We present a software framework for Belle II that reconstructs B mesons in many decay modes with minimal user intervention. It does so by reconstructing particles in user-supplied decay channels, and then in turn using these reconstructed particles in higher-level decays. This hierarchical reconstruction allows one to cover a relatively high fraction of all B decays by specifying a limited number of particle decays. Multivariate classification methods are used to achieve a high signal-to-background ratio in each individual channel. The entire reconstruction, including the application of pre-cuts and classifier trainings, is automated to a high degree and will allow users to retrain to account for analysis-specific signal-side selections.

Rare and flavour-changing neutral current decays of the B meson are an important probe in the search for physics beyond the Standard Model. There have recently been several anomalies in rare B decays, and lepton-universality measurements, specificall y involving the $bto sell^+ell^-$ quark transition. These results tend towards a non-Standard-Model interpretation. The Belle II experiment is a next-generation b physics experiment located at SuperKEKB, an upgraded B factory $e^+e^-$ collider, in Tsukuba, Japan. The first collisions are expected in early 2018 with full physics data expected in 2019. This document describes prospects for several rare B decays at Belle II including $bto sell^+ell^-$ processes and others, such as $bto(s,,d)gamma$ and $bto s ubar u$. Areas where the Belle II program is complementary to that of the currently running LHCb experiment are highlighted.
We report on the reconstruction of various charmless $B$ decays from electron-positron collisions at the energy corresponding to the $Upsilon(4S)$ resonance collected with the Belle II detector at the SuperKEKB collider. We use simulation to devise o ptimized event selections and apply them to the full data set collected in 2019, corresponding to 8.7,fb$^{-1}$ of integrated luminosity. We fit the difference between half of the collision energy and the $B$ candidate energy (in the $Upsilon(4S)$ frame) for events restricted to a signal-rich range in beam-energy-constrained mass to search for charmless signals. Signal yields of approximately 80, 15, 20, 30, 90, and 160 decays are reconstructed for the channels $B^0 to K^+pi^-$, $B^0 to pi^+pi^-$, $B^+ to K^0_S(to pi^+pi^-)pi^+$, $B^+ to K^+pi^0(to gammagamma)$, $B^+ to K^+K^-K^+$, and $B^+ to K^+pi^-pi^+$, respectively. Yields and background contaminations are compatible with those expected from simulation and comparable with those obtained by the Belle experiment. The results show a good understanding of the detector performance and offer a reliable basis to assess projections for future reach.

This contribution illustrates a new search for the flavor-changing neutral-current decay ${B^+ to K^+ u bar u}$ performed by the Belle II experiment at the SuperKEKB asymmetric-energy electron-positron collider. In this study, a sample correspondin g to an integrated luminosity of $63, rm{fb}^{-1}$ collected at the $rm Upsilon(4S)$ resonance and an additional sample of $9, rm{fb}^{-1}$ collected at an energy $60, rm MeV$ below the resonance are used. A novel technique, based on an inclusive tagging method and exploiting the topological features of the ${B^+ to K^+ u bar u}$ decay, is employed and it provides a higher signal efficiency with respect to the methods used in the previous searches. No significant signal is observed. An upper limit of $4.1 times 10^{-5}$ is set on the ${B^+ to K^+ u bar u}$ branching fraction at the $90, %$ confidence level.
We report the result of a search for the decay $B^{-}tomu^{-}bar u_mu$. The signal events are selected based on the presence of a high momentum muon and the topology of the rest of the event showing properties of a generic $B$-meson decay, as well as the missing energy and momentum being consistent with the hypothesis of a neutrino from the signal decay. We find a 2.4 standard deviation excess above background including systematic uncertainties, which corresponds to a branching fraction of ${cal B}(B^{-}tomu^{-}bar u_mu) =(6.46 pm 2.22 pm 1.60 )times10^{-7}$ or a frequentist 90% confidence level interval on the $B^{-}tomu^{-}bar u_mu$ branching fraction of $[2.9, 10.7]times 10^{-7}$. This result is obtained from a $711 text{fb}^{-1}$ data sample that contains $772 times 10^6$ $Bbar{B}$ pairs, collected near the $Upsilon(4S)$ resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy $e^+ e^-$ collider.
We report on preliminary measurements of branching fractions, charge-parity-violating asymmetries, and longitudinal polarization fractions in charmless bottom-meson decays from the Belle~II experiment. We use samples of electron-positron collisions c ollected in 2019 and 2020 at the $Upsilon(4S)$ resonance, corresponding to integrated luminosities of up to 62.8 ${rm fb^{-1}}$. The results are compatible with known values, indicating good understanding of early detector performance.
