performance and increases shareholder value.
The Forum supports the principles and guidelines developed by the Financial Markets Authority (FMA), published in its Corporate Governance in New Zealand Handbook for Directors. The FMA principles apply to a wide range of entities including unlisted, listed, governmental and not-for-profit organisations. The FMA guidelines form the basis for the Forum's Guidelines.
In several areas the Forum has extended the FMA guidelines in order to provide more detailed guidance for companies and investors in the listed company environment. The Guidelines reinforce that boards and management teams are accountable to the owners. The majority of additions come from international principles and frameworks that institutional investors globally regard as best practice. These include the guidelines of the International Corporate Governance Network (ICGN), the Australian Council of Superannuation Investors (ACSI) and the UK's Financial Reporting Council (FRC). The Guidelines will be reviewed periodically to take into account the evolving regulatory and governance landscape.
The Forum recognises that each company is different and deviations from the Guidelines are sometimes appropriate. However, transparency with owners is important and Boards should explain the reasons why a particular Guideline is not being followed. This enables shareholders to take account of a company's individual circumstances, including its size and stage of development. Companies can enhance their communications with shareholders by referring to these Guidelines when presenting their annual corporate governance report.
Note: The New Zealand Corporate Governance Forum Guidelines should not be used as a reference document for determining an issuer's legal obligations. However, companies should note that some guidelines may also cover areas which are subject to separate legal requirements (either within legislation or NZX's Listing Rules).
principles for corporate governance
The FMA Principles for Corporate Governance contribute to high standards of corporate governance in NZ and are supported by Forum.
01 Ethical Standards
Directors should set high standards of ethical behaviour, model this behaviour and hold management accountable for delivering these standards throughout the organisation.
02 Board Composition and Performance
To ensure an effective board, there should be a balance of independence, skills, knowledge, experience and perspectives.
03 Board Committee
The board should use committees where this will enhance its effectiveness in key areas, while still retaining board responsibility.
04 Reporting and Disclosure
The board should demand integrity in financial reporting and in the timeliness and balance of corporate disclosures.
05 Remuneration
The remuneration of directors and executives should be transparent, fair and reasonable.
06 Risk management
Directors should have a sound understanding of the key risks faced by the business.
07 Auditors
The board should ensure the quality and independence of the external audit process.
08 Shareholder relations
The board should foster constructive relationships with shareholders that encourage them to engage with the entity.
09 Stakeholder interests
The board should respect the interests of stakeholders, taking into account the entity's ownership type and its fundamental purpose.

Tulipa praestans is a species of tulip native to the mountains of Tajikistan. Many well known cultivars have been formed from the original plant.

Description
It is a low-growing species tulip, and has  tall stems. It has 3 to 7 grey-green leaves that are downy and fringed with hairs (ciliate). It can have one flower (normally in the wild,) or it can produce multiple flowers per bulb, meaning it can have a pair of flowers or up to a maximum of five flowers per bulb. It blooms in April, with cup shaped flowers. The flowers are  wide, in orange-red, orange-scarlet, or scarlet. The anthers are yellow or purple.

Taxonomy
The specific epithet praestans, refers to the Latin for 'remarkable',' pre - eminent , superior , excellent or distinguished'.

'Fusilier' even has a sport, 'Unicum'.

 T. praestans 'Unicum', with the leaves edged in cream.

 T. praestans 'Moondance', - has deep orange flowers which are relatively large and have pointy petals.

Questioners (Paraphrased)
*Exact transcription impossible as everyone is talking over each other* Basically a couple of fans were talking with Brandon about making Legion into a TV series; one person thought that in the pilot, the aspects need to be actors, while the other thought that (for the pilot only) they should not be seen, so Stephen looks like a wacky eccentric talking to himself about solving mysteries, and then the episodes would reveal the individuality of the aspects.
*paraphrase* Brandon agreed that the second approach would be very clever, but that it would be very hard to convince (someone - not sure if it was himself, or the aspects, or who!) to do that, because he has them all cast in his head.
*verbatim* Normally I don't cast actors in the roles in my books, they're just who they are, but each of the aspects is an actor to me. If you look really closely, you might be able to guess who they are, because they're all famous actors.
We sold it to Lionsgate, and they never made it, and the option lapsed. We've sold it to somebody else now, but we'll see if it ever gets made.

Movie/Television Updates
Stephen Leeds/Legion
The Stephen Leeds stories have recently been optioned for a television series by a new production company. This is the property's third time being picked up for an option, so I'm hopeful we'll make it work this time. I don't believe the company has been announced officially yet, so we'll hold off on mentioning them for now. But we're probably in the middle of Step Two for this one.

Will you ever consider writing more in the Legion world?
So, if I do any more Legion, they will be television scripts or audio originals. This is it for the books. But it's a springboard.

Where are Brandon Sanderson properties as far as other media are concerned? So let's run down them.
Fox has The Reckoners. I don't know how being bought by Disney affects that at all. But they have been very enthusiastic about The Reckoners for many years, and I hope that they will continue to be.
MGM has Snapshot, which is lesser-known, it's like a cross between The Matrix and Se7en. It's very different for me. They are very far along, they have a really excellent screenplay, and that one, I wouldn't be surprised if that's the first one that gets made. Which would be kind of odd if the first Brandon Sanderson property is a serial killer thriller.
Speaking of thrillers, Legion is owned by a group, they just bought it this summer, and last I heard they were working on showrunners and had somebody interested, so that is in a good place also. We probably have to change the name, now that Marvel has a Legion show.
The Cosmere is owned by DMG Entertainment, whom I love. They have been great to work with. The Cosmere is very difficult to adapt. They have been good partners in trying to find the right way to adapt that. Nothing is off the table. I still think it's most likely that we would see Stormlight as a television show, Mistborn as a movie, but these things are still in the foundational stages, just of getting screenplays that we like and things like that.
I think that is everything right now. I'll do a bigger thing on my blog in December where I catch anyone up.
Any more board games? There was a Stormlight board game, and we have backed off on that because some of the early things we got, we didn't like the direction it was going. We have really liked the two board games that have come out. They have both turned out really well. They have both fulfilled their Kickstarter requirements, which is one of our number one things, we don't want to have that hanging over people. So they've both been really great partners. I still would like to see Stormlight, we were going to do a Shattered Plains style game. We'll see how that goes.

