We consider several extensions of the Standard Model (SM) which can explain the anomalies observed by the Atomki collaboration in the decay of excited states of Beryllium via a new boson with a mass around 17 MeV yielding $e^+e^-$ pairs. We show how both spin-0 and 1 solutions are possible and describe the Beyond the SM (BSM) scenarios that can accommodate these. They include BSM frameworks with either an enlarged Higgs, or gauge sector, or both.

Testing the hypothesis of vector X17 boson by D meson, Charmonium, and $\phi$ meson decays
Fitting independent quark couplings of the X17 boson to D, psi(2S), and phi decay data yields |ε_c| = 7.6×10^{-3}, |ε_s| = 2.4×10^{-3}, a huge |ε_u| in tension with ATOMKI, and a predicted range for the D^{*+} → D^{+}...
