Summary Y(1S) invisible search (GeV Dark Matter)  Y(3S) is the best energy for Belle  Br < 2.5 x ( 90% C.L. ) with 2.9 fb -1  Peaking BG suppression is necessary for further improvement (super forward detector etc.)  Sensitivity to be saturated Br ~0.2 x at 500 fb -1 MeV Dark Matter  We can search on usual Y(4S) running  Intelligent Bhabha veto is necessary