Have you been approached by anybody about making a movie?
Okay, "making a movie," okay, okay. *sighs* *crowd laughs* So, Holywood. Holywood! Holywood is this-- they do this thing where they option books, right? And this-- most of the deals you see, they get signed, are what we call an option. They come in, they say, "We think we might be able to get a movie made, but we don't know for sure. So we're going to rent the rights from you." Against-- Like leasing. Renting to own. Where we pay you a certain amount every year that's against a big payout, and if we ever decide to make a big payout we buy the rights outright. But until then we can rent them for like five years and pay you every year or eighteen months. These are very common in Holywood. They happen a lot. And it's-- now that I've become involved in this it's kind of interesting to me that, like, when something gets optioned it's like, "Huge news! Oh, it's gonna get made!" But one in thirty of these get made <by general>. And most of the deals you're hearing about are those. As well you'll probably hear about this deal, you'll be like, "Oh, somebody's going to make this film." And then five years later you're like, "Whatever happened to that?" Well, it was just an option deal. And I've had like ten things get optioned. Like I've sold things over and over again and stuff like that. And so yes, people have my works optioned. Nothing I've done has ever gone past screenplay except for Alcatraz, at DreamWorks Animation which went to storyboard before then they decided to kill it. So, yeah obviously you didn't get that movie. That was years ago. They made the Croods instead. *crowd laughs* No, really, I-- those were the two competing projects. So I got-- So nothing has gone past screenplay-- I have gotten a screenplay a couple times before, but the step after that is like to get a director attached, and then like, you know, then get a greenlight, or get actors attached. The greenlight is the hard thing. The only thing I know of that got greenlit recently is The Sword of Shannara, which is coming out in January I think. Everything else I know is just an option. And so, yeah. But Steelheart's at Shawn Levy's company, who did the Night at the Museum films. Emperor's Soul is at DMG who were producers on two of the Iron Man films. The rest of the Cosmere is optioned by somebody else, but they haven't announced it yet, so I can't talk about it. They're very specific about stuff like that. Legion's been optioned twice, and both people have not been able to get that made as a television show. I mean, everything's been optioned.

Any updates on movies?
So... Hollywood is Hollywood, right? We've sold Mistborn three times now to three different groups. We've sold Legion twice.
So here's how we stand right now: the Steelheart books are still owned by Fox. Sean Levy's company, he did the Night at the Museum films, but their option lapses in July, on July 1st. They've renewed the option multiple times, to the fact that this is their last option month, and we haven't seen a screenplay. Which is not a good sign. So, I would not hold my breath that, in a month, they're going to greenlight a movie. They had a screenplay, they discarded a screenplay, they have not commissioned another screenplay. They have one month left. They could just come out and be like, "Here's a bunch of money, Brandon!" They're not gonna do that. It'll lapse in a month, most likely.
Legion has been recently purchased a couple of weeks ago. Couple months ago, actually, but by a place called Cineflix, in Canada. Legion was really hot for a while. Then Marvel made a TV show called Legion, and all the interest dried up. And then the Marvel show just kind of went away; I don't think they're doing it any more. And now suddenly everyone wants to buy Legion again... If they make a TV show, they would change the name. The Legion collection is coming out in the fall, and we still have Legion on the title, but it's called The Many Lives of Stephen Leeds as a subtitle.
Snapshot, my novella, came out last year, it's optioned by MGM. They have put a screenwriter on it who is doing a really good job. I'm very impressed with the work the screenwriter's doing. I'm very optimistic about that project. It's looking really good.
The Cosmere is optioned by a group called DMG. They are a primarily Chinese company who-- What they do is, they finance American movies in exchange for getting the Chinese rights. So, they did this on Iron Man 3, and a couple of other films. And they have the rights until next spring. I really like DMG, it's why I sold them the Cosmere. They have been going through some changes lately, the studio exec that was on it has left the company and started a new company. And that's always a little bit of a setback. They have a screenplay for Stormlight. It came out at 250 pages, which is a 3-hour movie. Which they're like "Eh, this is too long." And it still cut out a ton, so they're now looking at television. They wanted to try the thing first, but the fact that everyone's gobbling up the television rights for fantasy properties now makes them say "Ooh, maybe we should actually do a television show on this." So, really, it's gonna depend on, how does the Wheel of Time show go? How does the Witcher show go? How does the new Lord of the Rings show go? And things like that will have a big influence. Amazon's doing a prequel Lord of the Rings series about Aragorn as a ranger. The Witcher is on Netflix. It's been greenlit for about a year, so it's actually moving. And then the Wheel of Time show, just got announced, didn't it? Who has that? I don't know if I can tell you, I don't know if it's been announced. The television show has been announced, I don't know if they've announced who's doing it yet. But somebody is doing a Wheel of Time television show. It's not been greenlit, but it's had a lot of good rumblings. It looks good. I can't say who it is, unless it's been announced, but I've done calls with their showrunner, who I like. They seem to be treating the property with respect. I think there's a decent chance you'll get a good Wheel of Time show now. Decent-- in Hollywood, decent's still a 10% chance, right? But that's higher of a chance than any of my things look like right now, except potentially Snapshot, which I wouldn't give as high percentage, even, because it's not as far along. But I'm very impressed by how it's going.
So, there you go...

Do you have any updates on games or movies or shows?
Okay, let's go down the big run-down.
We've been having moderate luck with board games, people are actually producing the things that they sign up to do. So, we should be having another board game before too long. We have the House War game, and we have the Reckoners game coming out, and there might be another one to announce eventually. We've been having a lot more luck there than we have other places. Video games, nada. There's just nothing. I would love to do a video game, but-- yeah. I don't know what's going on over there. We sold the Mistborn rights, they were really nice, and then they didn't do anything for, like, five years, and eventually, they're like, "We can't make this."
So, Hollywood. Steelheart series is owned by Fox, with 21 Laps producing, that's Shawn Levy's company, he made the Night at the Museum films. They still own that, they are on their second renewal of the options, so they've had it for a number of years. I have not heard anything from them since last July, when they called and said they wanted to keep it still and wrote us a check. I don't know what's going on there.
Snapshot is owned by MGM. Snapshot is a novella I wrote about a year ago, it's kind of Phillip K. Dick-ish, with a little bit of Se7en, the serial killer show. It's different. MGM bought that, they have assigned a screenwriter. The screenwriter said his goal would be early this year, in his schedule, to work on it. And they've been fairly good at staying in contact with us every couple of months. We haven't heard from them since, about, December, when they said that there would be there, so we probably need an update there. But things seem to be moving just fine there.
DMG has the Cosmere. They bought it up in pieces, and eventually just bought the rest of it from me. They have been really good to work with. DMG has always involved me in everything. They have shown me every screenplay and script they have come up with, and they made the VR experience as a tool to try to explain the Stormlight to studio execs who don't read books. Which you can get on VR systems, if you want. It's kind of trippy, with you down in the chasms in the Shattered Plains. But that was primarily so we can go to studio execs and be like "It's like this!" But they have been really good to work with. Right now, latest news is they're worried Stormlight is going to be too hard to do as a film series. Surprising! So, latest discussions with them-- Though, we did get a screenplay from them that came in at 250 pages. Which, if you don't know screenplay format, one page equals one minute, so 250 pages is 4+ hours. And it still cut out a lot, so they're like, "Well..." So, I don't know where that will go but that is where we're looking right now. Mistborn, they're still looking at for a feature. They have a screenplay that they are trying to get studios to partner with them, and things like that. They're doing the whole Hollywood runaround. So, who knows.
Most likely, the best thing that could happen for Stormlight would be for Wheel of Time to get made and do really well, and then everyone will be like "Wow, we want more epic fantasy. It's not just Game of Thrones, it's lots of stuff!" Hopefully, that'll go places, but I don't know any more than you guys really know about that. I can't say specifics. I did do a phone call with one of the people involved, they reached out and said "Hey!" but it's just "Hey, we're the TV people, hi!" So, we will wait eagerly for updates on that.
We haven't announced a deal, but we've signed contracts on Legion for another television show. Legion, this will be our third or fourth option on that. If you don't know how Hollywood works, they option things, which means they rent the rights, and they get them for three to four years depending, with payments every year or eighteen months. And during that time, they try to get it in development, try to get everyone excited about it, try to get it to a screenplay, and stuff like that. And at the end of those years, they either pay you the rest of the money, if they have the option-- it's like a rental that applies, it's like rent-to-own. The big price, that they pay a little of that price. Or they just decide to let the option lapse, and then it goes to someone else. So, that has happened at least several times. Nobody wanted it for a while, when the Marvel show was happening, and suddenly, they want it again.
So, there's your rundown. A whole lot of "Well, this looks promising, I think," which is how it's always kind of gone. Hopefully, Wheel of Time or Name of the Wind will come out and do really well, and that will spark everybody wanting to make very expensive fantasy properties and very expensive television shows. Because The Stormlight Archive will not be cheap. It will be really, really not cheap. So, if you have an aunt or an uncle who happens to runs Netflix Originals division, tell them they need a billion dollars. They've got it, right? They have to spend it, or they'll have to pay taxes on it, so might as well do Stormlight.

