Signatures of a flavor changing Z′ boson in Bq → γZ′

Rare B meson decays offer an opportunity to probe a light hidden Z′ boson. In this work we explore a new channel Bq→γZ′ (q=d,s) followed by a cascade decay of Z′ into an invisible (neutrino or dark matter) or charged lepton pair ℓ+ℓ− (ℓ=e,μ). The study is based on a simplified effective model where...
