abstract

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 paper we consider the experimental upper bounds on these modes and interpret the difference between these bounds and the SM prediction as a window into new light invisible particles. In particular we consider the case where some new symmetry requires the new particles to be produced in pairs. We first construct the general low energy effective Lagrangian coupling an FCNC with two dark sector particles of spin zero, one-half and one. We then present numerical estimates for the constraints that can be placed on these interactions, finding that an effective new physics scale from ${\cal O}(10)$-${\cal O}(10^{11})$ GeV can be probed, with the exact value strongly depending on the interaction structure as well as the mass of the invisible particle. For $K^+\to \pi^+ \displaystyle{\not} E$ we incorporate into our constraints the effect of using only the signal regions of NA62, and for $B^+\to K^+ \displaystyle{\not} E$ the $q^2$-dependent efficiency of Belle II.

  1. Can a Nonstandard Invisible Pair Mimic the Michel Distribution?

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    A massless complex scalar pair with purely left-handed vector coupling exactly reproduces the Michel distribution and its extensions, while all other invisible pairs of spin up to 2 produce distinguishable kinematic s...

  2. Challenging Majorana neutrino effects in $B\to K^{(\ast)}\nu\nu$ and $K\to \pi\nu\nu$ decays

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Belle-II's B→Kνν excess cannot be explained by dimension-7 lepton-number-violating SMEFT operators without fine-tuning neutrino masses, while a light sterile-neutrino extension can, with testable decay spectra.

    MobileEgo Anywhere supplies an open mobile app, 200-hour long-form egocentric dataset, and processing pipeline that enables collection of persistent-state egocentric trajectories on commodity hardware for VLA and foun...

  4. Radiative generation of chiral vector operators in $b\to s \nu\bar{\nu}$ transition

    hep-ph 2026-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Minimal one-loop models that generate both chiral vector operators for b→sνν̄ are systematically classified but cannot quantitatively explain the Belle II anomaly.

  5. $B\to K{+}$invisible, dark matter, and $CP$ violation in hyperon decays

    hep-ph 2025-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In a two-Higgs-doublet plus scalar dark matter model, hyperon decay CP asymmetries can reach parts in a thousand, far above the standard model, while still satisfying kaon and dark matter constraints.

  6. Semi-visible higgs decay as a probe for new invisible particles

    hep-ph 2025-11 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    At the HL-LHC, semi-visible Higgs decays can probe dark-SMEFT couplings to invisible scalars or fermions below 50 GeV, with the best reach for Yukawa-type operators, while invisible Z decays and unitarity constrain de...