Is there any possibility of a Legion television show?
There is, we have sold the rights to a company called Cinaflex in Canada, they are trying to develop one right now. Hopefully, it turns out alright. We probably have to change the title because there is a Marvel Legion series, we would probably just call it Leeds.
That would be awesome. What about Snapshot?
Snapshot's at MGM, they have a really sharp screenplay that I love. Best screenplay based on my work that anyone's ever turned in. I'm really, really excited and hopeful for that one but there is no greenlight yet so who knows.

The new Marvel television show is unrelated, but it being out killed our chances of a television show based on these books. I do want to do a third story, but might save it for another short story collection (with all of the non-cosmere works like this, Perfect State, etc.)
I really wanted Legion to be a television show, even before I started writing the first story. So we might rebrand them, calling them simply Leeds, and try another run through Hollywood with the new titles. If so, another novella would certainly help us get attention there. We'll see.
Status: Probably not this year, but still on my radar.
#legion 3 #legion tv series
Legion and Dark One are currently in negotiations. The rest of the Cosmere is covered by the DMG deal, as we want one company working on that at a time. We have a small deal for Defending Elysium that has it under option with a screenwriter, and the first draft screenplay is good. That leaves Alcatraz, The Rithmatist, and a couple of shorts (Dreamer, Perfect State, Firstborn) with no options right now.

How much more do you want to write about Stephen Leeds?
How much more do I want to write about Stephen Leeds, from Legion? I want to write a decent amount more. I have finished Legion 2, which you may have noticed, which is called Legion: Skin Deep. I had a really great name for a title, but I don't know if I can use it because Skin Deep is a reference to beauty, right? But I thought a great title would be Legion: Lies of the Beholder. I like the pun on that but that is also "beauty is in the eyes of the beholder" so I can't make them all puns off of beauty. The original concept with Legion was to do a short that would--I imagine being a television show, it's how I imagined it and I wanted to do future episodes, so to speak. I particularly love the episode format they are doing for Sherlock on the BBC, if you guys have seen that, where your season is three hour-and-a-half long mini movies basically. And I love that format for a television show, I wish we could get more television shows doing that. I would rather sink my teeth into an hour-and-a-half long episode that has character growth, real growth and development, progress and the next one doesn't just hit the reset button and say, another adventure. It is progressing the characters further. I'd rather get three of those in a season than a twenty-two episode where of those episodes eighteen are just yet another adventure with no progress. And so--anyway that's how I imagine that.
When Legion came out there was talk Hollywood was already interested.
Yes, we sold the rights and then they let them lapse. They kept the rights for two years and they let them lapse.

I am likely done writing Legion novellas. I still hold out hope for a television show; we have the rights to that sold. And there's a decent chance we'll do some audio originals that I'll do with a co-author on those. So if you really like Steven Leeds, I've always imagined Legion as a television show pitch. That is from the very first novella, I am writing in-depth episodes (kind of like the Sherlock episodes of the BBC Sherlock), standalone episodes that build on each other was my pitch to myself.

Top Corporate Bollywood Dancers in Manchester!
In 2013 as well as 2016, the Talk Talk offices in Irlam, Manchester, invited Ri Ri's Dance Academy to entertain their employees for their Diwali party. With amazing credentials, Ri Ri's Dancers are the top Corporate Bollywood Dancers in Manchester!
Diwali, abbreviated from the Sankskrit word Deepavali, literally translates to a 'row of lamps'. Hindus light lamps or candles during Diwali as a mark of celebration of good over evil and the light itself is a symbol of positivity and eternal hope. After fourteen years in exile Lord Ram, Goddess Sita and Lakshman return to their hometown, Ayodhya. This momentous occasion is highlighted every year through the celebration of Diwali.
During the festival of Diwali, celebrated by Hindus, Henna painting, eating beautiful Indian cuisine, exchanging presents, designing colourful Rangoli patterns, visiting the Mandir (temple), decorating diyas and, of course, dancing are all part of the festivities!
Three of Ri Ri's national television female Dancers performed a number of stunning fusion Bollywood dance performances, including a number of styles such as the classical form of Ballet. The creative pieces were enhanced further by the outstanding, eye catching, costumes ornamented with sparkle and glitter – Simply perfect for the occasion of celebration!
Although non Asian dance forms such as Ballet, Street Dance and Jazz were incorporated into the performances, the Bollywood beat and Indian music was consistent to which the Dancers performed too, purely adding a twist to the dance mix, yet concurrently keeping it traditional, too. This concept not only supplemented a little surprise for those watching but it appealed to a much wider audience, capturing the hearts of the Western audience, as well.
Talk Talk, in 2016, requested an interactive Bollywood Dance workshop, as part of their Diwali party, from renowned Celebrity and Guinness World Record breaking choreographer, Ria Meera Munshi. The Talk Talk team were certainly not shy to get involved and have fun on the dance floor with Ria!

There was a giant, and the Cambodian woman was the dwarf. And when I looked in the bathroom mirrors, I saw Bob … I think you oversold the toilets, I've seen better designed, cleaner toilets in Dublin's 'Copperface Jack's' (i.e., the worst bar in the world). Silencio is a parallel universe where cocktails are 18 euros and everyone works in luxury goods sales … and there is NO PIE ON THE MENU!?!?


