In this letter we point out that the Belle II experiment has a unique sensitivity to visibly decaying long-lived dark photons. Concentrating on the signatures with a single high energy photon in association with a displaced pair of charged particles, we find that Belle II will be able to probe large regions of parameter space that cannot be covered by any other running or proposed experimental facility. While the signature with charged muons or pions in the final state is expected to be background-free after all selections are applied, the case of final state electrons is more involved and requires an in-depth study. We discuss possible ways to further suppress backgrounds and the corresponding experimental prospects.

  1. Dark Higgs-strahlung at Belle II: A distinctive dark sector signature with displaced vertices and missing energy

    hep-ph 2025-08 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Dark Higgs-strahlung, with or without an initial-state photon, gives a displaced-vertex plus missing-energy signature that could make Belle II more sensitive to dark photon models than single-photon searches alone.

  2. The $B^+ \to K^+ \nu \bar \nu$ decay as a QCD axion search: comparing reinterpretation approaches

    hep-ph 2026-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Fine-grained binning in reconstructed di-neutrino mass q2_rec resolves narrow axion signals better than coarse binning or BDT axes, explaining the sensitivity gap and making the q2-based bound conservative.

  3. Real-time graph neural networks on FPGAs for the Belle II electromagnetic calorimeter

    physics.ins-det 2026-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A GNN-based calorimeter clustering and signal classifier ran on an FPGA inside the Belle II L1 trigger readout path, improving position resolution and photon separation at the cost of exceeding the trigger decision latency.

  4. $Z^\prime$ Portal Dark Matter with Observable $\Delta N_{\rm eff}$

    hep-ph 2026-07 accept novelty 5.5 of 10

    Dirac right-handed neutrinos in a U(1)_{B-L} Z' portal model produce observable ΔN_eff that, together with direct/indirect detection and collider bounds, carves out testable WIMP and FIMP dark-matter regions.

  5. Reviving $Z^\prime$ Portal Dark Matter with Conversion Mechanism

    hep-ph 2025-12 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    In a U(1)_{B-L} Z' portal model with two nearly degenerate dark fermions, the conversion mechanism can produce the observed dark matter relic density while evading current collider and direct-detection constraints.
