摘要

We investigate the physics reach and potential for the study of B-meson decays to invisible final states at the Future Circular Collider running electron-positron collisions at the Z pole (FCC-ee). Signal and background candidates are simulated for a proposed multipurpose detector, including inclusive contributions from Z decays to leptons or quarks. Signal candidates are selected by a mixture of rectangular cuts and a multiclass boosted decision tree classifier.

We determine that branching fractions above 7.6 × 109 (9.7 × 109) would be excluded at 90% (95%) confidence level, and branching fractions above 3.0 × 108 would be within discovery reach at FCC-ee if 6 × 1012 Z bosons are produced.