With the Fed doing pretty much what most expected with the taper of 10Bil more on asset purchases, equities jumped and seemingly risk jumped for the day with the EUR/USD closing close to its highs. What does seem a little weird is that even though they still say all is fine they lowered the growth rate for the US GDP for the next two years as well. Something just don't seem right with that and remember the Fed gets growth rates wrong much more than they have ever gotten it right. That's why they call them projections while some call it wishful thinking. What was also interesting to see Gold up on the day as well. Just another questionable thing regarding risk.
With this first push up on the EUR/USD I will have a small bias for the next push but also very cautious since it also has a topping formation as well as coming into significant daily resistance at 1.3600. This will be tough to break without serious conviction that in all honesty I don't think there is reason for considering the ECB is most likely the next central bank to go full retard. The best level for a long today is 1.3578 but since it is rather close to current price they may dip as low as the hourly 200 or even 1.3556. If they do run it that low I would prefer to be short from a stop run to the highs waiting to see if they have the gumption to break it to the downside pricing in the ECB jumping on the QE bandwagon. The Asian highs are valid as well for the short but would be best to see them run it down a little more during the Asian session, however seeing the stop run above yesterdays highs would be better.
The GBP/USD is still mired in the range its been holding for four days now with no conviction either way. At this point I am thinking the probability for the break to the upside has increased since there has been no desire to close the inefficient move lowering the chance they will. The stop run below Tuesdays lows adds to that as well. In order to get that break we need either the EUR/GBP to break down substantially or the EU blow to the upside as well on USD weakness. The best level for the long is the current Asian lows of 1.6973 but if they do show the conviction above 1.7008 then any pullback will likely be smaller if there is even a decent pullback to get in for the long. I imagine there are a lot of breakout orders just above that will spike a break pretty well. I will be open for the short at 1.7002 or stop run above 1.7008 while watching for the conviction.
Gold made a second intraday push yesterday and I expect it will make a third today running up to test the highs at 1284.78. A best case scenario would be to see it dip to the 1272.79-1271.16 range from yesterday and show some clear trapping for the long and take profit just short of testing 1284.78. Otherwise if it just run straight off I will be open for the short from the 1283.34-1281.91 range with some clear manipulation there.
The calendar is light today with just Retail Sales data from the UK during the London session. Expectations are set rather low considering the last upside surprises. As long as it misses to the upside again then they might have good reason to break the GU to the upside. If it is close to expectations then the probability goes down as more thoughts of the impossibility of raising rates kicks in.
The US has the Philly Fed Index expected to drop so if it disappoints then USD weakness may creep up but it will need to be big I expect. Otherwise a miss to the upside should hold the EU and GU from breaking to the upside and possibly see a decent move down.

Thank you Chad for your beautiful presentation!


This building was built in 1903 at 139 West Richmond Avenue by J.Q. Black who supplied the area with coal, wood, hay, and grain. Robert Dornan Sr. bought the building in 1909 and added the service of moving goods.
In 1911 he bought a truck and began the Richmond Supply Company, the oldest continuing family business in Richmond. Later his wife, Trannie Freeman, became part of the business and after W.W.II his son, Robert Dornan Jr., joined them. The building was sold in 1947 when the business moved into 145 West Richmond Avenue. The business continued until 1987.
In May 1990 the building was saved from destruction by community action. It was moved to its present location 139½ Washington Avenue to serve as an information center for the Point Richmond History Association.

Humanitarian Law Center
From SourceWatch
"A regional non-governmental human rights and humanitarian law organization, the Humanitarian Law Center was founded in 1992 following the outbreak of armed conflicts in the former Yugoslavia. The HLC is based in Belgrade and has regional offices in Priština and Prizren in Kosovo, Novi Sad in Vojvodina (opened in 1997), and in Podgorica, Montenegro (opened 1999). Over 70 lawyers, attorneys, researchers, analysts and other dedicated professionals work for the HLC on a full- or part-time basis. Since its founding, the HLC has researched killings, disappearances, camps, torture of prisoners of war, and the patterns of ethnic cleansing in times of armed conflict by interviewing witnesses and victims. Upon collecting a large body of documentation on war crimes, the HLC in August 1994 began cooperating with the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) at The Hague. And, as of June 1999, it has been cooperating also with Prosecutor's Offices in Serbia, Montenegro and Kosovo, providing them with information and expert assistance with regard to war crimes trials."

\section{Introduction}
\label{intro}
The existence of dark matter (DM) in the universe has been established by several cosmological and astrophysical observations. Dark matter contributes roughly $75\%$ of the entire matter existing in the universe. The nature of the DM has, however, remained undetermined so far. The negative results of the direct searches~\cite{Arcadi:2017kky} have reached a sensitivity level where they are in tension with the assumption that the DM has at least some common charge under the SM gauge interactions. This has led to consider a scenario in which there is a separate ``dark sector'' consisting of one or more particles that are not charged under SM gauge group. The dark and visible SM sectors interact through a portal - as it is commonly called. The portal consists of operators of different forms depending upon the spin of the mediator. One can have a scalar portal with Higgs boson, a pseudo scalar axion-like particle mediator, a fermionic heavy (sterile) neutrino mediator, or a vector mediator. These have been extensively studied, see for example Dark Sector 2016 Workshop Community Report~\cite{Alexander:2016aln} and Refs.~\cite{Batell:2017cmf,Blennow:2019fhy,Fabbrichesi:2020wbt}. In the case when the only interaction available to the dark-sector particles with the visible sector is gravitational, the mediator is a spin-2 graviton as in Kaluza-Klien (KK) warped extra-dimension models~\cite{Randall:1999ee, Kraml:2017atm, Lee:2013bua, Lee:2014caa, Rueter:2017nbk, Goyal:2019vsw}.

