abstract

Recently, Belle II reported on the first measurement of $\mathcal{B}(B^\pm\to K^\pm \nu\bar{\nu})$ which appears to be almost $3\sigma$ larger than predicted in the Standard Model. We point out the important correlation with $\mathcal{B}(B\to K^{\ast} \nu\bar{\nu})$ so that the measurement of that decay mode could help restraining the possible options for building the model of New Physics. We then try to interpret this new experimental result in terms of physics beyond the Standard Model by using SMEFT and find that a scenario with coupling only to $\tau$ can accommodate the current experimental constraints but fails in getting a desired $R_{D^{(\ast )}}^\mathrm{exp}/R_{D^{(\ast )}}^\mathrm{SM}$, unless one turns the other SMEFT operators that are not related to $b\to s\ell\ell$ or/and $b\to s\nu\nu$.

  1. Search for the $\boldsymbol{B^0 \to K^0_{\rm S} \tau^+ \tau^-}$ decay

    hep-ex 2026-07 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    No evidence is found for B0→K0Sτ+τ−; the first upper limit, B<8.3×10^-4 at 90% CL, is set, and the isospin-combined B→Kτ+τ− limit becomes 5.4×10^-4.

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

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    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.

  3. A Dispersive Look at Rare $B$-meson Semileptonic Decays

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Lattice-only Dispersive Matrix form factors enlarge large-recoil uncertainties and, with new angular data, favour long-distance hadronic effects over a short-distance C9 New Physics shift.

  4. Radiative generation of chiral vector operators in $b\to s \nu\bar{\nu}$ transition

    hep-ph 2026-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Minimal one-loop models that generate both chiral vector operators for b→sνν̄ are systematically classified but cannot quantitatively explain the Belle II anomaly.

  5. Gauged $\tau$-lepton chiral currents and $B \to K^{(*)} E_{\rm miss}$

    hep-ph 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Gauging chiral tau lepton number with a light X boson of mass about 2.1 GeV explains the Belle II B to K missing-energy excess and survives existing bounds.

  6. New Strategies for New Physics Search with $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda \nu \bar\nu$ Decays

    hep-ph 2025-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    For longitudinally polarized Lambda_b at future Z-pole machines, Lambda_b -> Lambda nu nubar has a forward-backward asymmetry that is independent of new physics at its zero crossing and complements the branching ratio...

  7. Are the new particles heavy or light in $b \to s E_{\mathrm{miss}}$?

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The K* longitudinal polarization fraction separates heavy NP, light vector, and ALP explanations of the Belle-II B+ to K+ missing-energy excess, while the Lambda_b to Lambda polarization tags operator chirality.

  8. Flavor Violations in $B$-Mesons within Non-Minimal SU(5)

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A non-minimal SU(5) model with R2 leptoquark and S6 diquark is fitted to B-decay anomalies in b→cτν, B→Kπ, and B→Kνν, but the benchmark B→Kνν rate rises only about 3.5% above the Standard Model.

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In Z' models with suppressed B_s mixing, SU(2)L and SMEFT RG correlations tie the B_s, D, and K sectors together and predict B to K(K*) nu nu enhancements of up to 20% when b to s mu mu rates are suppressed.

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    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.
