Abstract

We discuss the modes BK()ννˉB\to K^{(*)}\nu\bar\nu in the context of non-standard neutrino interactions that add incoherently to the SM rates. We consider two scenarios: an additional light neutrino; and neutrino lepton flavour violation. We find that an additional light neutrino that interacts with SM fields via a non-universal ZZ^\prime can increase RK()νR^\nu_{K^{(*)}} by up to a factor of two without conflicting with BsBˉsB_s-\bar B_s mixing. This model then predicts rates for Bsτ+τB_s\to \tau^+\tau^- up to six times larger than the SM. In the context of neutrino lepton flavour violation mediated by leptoquarks we find that the current experimental upper bounds on RK()νR^\nu_{K^{(*)}} are already more constraining than direct bounds from BsτB_s\to \tau \ell and BK()τB\to K^{(*)}\tau \ell modes for =e,μ\ell=e,\mu.
