Search for Feebly Interacting Particles in B Decays with Missing Energy at Belle
None:
We present a search for an invisible hidden-sector particle X_{inv}, produced in B^{0}→D[over ¯]^{0}X_{inv} and B^{±}→hX_{inv} decays, where h=π^{±}, K^{±}, D_{s}^{±}, p^{±}. The search is performed using e^{+}e^{-} collision data recorded with the Belle detector, corresponding to 711 fb^{-1}. No significant signal is observed. We set 90% confidence level upper limits ranging between 10^{-4} and 10^{-6} on the branching fraction B(B→hX_{inv}) as a function of m_{X_{inv}}. Corresponding limits are set on B(B→hX)×B(X→γγ) for lifetimes cτ_{X} between 10 μm and 10 m. Many of these limits are the first direct constraints on their respective decays. Our results provide the most stringent exclusion limits to date on the branching fractions for all search channels, and exclude previously unexplored regions of parameter space relevant to several new physics models.
