Abstract The Belle collaboration reported an upper limit on the partial branching fraction on the rare decay B++νγ using the full dataset recorded at the Υ(4S) resonance. The decay allows for the extraction of the first inverse momentum of the light-cone distribution amplitude, an important parameter for QCD factorization for non-leptonic B decays. We present a MC study applying an improved tagging algorithm developed for the Belle~II experiment. We observe an increase of signal reconstruction efficiency of a factor of three, improving the expected sensitivity to 3.8σ. Further we give an outlook for the sensitivity measuring B++νγ with the Belle~II experiment.
