We study the expected sensitivity to measure the branching ratio of Higgs boson decays to invisible particles at a future circular collider (FCC-ee) in the process
with
(
or
) using an integrated luminosity of 3.5 ab
at a center-of-mass energy
GeV. The impact of the energy spread of the FCC-ee beam and of the resolution in the reconstruction of the leptons is discussed. The minimum branching ratio for a
observation after 3.5 ab
of data taking is
. The branching ratio exclusion limit at 95% CL is
.
