We demonstrate that the scalar-mediator dark-matter scenario is consistent with the experimental data on the decay $B\to K M_X$ and provides a good description of the shape of the observed excess. Within this scenario, the interaction with dark-matter particles leads to approximately the same excess in $\Gamma(B\to K^* M_X)$ and $\Gamma(B\to K M_X)$ compared to the Standard Model; also the differential distributions of the excess events are similar in shape in the variable $q_\mathrm{rec}^2$ measured by experiment.

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0

    A UV-complete complex scalar DM model under gauged U(1)Lμ−Lτ accommodates the SK antineutrino excess, the Belle II B+→K+νν̄ excess, and the DM relic density with one light dark sector.

  2. Dark Matter emission at Belle II and NA62 in Minimal Flavor Violation framework

    hep-ph 2026-01 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    A single nearly degenerate dark matter multiplet in the MFV framework can accommodate either the K+ to pi+ nu nubar or B+ to K+ nu nubar excess but not both simultaneously.

  3. Probing vector- vs scalar-mediator dark-matter scenarios in $B\to (K,K^*) M_X$ decays

    hep-ph 2025-07 accept novelty 5.0

    Scalar and vector dark-matter mediator scenarios in B decays are distinguishable via differential distributions, with data imposing M_V ≲ 3 GeV for vectors but no mass bound for scalars.

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    SMEFT global fit to b→s anomalies with complex Wilson coefficients shows left-handed four-fermion operators preferred and demonstrates that U(3)^5 or U(2)^5 flavor symmetry restores consistency with kaon data.

  5. Analysis of $B\to KM_X$ and $B\to K^* M_X$ decays in scalar- and vector-mediator dark-matter scenarios

    hep-ph 2025-08 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Belle-II excess in B to K/K* + missing energy is explained by dark matter fermion pair production via scalar or vector mediator, with discrimination possible through decay rate inspections.