In the vector-portal, the interaction between the dark and visible sectors takes place through the kinetic mixing between the dark $U(1)_d$ and SM $U(1)_Y$ gauge fields $Z_d^\mu$ which is called ``dark photon" and $B^\mu$, respectively. The kinetic mixing is given by~\cite{Davoudiasl:2012ag}
\begin{equation}
 {\mathcal L}_{\rm guage}
 = -\frac{1}{4} B_{\mu\nu} B^{\mu\nu} -\frac{1}{4} {Z_d}_{\mu\nu} Z^{\mu\nu}_d+\frac{1}{2} \frac{\epsilon}{\cos \theta_W} B_{\mu\nu} Z^{\mu\nu}_d
 \label{lgauge}
\end{equation}
with $V_{\mu\nu}=\partial_\mu V_\nu - \partial_\nu V_\mu,~V=Z_d/B$.
A redefinition of fields leads to an effective parity conserving induced coupling between the dark photon $Z_d$ and the electromagnetic current as
\begin{equation}
{\mathcal L}_{J_\mu} = - \epsilon\, e\, J_\mu^{em} Z_d^\mu.
\end{equation}
The parameter $\epsilon$ is assumed to be small $\epsilon < {\cal O} (10^{-3}) - {\cal O} (10^{-1})$ but theoretically can be of order 1 and is not required to be small. It can be calculated in some beyond the SM (BSM) models to lie between ${\cal O} (10^{-12}) < \epsilon < {\cal O} (10^{-3})$, see Refs.~\cite{Abel:2006qt,Dienes:1996zr}. After the electroweak symmetry breaking, $Z_{\mu}$ obtains a nonzero mass $m_{Z}$ and depending on how $U(1)_d$ symmetry is broken, $Z_d^{\mu}$ will receive a nonzero mass $m_{Z_d}$ and will cause mixing with the SM neutral vector boson $Z_\mu$. The $U(1)_d$ symmetry can be broken from a spontaneous symmetry breaking term through an SM singlet scalar with a non-trivial $U(1)_d$ charge. Alternatively, $U(1)_d$ gauge boson $Z_d^{\mu}$ may acquire mass by means of the Stuckelberg mechanism~\cite{Battaglia:2003gb, Gopalakrishna:2008dv, Hewett:1988xc}. The dark $Z_d$ and SM $Z$ boson can now mix to give mass eigenstates leading to parity-violating $Z_d$ coupling given by
\begin{equation}
{\mathcal L}_{\rm int} = - \left( \epsilon\, e\, J_\mu^{em} + \epsilon_Z \frac{g}{\cos \theta_W} J_\mu^{\rm NC}\right)Z_d^\mu,
\label{lint}
\end{equation}
where $\epsilon_Z$ depends on the $Z-Z_d$ mass mixing term~\cite{Davoudiasl:2012ag, Davoudiasl:2013aya}. The dark photon ($Z_d$) interactions with the SM particles can be explored in low energy phenomenology as well as in collider experiments. Dark photons of mass up to several MeV are primarily constrained by the existing bounds from cosmology, astrophysics, and accelerator (Beam-dump) experiments (see Dark sectors 2016 Workshops Report~\cite{Alexander:2016aln}). Depending on the mass of the dark photon, several channels are available for the decay. For masses up to 100~GeV, the dark photon can decay into a pair of SM fermions. Dark photon of mass of $1$~GeV has been explored in Large Hadron-electron collider (LHeC) and Future Circular Hadron electron collider (FCC-he) colliders where the signal is given by the displaced decay of long-lived photon into the charged fermions. The non-observation of the signal can exclude dark photons of mass $< 1$~GeV~\cite{DOnofrio:2019dcp}. There are also few studies on dark photon of mass $\sim 10$~GeV where LHCb provides stringent constraints on the kinetic mixing parameters $\epsilon$.
For dark photon mass $20 \leq m_{Z_d} \leq 330$~GeV, the 2\,$\sigma$ exclusion limits on the mixing parameter $\epsilon \leq [10^{-3}-10^{-2}]$ can be explored at future $e^+e^-$ colliders~\cite{He:2017zzr}. The Lorentz structure of $Z_d^\mu\ell^+\ell^-$ interaction has been probed recently~\cite{Lee:2020tpn} by studying the correlation between $Z_d^\mu$ angle relative to $e^+e^-$ beam direction in the $e^+e^-$ rest frame and the $\mu^-$ angle relative to the boost direction of $Z_d^\mu$ in the $Z_d^\mu$ rest-frame based in Belle II detector. It was shown that the detection of dark $Z_d^\mu$ decay into muon-pairs in $e^+e^-$ colliders can probe the parity-violating couplings.

In the next sect.~\ref{framework}, a formalism for the analysis is discussed with definitions and observable. Simulation and observable for the study are presented in sect.~\ref{simu}. Sect.~\ref{analysis} includes the analysis details with the results of this study. Summary and discussions are followed in sect.~\ref{summary}.
\section{Framework}
\label{framework}
In this study, we explore the Lorentz structure and the magnitude of parity violation of dark $Z_d$ coupling to the SM fermions. We consider a generic structure:
\begin{equation}
{\mathcal L}_{Z_d f \bar f} = - \epsilon\, e\, \bar f \left(g_V \gamma_\mu + g_A \gamma_\mu \gamma_5 \right) f Z_d^\mu,
\label{lzdff}
\end{equation}
for the dark $Z_d$ interaction with the SM fermions, where $g_V^2+g_A^2 = 1$. We base our study on LHeC environment, which employs the $E_p = 7$~TeV proton beam of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and electrons from an Energy Recovery Linac (ERL) being developed for the LHeC. The choice of an ERL energy of $E_e = 60$ (120)~GeV with an available proton energy $E_p = 7$~TeV would provide a centre of mass energy of $\sqrt{s} \approx 1.3\,(1.8)$~TeV at the LHeC using the LHC protons~\cite{AbelleiraFernandez:2012cc,Bruening:2013bga,AbelleiraFernandez:2012ty}. Since $Z_d$ couples to SM particles via the interactions in Lagrangian~(\ref{lzdff}), the production of $Z_d$ in $e^- p$ collider follows through charged (neutral ({\tt NC})) currents ({\tt CC}): $e^- p \to \nu_e (e^-) Z_d\, j$. To probe the mass range of $Z_d$ as a function of $\epsilon$ in this setup, we use cross-section and asymmetries associated with polarisation observables~\cite{Boudjema:2009fz, Rahaman:2016pqj} of $Z_d$ in the decay $Z_d \to \ell^+ \ell^-$.

For a spin-$s$ particle one can construct a total of $(2 s + 1)^2 - 1 = 4 s (s + 1)$ polarisation observables. In our case, it should be eight such combinations since $s = 1$, which are related to the angular distributions of its daughter ($\ell^-$) in its rest frame. The normalised decay angular distribution of the lepton $\ell^-$ from the $Z_d$ in the rest frame of $Z_d$ is given by~\cite{Boudjema:2009fz},
\begin{align}
&\frac{1}{\sigma} \frac{d\sigma}{d\Omega_{\ell^-}^\star} =
\frac{3}{8\pi} \left[ \left(\frac{2}{3}-(1-3\delta) \ \frac{T_{zz}}{\sqrt{6}}\right) + \alpha \ p_z
\cos\theta_{\ell^-}^\star\right.\nonumber\\
&+ \sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}(1-3\delta) \ T_{zz} \cos^2\theta_{\ell^-}^\star
\nonumber\\
&+ \left(\alpha \ p_x + 2\sqrt{\frac{2}{3}} (1-3\delta)
\ T_{xz} \cos\theta_{\ell^-}^\star\right) \sin\theta_{l^-}^\star\ \cos\phi_{\ell^-}^\star\nonumber\\
&+ \left(\alpha \ p_y + 2\sqrt{\frac{2}{3}} (1-3\delta)
\ T_{yz} \cos\theta_{\ell^-}^\star\right) \sin\theta_{\ell^-}^\star\ \sin\phi_{l^-}^\star\nonumber\\
&+ (1-3\delta) \left(\frac{T_{xx}-T_{yy}}{\sqrt{6}} \right) \sin^2\theta_{\ell^-}^\star
\cos2\phi_{\ell^-}^\star\nonumber\\
&+ \left. \sqrt{\frac{2}{3}}(1-3\delta) \ T_{xy} \ \sin^2\theta_{\ell^-}^\star\
\sin2\phi_{\ell^-}^\star \right] .
\label{eq:angular_distribution}
\end{align}
Here $\theta_{\ell^-}^\star$, $\phi_{\ell^-}^\star$ are the polar and the azimuthal orientation of $\ell^-$ from the spin-$1$ particle in the rest frame of the particle ($Z_d$) with its momentum along the $z$-direction. The quantity $\alpha$ is called analysing power, and it is related to the decay vertex structure of the particle. The quantity $\delta=0$ for massless leptonic decay. The vector polarisations $\vec{p}$ and independent tensor polarisations $T_{ij}$ are calculable from the asymmetries constructed from the decay angular distributions above.

