In a supersymmetry scenario with R-parity violation (RPV), neutralinos with GeV-scale mass, which are necessarily bino-like, are allowed by all constraints and can be produced in association with a baryon in $B$-meson decays via certain…
Large numbers of $\tau$ leptons are produced at Belle II. These could potentially decay into sterile neutrinos that, for the mass range under consideration, are typically long-lived, leading to displaced-vertex signatures. Here, we study a…
In R-parity-violating (RPV) supersymmetric models, light neutralinos with masses from the GeV-scale down to even zero are still allowed by all laboratory constraints. They are further consistent with dark matter observations, as they decay…
We study light neutralinos ($\tilde \chi_1^0$) with masses ranging from 10 GeV to several hundred GeV within the framework of R-parity-violating (RPV) supersymmetry. These light neutralinos can be long-lived, decaying with a macroscopic…
We propose a search for $B$ meson decays to a baryon plus missing energy at the Belle II experiment to probe supersymmetry with a GeV-scale lightest neutralino ${\tilde{\chi}_1^0}$ and $R$-parity violation (RPV). We perform analytic…
Axionlike particles (ALPs) can be produced in meson decays via tree-level quark-flavor-violating couplings, and decay to a pair of sterile neutrinos if also coupled to them. Such light sterile neutrinos are necessarily long-lived and may…
In this work, we study the lepton number violating tau decays via two intermediate on-shell Majorana neutrinos $N_j$ into two charged pions, and a charged lepton $\tau^{\pm} \to \pi^{\pm} N_j \to \pi^{\pm} \pi^{\pm} \ell^{\mp}$. We consider…
We study the expected sensitivity at Belle and Belle II for four-body $\tau^\mp \to X^\pm l^\mp l^\mp \nu_{\tau}$ decays where $l=e$ or $\mu$ and $X=\pi$, $K$, $\rho$ and $K^*$ mesons. These decay processes violate the total lepton number…
We study a bino-like light neutralino ($\tilde \chi_1^0$) produced at the LHC from the decay of a scalar lepton ($\tilde e_L$) through the process $pp\to \tilde e_{L} \to e\tilde \chi_1^0$ in the context of R-parity-violating (RPV)…
In this article we study the rare B-meson decay via two on-shell almost-degenerate Majorana Heavy Neutrinos, into two charged leptons and two pseudoscalar mesons ($B^{\pm} \to D^0 \ell^{\pm}_1 \ell^{\pm}_2 \pi^{\mp}$). We consider the…
The Belle II experiment is a substantial upgrade of the Belle detector and will operate at the SuperKEKB energy-asymmetric $e^+e^-$ collider. The design luminosity of the machine is 8$\times10^{35}$ cm$^{-2}$s$^{-1}$ and the Belle II…
The possibility of a dark sector weakly coupling to Standard Model (SM) particles through new light mediators is explored at the Belle II experiment. We present here results from three different searches, for a long-lived (pseudo)scalar…
The Monte Carlo for lepton pair production andtau decays consist of KKMC for lepton pair production, tauola for tau lepton decays and photos for radiative corrections in decays. An effort for adaptation of the system for precision data…
Belle II has a broad $\tau$ physics program, in particular in searches for lepton flavour and lepton number violations. Belle II profits from the relatively large $\tau$-pair production rate in the low background environment of $e^+e^-$…
$L_\mu -L_\tau$ gauge boson ($Z'$) with a mass in the MeV to GeV region can resolve not only the muon $g-2$ excess, but also the gap in the high-energy cosmic neutrino spectrum at IceCube. It was recently proposed that such a light gauge…
Belle II is an experiment operating at the intensity frontier. Over the next decades, it will record the decay of billions of bottom mesons, charm hadrons, and tau leptons produced in 10 GeV electron-positron collisions at the SuperKEKB…
With a design luminosity of 50 ab$^{-1}$ and detectors with tracking capabilities extending beyond 1 m, the Belle II experiment is the perfect laboratory for the search of particles that couple weakly to the Standard Model and have a…
Future lepton colliders such as the CEPC and FCC-ee would run as high-luminosity $Z-$boson factories, which offer a unique opportunity to study long-lived particles which couple to Z-bosons. In order to exemplify this particular advantage,…
Light neutralinos could be copiously produced from the decays of mesons generated in cosmic-ray air showers. These neutralinos can be long-lived particles in the context of R-parity violating (RPV) supersymmetric models, implying that they…
We consider the lepton number violating decays $B \to \mu^{\pm} \mu^{\pm} \pi^{\mp}$ and $B \to D^{(*)} \mu^{\pm} \mu^{\pm} \pi^{\mp}$ which may be detected at LHCb and Belle-II experiments; and $B \to \mu^{\pm} \mu^{\pm} e^{\mp} \nu$ and…
