Rare decays mediated by $b \to s \nu \bar \nu$ transitions have been reported by the Belle II experiment. The branching ratio of the decay $B^+ \to K^+ \nu \bar \nu$ is found to be enhanced with respect to the standard model value. If taken…
If physics beyond the Standard Model (BSM) explains the $4.2\sigma$ difference between the Standard-Model and measured muon anomalous magnetic moment, $a_{\mu}$, minimal flavor violation predicts a shift in the analog quantity for the…
We have searched for neutrinoless $\tau$ lepton decays into $\ell$ and $V^0$, where $\ell$ stands for an electron or muon, and $V^0$ for a vector meson ($\phi$, $\omega$, $K^{*0}$, $\bar{K}^{*0}$ or $\rho^0$), using 543 fb$^{-1}$ of data…
The high design luminosity of the SuperKEKB electron-positron collider is expected to result in challenging levels of beam-induced backgrounds in the interaction region. Properly simulating and mitigating these backgrounds is critical to…
We consider light neutralinos of mass about 1 GeV, produced from $\tau$ lepton rare decays at Belle II, in the context of R-parity-violating (RPV) supersymmetry. With large and clean samples of $\tau$ leptons produced at the Belle II…
The CKM angle $\phi_3$ is less precisely known than the angle $\phi_1$ and the only one that is accessible with tree-level decays in a theoretically clean way. The key method to measure $\phi_3$ is through the interference between $B^+\to…
The precise measurement of the CKM angle $\phi_3$ is important to further test the Standard Model description of $CP$ violation. The small values of the branching fractions of the decays involved in the measurement limits the precision,…

The Belle and Belle II experiments have collected an 1.6 ab$^{-1}$ sample of $e^+e^-$ collision data at center-of-mass energies near the $\Upsilon(nS)$ resonances. In particular, the Belle II experiment collected a 19.2 fb$^{-1}$ sample of…

We present an analysis of the charmless semileptonic decay $B^0\to\pi^- \ell^+ \nu_{\ell}$, where $\ell = e, \mu$, from 198.0 million pairs of $B\bar{B}$ mesons recorded by the Belle II detector at the SuperKEKB electron-positron collider.…
Analyses of $B$ meson decays to charmless hadronic final states are an important part of the Belle II program. They are sensitive to effects from non-standard model physics and provide experimentally precise constraints on the weak…
We propose that the $\gamma + E \hspace{-.5em}/\;\:$ signal at the Belle-II will be a smoking gun for supersymmetry (SUSY) in the presence of a gauged $U(1)_{L_{\mu}-L_{\tau}}$ symmetry. A striking consequence of breaking the enhanced…

Semileptonic $b\to c\tau\bar{\nu}_{\tau}$ decays are powerful probes of non-Standard-Model effects within an effective-field-theory (EFT) framework, but fully exploiting them in current and future data demands combinations that maximise…
