A study of B+ to J/psi pi+ and B+ to psi(2S) pi+ decays is performed with data corresponding to 0.37 fb-1 of proton-proton collisions at sqrt(s)=7 TeV. Their branching fractions are found to be B(B+ to J/psi pi+) = (3.88 +- 0.11 +- 0.15) x 10^{-5} and B(B+ to psi(2S) pi+) = (2.52 +- 0.26 +- 0.15) x 10^{-5}, where the first uncertainty is related to the statistical size of the sample and the second quantifies systematic effects. The measured CP asymmetries in these modes are ACP(J/psi pi) = 0.005 +- 0.027 +- 0.011 and ACP(psi(2S) pi) = 0.048 +- 0.090 +- 0.011 with no evidence of direct CP violation seen.
We report measurements of the branching fractions and direct CP asymmetries (A_{CP}) for B->K pi, pi pi and KK decays (but not pi^0 pi^0) based on the final data sample of 772x10^6 B B-bar pairs collected at the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e^+ e^- collider. We set a 90% confidence-level upper limit for K^+- K^-+ at 2.0x10^{-7}; all other decays are observed with branching fractions ranging from 10^{-6} to 10^{-5}. In the $B^0/B^0-bar -> K^+-pi^-+ mode, we confirm Belles previously reported large A_{CP} with a value of -0.069 +- 0.014 +- 0.007 and a significance of 4.4 sigma. For all other flavor-specific modes, we find A_{CP} values consistent with zero, including A_{CP}(K^+- pi^0) = +0.043 +- 0.024 +- 0.007 with 1.8 sigma significance. The difference of CP asymmetry between B^+- -> K^+- pi^0 and B^0/B^0-bar -> K^+-pi^-+ is found to be Delta A_{K pi} equiv A_{CP} (K^+ pi^0) - A_{CP}(K^+ pi^-) = +0.112 +- 0.027 +- 0.007 with 4.0 sigma significance. We also calculate the ratios of partial widths for the B-> K pi decays. Using our results, we test the validity of the sum rule A_{CP}(K^+ pi^-) + A_{CP}(K^0pi^+) x Gamma(K^0pi^+)/Gamma(K^+ pi^-)} - A_{CP}(K^+ pi^0)x 2Gamma(K^+ pi^0)/Gamma(K^+ pi^-) - A_{CP}(K^0 pi^0)x 2Gamma(K^0 pi^0)/Gamma(K^+ pi^-) = 0 and obtain a sum of -0.270 +- 0.132 +- 0.060 with 1.9 sigma significance.
The decays $B^+rightarrow J/psi 3pi^+ 2pi^-$ and $B^+rightarrow psi(2S) pi^+pi^+pi^-$ are observed for the first time using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $3.0fb^{-1}$, collected by the LHCb experiment in proton-proton collisions at the centre-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV. The branching fractions relative to that of $B^+ rightarrow psi(2S)K^+$ are measured to be begin{eqnarray*} frac {mathcal{B}left(B^+rightarrow J/psi 3pi^+ 2pi^- right)} {mathcal{B}left(B^+ rightarrow psi(2S)K^+ right)} & = & left(1.88pm0.17pm0.09right)times10^{-2}, frac {mathcal{B}left(B^+rightarrow psi(2S) pi^+pi^+pi^- right)} {mathcal{B}left(B^+ rightarrow psi(2S)K^+ right)} & = & left(3.04pm0.50pm0.26right)times10^{-2}, end{eqnarray*} where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second are systematic.
The ratio of branching fractions and the difference in $CP$ asymmetries of the decays $B^+to J/psi pi^+$ and $B^+to J/psi K^+$ are measured using a data sample of $pp$ collisions collected by the LHCb experiment, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $3~{{,mbox{fb}^{-1}}}$ at centre-of-mass energies of 7 and $8~mathrm{,Tekern -0.1em V}$. The results are begin{equation*} {mathcal{B}(B^+to J/psi pi^+)overmathcal{B}(B^+to J/psi K^+)}=(3.83pm0.03pm0.03)times10^{-2},, end{equation*} begin{equation*} mathcal{A}^{CP}(B^+to J/psi pi^+)-mathcal{A}^{CP}(B^+to J/psi K^+)=(1.82pm0.86pm0.14)times10^{-2}, end{equation*} where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second are systematic. Combining this result with a recent LHCb measurement of $mathcal{A}^{CP}(B^+to J/psi K^+)$ provides the most precise estimate to date of $CP$ violation in the decay $B^+to J/psi pi^+$, begin{equation*} mathcal{A}^{CP}(B^+to J/psi pi^+) =(1.91pm0.89pm0.16)times10^{-2}. end{equation*}
Based on $(106.41 pm 0.86)times 10^{6}$ $psi(3686)$ events collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider, the branching fractions of $psi(3686) to pi^+pi^- J/psi$, $J/psi to e^+e^- $, and $J/psi to mu^+mu^-$ are measured. We obtain ${cal B}[psi(3686) to pi^+pi^-J/psi]=(34.98pm 0.02pm 0.45)%$, ${cal B}[J/psi to e^+e^-] = (5.983 pm 0.007 pm 0.037)%$ and ${cal B}[J/psi to mu^+mu^-] = (5.973 pm 0.007 pm 0.038)%$. The measurement of ${cal B}[psi(3686) to pi^{+}pi^{-}J/psi]$ confirms the CLEO-c measurement, and is apparently larger than the others. The measured $J/psi$ leptonic decay branching fractions agree with previous experiments within one standard deviation. These results lead to ${cal B}[J/psi to l^+l^-] = (5.978 pm 0.005 pm 0.040)%$ by averaging over the $e^{+}e^{-}$ and $mu^{+}mu^{-}$ channels and a ratio of ${cal B}[J/psi to e^+e^-] / {cal B}[J/psi to mu^+mu^-] = 1.0017 pm 0.0017 pm 0.0033$, which tests $e$-$mu$ universality at the four tenths of a percent level. All the measurements presented in this paper are the most precise in the world to date.
Using $pp$ collision data collected by LHCb at center-of-mass energies $sqrt{s}$ = 7 TeV and 8 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3 fb$^{-1}$, the ratio of the branching fraction of the $B_c^+ rightarrow psi(2S)pi^+$ decay relative to that of the $B_c^+ rightarrow J/psipi^+$ decay is measured to be 0.268 $pm$ 0.032 (stat) $pm$ 0.007 (syst) $pm$ 0.006 (BF). The first uncertainty is statistical, the second is systematic, and the third is due to the uncertainties on the branching fractions of the $J/psi rightarrow mu^+mu^-$ and $psi(2S) rightarrow mu^+mu^-$ decays. This measurement is consistent with the previous LHCb result, and the statistical uncertainty is halved.
