Abstract

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 particle in rare BB decays; for a di-tau resonance in four-muon final states, and the update on the search for a \zprime\ boson decaying invisibly. We also look for lepton flavor violation by searching for τα\tau\rightarrow\ell \alpha decays, with α\alpha a new invisible boson, and we report the first untagged reconstruction of τ\tau pairs events searching for the neutrinoless decays τϕ\tau \to \ell \phi. Finally, we present the world's most precise measurement of the τ\tau lepton mass. These studies are performed on samples from the data collected by the Belle II detector during 2019-2021 data taking.
