    We study flavor changing neutral current decays ofBandKmesons in the dark U(1)Dmodel, with the dark photon/darkZmass between 10 MeV and 2 GeV. Although the model provides an improved fit (compared to the standard model) to the differential decay distributions ofB → K(∗)+, with=μ,e, andBs→ ϕμ+μ, the allowed parameter space is ruled out by measurements of atomic parity violation,K+→ μ++invisibledecay, and$$ {B}_s-{\overline{B}}_s $$BsB¯smixing, among others. To evade constraints from low energy data, we extend the model to allow for (1) additional invisibleZDdecay, (2) a direct vector coupling ofZDto muons, and (3) a direct coupling ofZDto both muons and electrons, with the electron coupling fine-tuned to cancel theZDcoupling to electrons via mixing. We find that only the latter case survives all constraints.
