The first observation of the decay $bar{B}^0_s to D^0 K^{*0}$ using $pp$ data collected by the LHCb detector at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 36 pb$^{-1}$, is reported. A signal of $34.4 pm 6.8$ events is obtained and the absence of signal is rejected with a statistical significance of more than nine standard deviations. The $bar{B}^0_s to D^0 K^{*0}$ branching fraction is measured relative to that of $bar{B}^0 to D^0 rho^0$: $frac{{cal B}(bar{B}^0_s to D^0 K^{*0})}{{cal B}(bar{B}^0 to D^0 rho^0)} = 1.48 pm 0.34 pm 0.15 pm 0.12$, where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second systematic and the third is due to the uncertainty on the ratio of the $B^0$ and $B^0_s$ hadronisation fractions.

The first observation of the decay $kstarkstar$ is reported using 35invpb of data collected by LHCb in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV. A total of $49.8 pm 7.5$ $B^0_s rightarrow (K^+pi^-)(K^-pi^+)$ events are {observed within $pm 50 mevcc$ of the Bs mass and $746 mevcc < m_{Kpi}< 1046 mevcc$, mostly coming from a resonant $kstarkstar$ signal.} The branching fraction and the CP-averaged Kstarz longitudinal polarization fraction are measured to be {$BR(kstarkstar) = (2.81 pm 0.46 ({rm stat.}) pm 0.45 ({rm syst.}) pm 0.34, (f_s/f_d))times10^{-5}$} and $f_L = 0.31 pm 0.12 ({rm stat.}) pm 0.04 ({rm syst.})$.
The first observation of the $B^0_stobar{D}^0 K^0_S$ decay mode and evidence for the $B^0_stobar{D}^{*0} K^0_S$ decay mode are reported. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 3.0 $text{fb}^{-1}$ collected in $pp$ collisions by LHCb at center-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV. The branching fractions are measured to be begin{align*} mathcal{B}(B^0_stobar{D}^0 bar{K}^0) &= (4.3pm0.5(text{stat})pm0.3(text{syst})pm0.3(text{frag})pm0.6(text{norm}))times10^{-4}, mathcal{B}(B^0_stobar{D}^{*0} bar{K}^0) &= (2.8pm1.0(text{stat})pm0.3(text{syst})pm0.2(text{frag})pm0.4(text{norm}))times10^{-4}, end{align*} where the uncertainties are due to contributions coming from statistical precision, systematic effects, and the precision of two external inputs, the ratio $f_s/f_d$ and the branching fraction of $B^0tobar{D}^0 K^0_S$, which is used as a calibration channel.
The $B^0$--$bar B^0$ oscillation frequency $Delta m_d$ is measured by the LHCb experiment using a dataset corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $1.0,$fb$^{-1}$ of proton-proton collisions at $sqrt{s} = 7,$TeV, and is found to be $Delta m_d = 0.5156 pm 0.0051,($stat.$) pm 0.0033,($syst.$),$ps$^{-1}$. The measurement is based on results from analyses of the decays $B^0 to D^- pi^+$ ($D^- to K^+ pi^- pi^-$) and $B^0 to J/ psi K^{*0}$ ($ J/ psi to mu^+ mu^-$, $K^{*0} to K^+ pi^-$) and their charge conjugated modes.
Using the data sample of 711 fb$^{-1}$ of $Upsilon(4S)$ on-resonance data taken by the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy electron-positron collider, we present the first measurements of branching fractions of the decays $B^{-} to bar{Lambda}_{c}^{-} Xi_{c}^{0}$, $B^{-} to bar{Lambda}_{c}^{-} Xi_{c}(2645)^{0}$, and $B^{-} to bar{Lambda}_{c}^{-} Xi_{c}(2790)^{0} $. The signal yields for these decays are extracted from the recoil mass spectrum of the system recoiling against $bar{Lambda}_{c}^{-}$ baryons in selected $B^-$ candidates. The branching fraction of $B^{-} to bar{Lambda}_{c}^{-} Xi_{c}(2790)^{0}$ is measured to be $ (1.1 pm 0.4 pm 0.2)times 10^{-3}$, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic. The 90% credibility level upper limits on ${cal B}(B^{-} to bar{Lambda}_{c}^{-} Xi_{c}^{0})$ and ${cal B}(B^{-} to bar{Lambda}_{c}^{-} Xi_{c}(2645)^{0})$ are determined to be $6.5times 10^{-4}$ and $7.9times 10^{-4}$, respectively.
The first observation of the decay $B^0 rightarrow D^0 overline{D}{}^0 K^+ pi^-$ is reported using proton-proton collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.7 $mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ collected by the LHCb experiment in 2011, 2012 and 2016. The measurement is performed in the full kinematically allowed range of the decay outside of the $D^{*-}$ region. The ratio of the branching fraction relative to that of the control channel $B^0 rightarrow D^{*-} D^0 K^+$ is measured to be $mathcal{R} = (14.2 pm 1.1 pm 1.0)%$, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. The absolute branching fraction of $B^0 rightarrow D^0 overline{D}{}^0 K^+ pi^-$ decays is thus determined to be $mathcal{B}(B^0 rightarrow D^0 overline{D}{}^0 K^+ pi^-) = (3.50 pm 0.27 pm 0.26 pm 0.30) times 10^{-4}$, where the third uncertainty is due to the branching fraction of the control channel. This decay mode is expected to provide insights to spectroscopy and the charm-loop contributions in rare semileptonic decays.
