We present a search for an invisible hidden-sector particle Xinv, produced in B0→D¯0Xinv and B±→hXinv decays, where h=π±, K±, Ds±, 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→hXinv) as a function of mXinv. Corresponding limits are set on B(B→hX)×B(X→γγ) for lifetimes cτX 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.

Abstract
We present a search for an invisible hidden-sector particle Xinv, produced in B0→D¯0Xinv and B±→hXinv decays, where h=π±, K±, Ds±, 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→hXinv) as a function of mXinv. Corresponding limits are set on B(B→hX)×B(X→γγ) for lifetimes cτX 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.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
