Gauged τ-lepton chiral currents and B to K^((*)) E_(rm miss)
read the original abstract
We consider a class of theories with a $U(1)_X$ gauge symmetry associated with leptonic chiral currents. The low-energy effective field theory includes a light spin-$1$ boson coupled to the electroweak gauge sector via a Wess-Zumino term, which ensures anomaly cancellation in the infrared. As a concrete application, we show that a light vector boson with mass $m_X \simeq 2.1\,\text{GeV}$, coupled to a $\tau$-lepton chiral current, can readily account for the recent $3\sigma$ excess observed in $B \to K^{(*)} E_{\rm miss}$ at Belle II, while remaining consistent with existing constraints from $Z \to \gamma E_{\rm miss}$ and direct searches for anomalon fields responsible for anomaly cancellation in the ultraviolet. After classifying phenomenologically viable models, we explore in greater detail two concrete realizations which give rise to distinctive phenomenological signatures, potentially accessible at future experiments at the high-energy and intensity frontiers.

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

A framework for missing-energy searches with anomalous light vectors
For light U(1)X vectors coupled to anomaly-sensitive currents, Wess-Zumino coefficients are fixed by anomaly matching, which lets all missing-energy searches (K, B, D, Z) be mapped onto one (m_X,g_X) plane with minima...

A Unified Dark Matter Explanation for $\boldsymbol{B^+ \!\to K^+\nu\bar{\nu}}$ and the Super-Kamiokande Antineutrino Excess
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.

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

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