abstract
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 probe of dark matter models in this mass range. We analyze the minimal scalar dark matter model to show that the width of the decay mode with two dark matter scalars B\to KSS may exceed the decay width in the Standard Model channel, B\to K\nu\bar\nu, by up to two orders of magnitude. Existing data from B physics experiments almost entirely exclude dark matter scalars with masses less than 1 GeV. Expected data from B factories will probe the range of dark matter masses up to 2 GeV.

In a vector dark matter extension of the Higgs portal, far detectors at colliders can probe otherwise inaccessible parameter space and set novel bounds on the reheating temperature.
Monte Carlo studies show BESIII data already reaches previously unexplored regions of the dark axion portal via J/ψ → a γ' decays, with STCF projected to improve sensitivity by about an order of magnitude.
With 6×10^{12} Z bosons at FCC-ee, invisible B-meson branching fractions above 7.6×10^{-9} could be excluded at 90% CL using rectangular cuts and a multiclass BDT on simulated signal and background.
Review surveying limits and prospects for flavor-violating decays of light axion-like particles, highlighting complementarity of lab, astro, and cosmo probes up to 10^12 GeV scales.
