Abstract

In this work we fit the available binned data of the differential decay distribution of the exclusive BK()+B \to K^{(*)} \ell^+ \ell^- and Bsϕμ+μB_s \to \phi \mu^+ \mu^- decays to the mass and mixing parameters of a light dark vector boson model. Due to an incorrect assessment of the dominant contribution of the dark ZZ model to the FCNC B-meson decays, a previous work in literature reported that O(1)\mathcal{O}(1) mixings were allowed by the data. In this talk we report the correct calculations and constraints on the mixing parameters as well as the mass of the dark vector boson using the marginalization technique. We also study other relevant bounds on the parameter space from low energy experiments such as the atomic parity violation, K+μ++invisibleK^+ \to \mu^+ + invisible decay, BsBsB_s - \overline{B}_s mixing etc and find that inspite of obtaining a good fit to the experimental bs+b \to s \ell^+ \ell^- data, the entire parameter space gets ruled out from some of the above bounds. In case of a model with tiny mixing and additional interaction of the dark ZZ to the muon, some bounds are relaxed while some others are violated.