The asymmetries for the polarisations are constructed as follows~\cite{Rahaman:2016pqj}:
\begin{align}
A_i = \frac{\sigma\left( {\cal N}_i > 0 \right) - \sigma\left( {\cal N}_i < 0 \right) }{\sigma\left( {\cal N}_i > 0 \right) + \sigma\left( {\cal N}_i < 0 \right)},
\label{asym_pol}
\end{align}
where $A_i$ and the corresponding observable ${\cal N}_i$ are shown in Table~\ref{asym_obs}.

In addition to these polarization asymmetries, $A_{pol}$, other asymmetries can be defined in lab-frame, $A_{Lab}$, with all possible observable. This study considered $\cos\theta_j$, $\Delta\Phi\left(\nu_e,j \right)$, $\Delta\Phi\left(\nu_e, Z_d\right)$, and $\Delta\Phi\left(j, Z_d \right)$ for {\tt CC} process. Similarly for {\tt NC} process observable with $e^-$ such as $\cos\theta_{e^-}$, $\Delta\Phi\left({e^-},j \right)$, and $\Delta\Phi\left({e^-}, Z_d\right)$ in addition with $\cos\theta_j$, $\Delta\Phi\left(j, Z_d \right)$ are considered. Here $j$ is the scattered jet, and $\Delta\Phi (m,n)$ is the azimuthal-angle difference between ($m,n$). Further, a robust $\chi^2$ analysis is performed to find the limits on $\epsilon (m_{Z_d})$ using these observable and discussed in the next section.

\section{Simulation and observable}
\label{simu}
In order to explore the limits of dark-$Z_d$ we first build a model file for the Lagrangian given in eq.~(\ref{lzdff}) using the package \texttt{FeynRules}~\cite{Alloul:2013bka} and then simulate the $Z_d$ production in {\tt CC}: $p e^- \to \nu_e Z_d j$ and {\tt NC}: $p e^- \to e^- Z_d j$, with $Z_d \to \ell^+\ell^-$ pairs, in the LHeC set up as stated previously. Here we consider $\ell^\pm = e^\pm$ and $\mu^\pm$ only. The representative Feynman diagram for the production of $Z_d$ is shown in Fig.~\ref{feyn}. For the generation of events, we use the Monte Carlo event generator package {\tt {\sc MadGraph5}\_aMC@NLO}~\cite{Alwall:2011uj}. The factorization and normalization scales are set to be dynamic scales for both signal and potential backgrounds. For this study, $e^-$ polarization is assumed to be $-80$\%. The initial requirements on cuts are $p_T^{\ell,j} > 10$~GeV, $|\eta_{\ell,j}| < 5$ and no cuts on missing energy.

We initiate our analysis by estimating the cross-section ($\sigma$) of $Z_d$ production as a function of its mass $m_{Z_d}$, shown in Fig.~\ref{fig:sigma-cc} for three choices of coupling, $g_V=0.0$, $0.4$, and $0.7$. The production cross-section falls as the mass of $Z_d$ increases for both {\tt CC} and {\tt NC} cases due to less available phase space energy. Variation of the cross-section due to the coupling $g_V$ is imperceptible in {\tt NC} case, while it is much prominent in the case of {\tt CC} production. The cross-section decreases from $g_V=0$ and becomes minimum around $g_V=0.7$ and increases till $g_V=1.0$ because of the constraint $g_V^2+g_A^2=1$. Further, the cross-section is smaller in {\tt CC} case than in {\tt NC} case, see Fig.~\ref{fig:sigma-nc}.

Next, in order to optimize the significance of the signal over all the backgrounds we chose the nominal selection cuts of $p_T^j > 20$~GeV, $p_T^\ell > 10$~GeV, $-1 < \eta_j < 5$ and $-1 < \eta_\ell < 3$. The mass dependent cut on invariant-mass distribution of di-leptonic final state (which originate from $Z_d \to \ell^+\ell^- $) $m_{\ell\ell} (m_{Z_d})$ shall be an appropriate observable to distinguish the signal from backgrounds. Note that for our signal, the background from $Z$-boson production is the dominant one, and $m_{\ell\ell} (m_{Z_d})$ cut reduces it significantly. We show the applied cuts for a  range of $Z_d$ mass in Table~\ref{mllcut}. In Fig.~\ref{fig:inv_mass}, the normalized distribution of $m_{\ell\ell}$ is shown for masses 10 to 100~GeV (in the interval of 10~GeV) with the dominant background. The peaks at $m_{Z_d}$ for signals and $m_Z$ for the background clearly show the efficacy of choosing the $m_{\ell\ell}$ cuts.

Angular observables and hence the asymmetries defined in eq.~(\ref{asym_pol}) are also significant in this study. The two angular variables ($\cos\phi_{\ell^-}^\star$, $\cos\theta_{\ell^-}^\star$) for the polarization of $Z_d$ (Fig.~\ref{fig:dist-asymvarpol}) along with two other angular variables independent of the polarization of $Z_d$ are depicted in Fig.~\ref{fig:dist-asymvar} for few benchmark of $m_{Z_d}$ and $g_V=0.4$ in the {\tt CC} process as representative distribution. The asymmetry for the $\cos\phi_{\ell^-}^\star$ becomes more positive as $m_{Z_d}$ increases, although not much change is seen for $\cos\theta_{\ell^-}^\star$. On the other hand, asymmetries for $\cos\theta_j$ and $\cos\Delta\phi(j, Z_d)$ become more negative as $m_{Z_d}$ increases. Asymmetries for these angular variables, thus, possess the potential ability to constrain on $m_{Z_d}$.

