We investigate the bounds on axionlike states from flavor-changing neutral current b->s decays, assuming the axion couples to the standard model through mixing with the Higgs sector. Such GeV-scale axions have received renewed attention in connection with observed cosmic ray excesses. We find that existing B->K l+ l- data impose stringent bounds on the axion decay constant in the multi-TeV range, relevant for constraining the "axion portal" model of dark matter. Such bounds also constrain light Higgs scenarios in the next-to-minimal supersymmetric standard model. These bounds can be improved by dedicated searches in B-factory data and at LHCb.

The Majoron at two loops
The complete leading-order two-loop Majoron couplings to all Standard Model gauge bosons and to flavor-changing quarks are derived, and they change the expected photon coupling and rare-decay rates compared with earli...

$B\rightarrow K + \text{axion-like particles}$: effective versus UV-complete models and enhanced two-loop contributions
In the DFSZ axion model, the b to s a transition receives an unsuppressed two-loop contribution proportional to the scalar coupling lambda, which becomes important for tan beta above about 5.

Probing ALP couplings to electroweak gauge bosons
Rare two-body meson decays give the strongest current bounds on the ALP-W coupling for light ALPs, with Z-boson decays and future lepton colliders extending the reach to heavier masses.
