The Belle II Collaboration reported the first measurement on ${\rm Br}(B^+\rightarrow K^+\nu\bar{\nu})$, which lies 2.7$\sigma$ away from the Standard Model expectation. This result may be manifestation of new physics beyond the Standard Model. In present work, motivated by the Belle II measurement, we investigate the effect of a dark photon/dark $Z$ on the rare $B$ meson decay $B^+\rightarrow K^+\nu\bar{\nu}$ and show that the ${\rm Br}(B^+\rightarrow K^+\nu\bar{\nu})$ excess from Belle II over the Standard Model expectation explained by the appearance of the dark $Z$ especially in resonances. We also derive constraints on various parameters of the two-Higgs-doublet model extended with a dark Abelian gauge group, in light of the measurement of the ${\rm Br}(B^+\rightarrow K^+\nu\bar{\nu})$ by the Belle-II Collaboration as well as the upper bound on ${\rm Br}(B^0\rightarrow K^{*0}\nu\bar{\nu})$ decay, set by the Belle data. Our results indicate that there exists a common region where both experimental results are satisfied for a dark $Z$ mass around 4.5 GeV with suitable values of the other parameters.

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

    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. Belle II Constraints on the Non-Minimal Universal Extra Dimensional Model

    hep-ph 2025-09 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Belle II data on the rare B decay constrains the non-minimal UED model to require the inverse compactification radius to be at least ~900 GeV, while the minimal version yields no bound.

  4. 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.

  5. Probing Signatures of Right-Handed Neutrinos via $b \to s \nu \bar\nu$ Decays

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Model-independent constraints on dimension-six vector operators with right-handed neutrinos from Belle II B to K nu nubar data, predicting enhanced rates in related decays and sensitivity via K* polarization.
