We investigate the possibility whether the tensions with SM expectations observed in several b -> sll transitions, including hints for lepton flavour non-universality, could be due to the decay of B into a new light resonance. We find that qualitative agreement with the data can be obtained with a light vector resonance dominantly decaying invisibly. This scenario predicts a shift in the muon anomalous magnetic moment that could explain the long-standing discrepancy. The most stringent constraint comes from searches for B decays with missing energy. A striking prediction is a strong q^2 dependence of the lepton flavour universality ratios R_K and R_K* that should allow to clearly confirm or rule out this possibility experimentally. We also comment on the possible connection of the invisible decay product with Dark Matter.

Constraints on Dark Photon and Dark $Z$ Model Parameters in the $B$ and $K$ Meson Decays
Only a fine-tuned dark Z model with cancelled electron couplings survives the combined constraints, but its muon g-2 contribution is orders of magnitude too large.

Searching for neutral state in the rare decay $J/\psi \rightarrow e^+ e^- \phi$
Dark photon and dark Z contributions to J/ψ → e+e−φ are far below the experimental limit, making the channel insensitive to these mediators.
