Recently, the Belle II Collaboration reported the branching fraction $\mathcal{B}(B^+ \to K^+ \nu \bar{\nu})=(2.3\pm0.7)\times10^{-5}$ with a significance of $3.5\sigma$, which is $2.7\sigma$ above the SM expectation. Motivated by this measurement, we calculate this decay channel at the NLO and twist-3 level using the PQCD approach. By combining the lattice QCD data and our results, we obtain form factors with improved accuracy. Using these form factors, we precisely estimate the branching ratios of $B^+ \to K^+$ semileptonic FCNC decays, including $B^+ \to K^+\nu\bar\nu$ and $B^+ \to K^+\ell^+\ell^-$. To explain the anomalies in these two processes, we introduce a leptoquark model as a new physics scenario. Using five possible types of leptoquarks, we successfully explain the latest experimental measurements, and further constraints on the leptoquarks are derived.

  1. 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.

  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. Semileptonic neutral current decays of $\Xi_b$ with dileptons or dineutrinos in the final state

    hep-ph 2025-12 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Perturbative QCD calculations find that branching fractions for Ξ_b to Ξ lepton-pair decays lie within LHCb reach and that angular observables plus a specific ratio can constrain Wilson coefficients and extract |V_td/...

  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.
