Abstract

In 2023, Belle II collaboration announced the observarion of the B+K+ννˉB^+ \to K^+ \nu\bar{\nu} decay channel for the first time. This decay channel provides a clean signal with high precision in theoretical calculation. However, we encounter 2.8σ2.8\sigma deviation from the Standard Model (SM) prediction. To resolve this excess, we study scalar dark matter (DM) model with local discrete Z3Z_3 symmetry. Assuming dark U(1)XU(1)LμLτU(1)_X \equiv U(1)_{L_\mu - L_\tau} symmetry, this U(1)LμLτU(1)_{L_\mu - L_\tau} symmetry is spontaneously broken into local discrete Z3Z_3 by non-zero vacuum expectation value of dark Higgs boson. Considering dark Higgs mass is 22GeV, we can explain the recent Br(B+K+ννˉ){\rm Br} (B^+ \to K^+ \nu\bar{\nu}) excess reported from Belle II collaboration and relic abundance at the same time.
