An excess in the branching fraction for B+→K+νν recently measured at Belle II may be a hint of new physics. We perform thorough likelihood analyses for different new physics scenarios such as B→KX with a new invisible particle X, or B→Kχχ through a scalar, vector, or tensor current with χ being a new invisible particle or a neutrino. We find that vector-current three-body decay with mX≃0.6 GeV—which may be dark matter—is most favored, while two-body decay with mX≃2 GeV is also competitive. The best-fit branching fractions for the scalar and tensor cases are a few times larger than for the two-body and vector cases. Past measurements provide further discrimination, although the best-fit parameters stay similar. Published by the American Physical Society 2024

The first observation of $$\mathcal {B}\left( B^+\rightarrow K^+\nu \nu \right) $$ B B + → K + ν ν by the Belle II experiment lies almost $$3\sigma $$ 3 σ away from the Standard Model expectation. In this letter we study this result in the SMEFT, extended by a light right-handed neutrino. We explore the correlations between the measured decay rate and other observables, such as $$\mathcal {B}\left( B\rightarrow K^*\nu \nu \right) $$ B B → K ∗ ν ν and $$F_L\left( B\rightarrow K^*\nu \nu \right) $$ F L B → K ∗ ν ν , showing that they could disentangle among scenarios involving left-handed neutrinos and those with the right-handed ones. Furthermore, we find that the high-$$p_T$$ p T tails of Drell–Yan processes studied at LHC provide important constraints that help us exclude some of the scenarios consistent with the Belle II result.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