\section{Analysis and results}
\label{analysis}
After having a preliminary understanding of cross-sections of signal and backgrounds, its optimization through $m_{\ell\ell}$, and with different potential angular observables, we follow analysis using an efficient $\chi^2$-formula and describe the limits on $\epsilon$ in this section. We use observable comprising the cross-section, eight polarization asymmetries and the lab-frame asymmetries as defined in eq.~(\ref{asym_pol}) to form a total $\chi^2$ and obtain limits on the $\epsilon(m_{Z_d})$ (see eq.~(\ref{lzdff})). The total $\chi^2$ is defined as:
\begin{align}
\chi^2 = \frac{\left( \sigma(g_f) - \sigma \right)^2}{\delta\sigma^2} + \sum_j \frac{\left( A_j (g_f) - A_j \right)^2}{\delta A_j^2}.
\label{chi2}
\end{align}
The errors $\delta\sigma$ and $\delta A_j$ in eq.~(\ref{chi2}) are obtained from the SM backgrounds and given by
\begin{align}
\delta \sigma = \sqrt{\frac{\sigma}{{\cal L}} + \left( \epsilon_\sigma \sigma\right)^2}, \quad
\delta A_j = \sqrt{\frac{1-A_j^2}{{\sigma \cal L }} + \left( \epsilon_{A_j}\right)^2},
\end{align}
which comprised of the integrated luminosity ${\cal L}$ dependent statistical errors in the first term and systematic errors $\epsilon_\sigma (\epsilon_{A_j})$ for the cross-section (asymmetries) in the second term. We have chosen $\epsilon_\sigma=0.02$ and $\epsilon_{A}=1~\%$ as benchmark for our analysis.

\end{figure}

\subsection{Comparing the variables based on $\chi^2$}
In order to compare the strength of various variables, we estimate the $\chi^2$ (eq.~\ref{chi2}) for the cross-section and all the angular variables separately as well as in various combinations in both {\tt CC} and {\tt NC} processes. The $\chi^2$ values for different variables are shown in Fig.~\ref{fig:chi2-mzd-allObs-cut2}  as a function of $m_{Z_d}$ with $g_V=0.4$ for an integrated luminosity of ${\cal L}=1$ ab$^{-1}$. The polarization asymmetries ($A_{pol}$) performs better than cross-section in {\tt CC} process, while it performs poorer in {\tt NC} process after $m_{Z_d}=30$~GeV. The lab frame asymmetries ($A_{Lab}$), however, perform better than both polarization asymmetries and cross-section in both processes. The $\chi^2$ values decreases as $m_{Z_d}$ increases (since the production cross-section decreases with increasing values of $m_{Z_d}$ in both processes) and it shows a dip around $m_{Z_d} \approx 90$~GeV because of $m_{\ell\ell} \approx m_Z$ invariant mass cut from the background.

\subsection{Limits on $\epsilon$ as function of $m_{Z_d}$ and $g_V$}

We obtain two parameter limits on the $\epsilon$-$m_{Z_d}$ and $\epsilon$-$g_V$ plane by fixing the values of $g_V$ and $m_{Z_d}$ respectively. In case of $\epsilon$-$m_{Z_d}$ plane we consider the observable as (a) cross-section, (b) all asymmetries together ($A \equiv \sum_i A_i + A_{pol}+A_{Lab}$), and (c) cross-section along with asymmetries in both {\tt CC} and {\tt NC} processes. The $90\%$ confidence level (C.L.) contours ($\chi^2=4.61$~\cite{Cowan:2010js}) for two parameter in the $\epsilon$-$m_{Z_d}$ plane are shown in Fig.~\ref{fig:limit-eps-mzd-cut2} with $g_V=0.4$ for both {\tt CC} (Fig.~\ref{eps-mzd-cc}) and {\tt NC} (Fig.~\ref{eps-mzd-nc}) processes with an integrated luminosity of ${\cal L}=1$ ab$^{-1}$. We scanned the mass of $Z_d$ in the range of $0.1$ - $100$~GeV for cross-section. For the asymmetries, however, we scanned $m_{Z_d}$ in the range of $10 - 100$~GeV (due to the limitation in event generation). The limits on $\epsilon$ get weaker with increasing $m_{Z_d}$ up to $90$~GeV as expected from the Fig.~\ref{fig:chi2-mzd-allObs-cut2}. The asymmetry observables provide better limits on $\epsilon$ compared to the cross-section for the studied mass range. Also the limits in {\tt NC} process are better compared to {\tt CC} process because of larger cross-sections (see Fig.~\ref{fig:sigma-cc-nc}).

Similarly in Fig.~\ref{fig:limit-eps-gv-cut2}, we show the limits on $\epsilon$ as a function of $g_V$ for fixed $m_{Z_d} = 10$, $30$, $50$, $70$ and $90$~GeV by considering cross-section along with all asymmetries in both {\tt CC} and {\tt NC} processes. Since the cross-section for {\tt CC} process is minimal around $g_V \approx 0.7$ (Fig.~\ref{fig:sigma-cc}), limits on $\epsilon$ get weaker as it approaches to $g_V \approx 0.7$ and get stronger afterwards. Due to the cross-section behaviour seen in Fig.~\ref{fig:sigma-nc} for {\tt NC} process there is almost no fluctuation on $\epsilon$. Since the value of total cross-section decreases as a function of increasing $m_{Z_d}$, the limits on $\epsilon$ also get weaker as $m_{Z_d}$ goes higher in both {\tt CC} and {\tt NC} processes for full range of $g_V$.

\subsection{Analysis in $Z_d\to b\bar{b}$ channel}

At this point, it is prudent to ask if the limits obtained in $Z_d \to \ell^+\ell^-$ decay modes are comparable with $Z_d \to jj$. However, in this decay mode, the polarization observable can not be constructed. So we only consider cross-section and the lab frame asymmetries for  the $Z_d \to b \bar{b}$ decay in both {\tt CC} and {\tt NC} processes. And we repeat the analysis to extract limits on the new physics parameter ($m_{Z_d}$, $\epsilon$, $g_V$) using the $\chi^2$-method (eq.~\ref{chi2}) in this channel.

The corresponding $90\%$ C.L. contours in the $\epsilon$-$m_{Z_d}$ plane are shown in Fig.~\ref{fig:limit-eps-gv-zdbb-cut2} with $g_V=0.4$ for the same integrated luminosity of ${\cal L}=1$~ab$^{-1}$ for both {\tt CC} and {\tt NC} processes. The order of $\epsilon (m_{Z_d})$ remains roughly the same with a little variation of similar nature as in Fig.~\ref{fig:limit-eps-mzd-cut2}. But the limits are much weaker in this channel because of the large $Z\to b\bar{b}$ background compared to the $Z_d\to \ell^-\ell^+$ channel.
\section{Summary and discussions}
\label{summary}
In this article, we consider a vector-portal interaction in which the dark and visible sectors interact through kinetic mixing, leading to a so-called heavy dark photon, $Z_d$. To explore the Lorentz structure and strength of $Z_d$ coupling to fermions we assume a generic structure involving two set of couplings $\epsilon,\, g_V$ (where $g_V^2 + g_A^2 = 1$) and explore the limits for $m_{Z_d} \in [\sim 1-100]$~GeV in LHeC environment. A particular decay mode $Z_d \to \ell^+\ell^-$ has been taken for the study in which an invariant mass $m_{\ell\ell}$ cut significantly able to reduce the dominant background from $Z$-boson. In order to obtain limits on $\epsilon$-$m_{Z_d}$ and $\epsilon$-$g_V$ planes, a $\chi^2$-method is used in which different observable $viz.$ cross-section, polarisation asymmetries, and Lab-frame asymmetries are taken as input. Interestingly the charged-current process shows large variations in cross-section with $g_V$ in comparison to neutral-current process at the LHeC $\sqrt{s} \approx 1.3$~TeV considered in this study. Though the higher cross-section of {\tt NC} channel leads to stronger limits on $\epsilon$ in comparison to {\tt CC} channel.

