Title: Search for an Invisibly Decaying Z Boson at Belle II in e + e μ + μ ( e ± μ ) Plus Missing Energy Final States

Abstract

Theories beyond the standard model often predict the existence of an additional neutral boson, the Z0. Using data collected by the Belle II experiment during 2018 at the SuperKEKB collider, we perform the first searches for the invisible decay of a Z0 in the process eþe- → μþμ-Z0 and of a lepton-flavor-violating Z0 in eþe- → eμ∓Z0. We do not find any excess of events and set 90% credibility level upper limits on the cross sections of these processes. We translate the former, in the framework of an Lμ - Lτ theory, into upper limits on the Z0 coupling constant at the level of 5 × 10-2 – 1 for MZ0 ≤ 6 GeV=c2.

abstractNote = {Theories beyond the standard model often predict the existence of an additional neutral boson, the Z0. Using data collected by the Belle II experiment during 2018 at the SuperKEKB collider, we perform the first searches for the invisible decay of a Z0 in the process eþe- → μþμ-Z0 and of a lepton-flavor-violating Z0 in eþe- → eμ∓Z0. We do not find any excess of events and set 90% credibility level upper limits on the cross sections of these processes. We translate the former, in the framework of an Lμ - Lτ theory, into upper limits on the Z0 coupling constant at the level of 5 × 10-2 – 1 for MZ0 ≤ 6 GeV=c2.},
