We search for the flavor-changing neutral-current decays B->K(*)nu nubar, and the invisible decays J/psi->nu nubar and psi(2S)->nu nubar via B->K(*)J/psi and B->K(*)psi(2S) respectively, using a data sample of 471 x10^6 BB pairs collected by the BaBar experiment. We fully reconstruct the hadronic decay of one of the B mesons in the Upsilon(4S)->BB decay, and search for the B->K(*)nu nubar decay in the rest of the event. We observe no significant excess of signal decays over background and report branching fraction upper limits of BR(B+->K+nu nubar)<3.7 x10^-5, BR(B0->K0nu nubar)< 8.1 x10^-5, BR(B+->K*+nu nubar)<11.6 x10^-5, BR(B0->K*0nu nubar)<9.3 x10^-5, and combined upper limits of BR(B->Knu nubar)<3.2 x10^-5 and BR(B->K*nu nubar)<7.9 x10^-5, all at the 90% confidence level. For the invisible quarkonium decays, we report branching fraction upper limits of BR(J/psi->nu nubar)<3.9 x10^-3 and BR(psi(2S)->nu nubar)<15.5 x10^-3 at the 90% confidence level. Using the improved kinematic resolution achieved from hadronic reconstruction, we also provide partial branching fraction limits for the B->K(*)nu nubar decays over the full kinematic spectrum.

Constraining ALP-Top Interaction from the Chromoelectric Dipole Moment of the Top Quark
The paper derives the one- and two-loop top quark CEDM induced by a CP-violating ALP at q^2 = m_t^2 and uses it to set new bounds on the ALP-top coupling, with the neutron EDM giving the strongest of the three new limits.

$B\to K{+}$invisible, dark matter, and $CP$ violation in hyperon decays
In a two-Higgs-doublet plus scalar dark matter model, hyperon decay CP asymmetries can reach parts in a thousand, far above the standard model, while still satisfying kaon and dark matter constraints.

New Strategies for New Physics Search with $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda \nu \bar\nu$ Decays
For longitudinally polarized Lambda_b at future Z-pole machines, Lambda_b -> Lambda nu nubar has a forward-backward asymmetry that is independent of new physics at its zero crossing and complements the branching ratio...

Are the new particles heavy or light in $b \to s E_{\mathrm{miss}}$?
The K* longitudinal polarization fraction separates heavy NP, light vector, and ALP explanations of the Belle-II B+ to K+ missing-energy excess, while the Lambda_b to Lambda polarization tags operator chirality.

In Z' models with suppressed B_s mixing, SU(2)L and SMEFT RG correlations tie the B_s, D, and K sectors together and predict B to K(K*) nu nu enhancements of up to 20% when b to s mu mu rates are suppressed.

Invisible decays of vector Charmonia and Bottomonia to determine the Weak Mixing Angle at quarkonia scale
The invisible branching fractions of J/psi, psi(2S), and Upsilon(nS) to neutrino pairs are predicted at the 10^-8 to 10^-5 level, offering a way to measure the weak mixing angle at quarkonia mass scales.
