The surprising excess of missing-energy events far beyond all standard-model expectations in the weak decays of the charged ground-state $B^+$ meson into some charged strange meson, rather recently observed by the Belle-II experiment, may…
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…
Within the hypothesis of the dark-matter origin of the excess in $B\to K M_X$ decays over the standard-model expectation, observed by Belle-II, we show that: (i) Scalar- and vector-medator scenarios may be unambiguously discriminated by…
We consider decays of $B$ and $K$ mesons into a pseudo-scalar or vector meson plus missing energy. Within the SM, these modes originate from flavor changing neutral current (FCNC) processes with two neutrinos in the final state. In this…
We present two models of dark matter (DM) that can provide a natural explanation of the excess of $B^+\to K^+ +\,\text{invisible}$ events with respect to the Standard Model (SM) prediction for $B^+\to K^+ \nu\bar\nu$, which has been…
Dedicated underground experiments searching for dark matter have little sensitivity to GeV and sub-GeV masses of dark matter particles. We show that the decay of B mesons to K(K^*) and missing energy in the final state can be an efficient…
The Belle II collaboration has recently observed the rare decay $B^+\to K^+ \nu \bar{\nu}$, finding an excess with respect to the Standard Model prediction. We explore the possibility that the data entails long-distance interactions induced…
The Belle II Collaboration reported the first measurement on ${\rm Br}(B^+\rightarrow K^+\nu\bar{\nu})$, which lies 2.7$\sigma$ away from the Standard Model expectation. This result may be manifestation of new physics beyond the Standard…
Belle II has reported the first evidence for $B^+ \to K^+\nu\bar\nu$ with a branching ratio $2.7 \sigma$ higher than the standard model expectation. We explain this, and the MiniBooNE and muon anomalous magnetic moment anomalies in a model…
In the minimal $U(1)$ extension of the Standard Model (SM), a new gauge boson referred to as "dark photon" is predicted. The dark-photon mass can be generated from an additional Higgs mechanism associated with a dark scalar boson. At…
Recently, Belle II reported the observation of the decay $B\to K M_X$, $M_X$ the missing mass, with the branching ratio much exceeding ${\cal B}(B\to K \nu\bar\nu)$ which is the only Standard Model (SM) process contributing to this…
We report on recent results obtained by the Belle II experiment related to searches for beyond-the-standard-model physics. The $B$ meson decay data sample used corresponds to an integrated luminosity of $L = 189$ fb$^{-1}$. In recent years,…
There are presently several discrepancies in $b \to s \ell^+ \ell^-$ decays of $B$ mesons suggesting new physics coupling to $b$ quarks and leptons. We show that a $Z'$, with couplings to quarks and muons that can explain the $B$-decay…
The observed deviations from the Standard Model in several b -> s mu mu processes can be explained in terms of a new vector boson produced on-shell in B meson decays. A mass of 2.5-3 GeV and a total width of 10-20% allow to hide the…
The Belle II experiment aims to record 50 ab$^{-1}$ data with the high luminosity to be provided by the SuperKEKB asymmetric-energy electron-positron collider. The anticipated high statistics data enables us to perform studies of $B$ decays…
We elucidate the recently observed discrepancy in the branching ratio of $B^{+}\rightarrow K^{+}$ +inv decay mode using a GeV scale scalar dark matter in an anomaly-free $U(1)_{B-L}$ gauge extension of the Standard Model. We constrain the…
Recently the Belle II Collaboration has reported a measurement of the $B^+\to K^+\nu\bar\nu$ rate that is higher than the standard-model expectation. Since the emitted neutrinos are unobserved, the excess could be due to the $B^+$ decaying…
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…
Belle~II has unique sensitivity for a broad class of models postulating the existence of dark matter particles with masses in the MeV--GeV range. We present recent world-leading results from Belle~II searches for several non-SM particles.…
We show that the existence of new, light gauge interactions coupled to Standard Model (SM) neutrinos give rise to an abundance of sterile neutrinos through the sterile neutrinos' mixing with the SM. Specifically, in the mass range of…
