abstract
The Belle II experiment will measure the rare decays $B\to K\nu\nu$ and $B\to K^* \nu\nu$ with increased sensitivity which can hence be expected to serve as a very efficient probe of new physics. We calculate the relevant branching ratios in low-energy effective field theory (LEFT) including an arbitrary number of massive sterile neutrinos and discuss the expected sensitivity to the different operators. We also take into account the longitudinal polarisation fraction $F_L$ and the inclusive decay rate $B\to X_s\nu\nu$. In our investigation we consider new physics dominantly contributing to one and two operators both for massless and massive (sterile) neutrinos. Our results show a powerful interplay of the exclusive decay rates $B\to K\nu\nu$ and $B\to K^*\nu\nu$, and a surprisingly large sensitivity of the inclusive decay mode to vector operators even under conservative assumptions about its uncertainty. Furthermore, the sensitivity of $F_L$ is competitive with the branching ratio of $B\to K^* \nu\nu$ in the search for new physics contributing to scalar operators and thus also complementary to $B\to K\nu\nu$ and $B\to X_s\nu\nu$.

Neutrinoless Double-Beta Decays from Operator Mixing
Renormalization-group mixing lets heavy-quark dimension-seven operators feed neutrinoless double-beta decay, giving some of the strongest current bounds on these new-physics operators.

Radiative generation of chiral vector operators in $b\to s \nu\bar{\nu}$ transition
Minimal one-loop models that generate both chiral vector operators for b→sνν̄ are systematically classified but cannot quantitatively explain the Belle II anomaly.

Feasibility Study of Lepton Number Violation in Rare $B$ and $K$ Meson Decays
Dimension-7 lepton-number-violating operators can make B→Kνν and K→πνν observable only in flavor-hierarchical scenarios (first lepton generation decoupled) or with a cutoff near 100-200 GeV; otherwise baryon washout a...

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.