A summary plot on limits of $\epsilon$-$m_{Z_d}$ at 90\% C.L. is shown in Fig.~\ref{fig:constraints_exp}, where the limits are compared and depicted with existing experiments (for available dark photon mass) from LHCb~\cite{Aaij:2019bvg}, Belle-II~\cite{Kou:2018nap} and  BaBar~\cite{Lees:2014xha}. The limits from CMS~\cite{Sirunyan:2019wqq} are not shown in this plot since it originates beyond $m_{Z_d} > 100$~GeV. For a low mass of order $m_{Z_d}< 10$~GeV, the limits of $\epsilon$ are nearly within the limits of BaBar and LHCb experiments. But for the higher masses $m_{Z_d}>10$~GeV the LHeC with $\sqrt{s}\approx 1.3$~TeV results weaker limits of $\epsilon$-$m_{Z_d}$ in comparison to these experiments.

To summarise our study, we also compared the limits on $\epsilon$-$m_{Z_d}$ plane for $Z_d \to b \bar{b}$ which gives a little weaker limits in comparison to $Z_d \to \ell^+\ell^-$ due to the large background. Interestingly it is noted that in the $\epsilon$-$m_{Z_d}$ plane, the limits get weaker as $m_{Z_d}$ approaches the $Z$-boson mass and get stronger after crossing this mass in all cases. And thus, the SM background due to $Z$-boson plays a very significant role within $m_{Z_d} \approx 100$~GeV.

To our knowledge, this is the first study we carried out in the LHeC environment to obtain limits on the searches of high mass ($> 1$~GeV) dark photon with sensitive observable, where without evading the theoretical constraint on the limit of $\epsilon\lesssim\mathcal{O}(1)$, $m_{Z_d}$ up to $100$~GeV can be explored with $\sqrt{s} \approx 1.3$~TeV energy. By increasing the energy of electron sufficiently in the LHeC, higher masses of $m_{Z_d} > 100$~GeV can be studied, but then the single Higgs-boson (of mass $125$~GeV) production in both charged- and neutral-current will be the dominant SM backgrounds in $Z_d\to b\bar{b}$ decay, and hence appropriate $m_{\ell\ell}$ or $m_{jj}$ cut will help to reduce this background and limits on $\epsilon$-$m_{Z_d}/g_V$ can be obtained accordingly.

www.kurzelow.art.pl was (just as Kinomobil project) a collective action held in "interpersonal" space. This time the main goal was to collect unusual stories about people living in Kurzelow, to write an alternative history of this place, told by the citizens themselves – an unexpected voice from the heart of a small village. For me this project had a specific extra meaning, since the part of my family comes from Kurzelow. I have accomplished the second part of my photographic cycle: "time-space-image"*.
An important part of our project was also the artistic workshop for children belonging to local community. Finally, we created the Internet site of the village (www.kurzelow.art.pl), which is to be administrated by one of the its inhabitants and serve the whole community in the future.
* space-time-image" is a circumstantial constellation of the images-portraits of people living, at a given moment of time, on a specific territory. Important thing about the project is that each participant should get the portrait of his own.
Coming back with the photo-camera in hand
Our next target was the village Kurzelów, situated near Włoszczowa. Organizing our workshops in this particular place, we wanted to get closer to the history, climate and atmosphere of the village, which once was a city – to grasp both the ordinary and the unusual aspects of everyday life of its inhabitants. It is a well known fact that in such environment strangers often provoke interesting processes. The news are spreading faster, so that the stranger will be perceived immediately. But first of all: what stranger? For sure, as a group we were a "foreign body", but when I think about myself, it doesn't seem so simple. It was in Kurzelów, that I spend most of my summer holidays as a child. It is a place where my great-grandparents were living. All that makes me fill confused: a stranger and kind of native at the same time.
To choose Kurzelów as a place for our action, was not a simple decision for me. It is much easier to work in some "unfamiliar" interpersonal sphere, to operate in a place with which one has no bonds and, what's event more important, where one doesn't benefit from the inhabitants' confidence. This coming back with a photo camera in hand was a big challenge for me. I was afraid that I would let down all those people (those that I met for the firs time and those who remembered me from the past). And of course there is always a question of the photo camera, of its physical presence in such situations: technical equipment of all kinds always inserts a sort of a distance, generates suspicion. Taking a portrait supposes a specific, intimate relation between the photographer and the "model", it is a kind of a "confession" based on mutual trust.
When you confront your own intentions, even those very timid, with reality, something unexpected must happen. My experiences from summer 2007 concerning the similar action in Stawno (a village in the North-West of Poland) were completely different. In Stawno there are only 156 inhabitants whereas in the case of Kurzelów we have to do with a sort of "small city" (about 1100 people). Even in my brave dreams I wasn't thinking about taking pictures of all of them, rather I intended to grasp a singular "spirit" of the place.
In Kurzelów you can find different kinds of relations and interactions between people. The population of the village is scattered on a relative big territory, which doesn't facilitate traditional type of rural bonds. Unlike in Stawno it was not easy to encourage people to pose for a portrait, not to mention about inviting them to an isolated studio, where, as in a buffer zone, I could assure a kind of an intimacy. That is way I decided to apply a double strategy: to take pictures either in a previously prepared space (in Culture Center of Kurzelów) or outdoors (of people met by chance on the street, or in the marketplace, or in their privet gardens).
The latter strategy provoked me to take pictures of animals as well. Especially of those belonging to people that I used to know: a cat of the old village administrator (Mr. Pakosz), a lonely goose named "Katie", which, after a tragic death of her partner, circles in an artificial pond, a dog – the most faithful friend of Mr. Ciszowski, or another dog – the oldest one in the whole village – which outlived all of its three owners, and finally a horse, one of the few left in Kurzelów.
My unclear status – "not really a stranger" – very often pulled me away from "taking as much photos as I can". Having met somebody that I knew I started a conversations about the past or current events. This reminiscences and curiosity of the other peoples' stories influenced made my stay in Kurzelów a singular experience. These two weeks, which were supposed to be a time of hard work on the project turned out to be my private lesson in history: history of the village as a whole, but also private histories of people I've met, histories that sometimes unexpectedly crossed with the one of my family. This helped me to fill some gaps in my own story – for which I am very grateful to all people involved…
