Belle II recently reported the first measurement of $B^+\to K^++\mathrm{inv}$, which is $2.8\sigma$ above the Standard Model prediction. We explore the available parameter space of new physics within Standard Model effective field theory extended by sterile neutrinos ($\nu$SMEFT) and provide predictions for the other $B\to K^{(\star)}+\mathrm{inv}$ decay modes and invisible $B_s$ decays. We also briefly comment on charged current decays $B\to D^{(\star)}\ell\bar\nu$ and possible ultraviolet completions of the relevant $\nu$SMEFT operators.

  1. 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

    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.

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

    hep-ph 2026-01 conditional novelty 6.0

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

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.
