First observations of the rare decays $B^+rightarrow K^+pi^+pi^-mu^+mu^-$ and $B^+rightarrow phi K^+mu^+mu^-$ are presented using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $3.0,{fb}^{-1}$, collected by the LHCb experiment at centre-of-mass energies of $7$ and $8mathrm{,TeV}$. The branching fractions of the decays are begin{eqnarray*} mathcal{B}(B^+rightarrow K^+pi^+pi^-mu^+mu^-) &=& (4.36,^{+0.29}_{-0.27},mathrm{(stat)}pm 0.21,mathrm{(syst)}pm0.18,mathrm{(norm)})times10^{-7}, mathcal{B}(B^+rightarrowphi K^+mu^+mu^-) &=& (0.82 ,^{+0.19}_{-0.17},mathrm{(stat)},^{+0.10}_{-0.04},mathrm{(syst)}pm0.27,mathrm{(norm)}) times10^{-7},end{eqnarray*} where the uncertainties are statistical, systematic, and due to the uncertainty on the branching fractions of the normalisation modes. A measurement of the differential branching fraction in bins of the invariant mass squared of the dimuon system is also presented for the decay $B^+rightarrow K^+pi^+pi^-mu^{+}mu^{-}$.

A search is performed for the lepton number violating decay $B^{+}to h^- mu^+ mu^+$, where $h^-$ represents a $K^-$ or a $pi^-$, using data from the LHCb detector corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $36pb^{-1}$. The decay is forbidden in the Standard Model but allowed in models with a Majorana neutrino. No signal is observed in either channel and limits of $B(B^{+} to K^- mu^+ mu^+) < 5.4times 10^{-8}$ and $B(B^{+} to pi^- mu^+ mu^+) < 5.8times 10^{-8}$ are set at the 95% confidence level. These improve the previous best limits by factors of 40 and 30, respectively.
The first observation of the $D^0 to pi^+pi^-mu^+mu^-$ and $D^0 to K^+K^-mu^+mu^-$ decays is reported using a sample of proton-proton collisions collected by LHCb at a center-of-mass energy of 8$,$TeV, and corresponding to 2$,$fb$^{-1}$ of integrated luminosity. The corresponding branching fractions are measured using as normalization the decay $D^0 to K^- pi^+[mu^+mu^-]_{rho^0/omega}$, where the two muons are consistent with coming from the decay of a $rho^0$ or $omega$ meson. The results are $mathcal{B}(D^0 to pi^+pi^-mu^+mu^-)=(9.64pm0.48pm0.51pm0.97)times10^{-7}$ and $mathcal{B}(D^0 to K^+K^-mu^+mu^-)=( 1.54pm0.27pm0.09pm0.16)times10^{-7}$, where the uncertainties are statistical, systematic, and due to the limited knowledge of the normalization branching fraction. The dependence of the branching fraction on the dimuon mass is also investigated.
The direct $C!P$ asymmetries of the decays $B^0 rightarrow K^{*0} mu^+ mu^-$ and $B^+ rightarrow K^{+} mu^+ mu^-$ are measured using $pp$ collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.0$mbox{fb}^{-1}$ collected with the LHCb detector. The respective control modes $B^0 rightarrow J/psi K^{*0}$ and $B^+ rightarrow J/psi K^{+}$ are used to account for detection and production asymmetries. The measurements are made in several intervals of $mu^+ mu^-$ invariant mass squared, with the $phi(1020)$ and charmonium resonance regions excluded. Under the hypothesis of zero $C!P$ asymmetry in the control modes, the average values of the asymmetries are begin{align} {cal A}_{C!P}(B^0 rightarrow K^{*0} mu^+ mu^-) &= -0.035 pm 0.024 pm 0.003, cr {cal A}_{C!P}(B^+ rightarrow K^{+} mu^+ mu^-) &= phantom{-}0.012 pm 0.017 pm 0.001, end{align} where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second are due to systematic effects. Both measurements are consistent with the Standard Model prediction of small $C!P$ asymmetry in these decays.
A measurement of the differential branching fraction of the decay ${B^{0}rightarrow K^{ast}(892)^{0}mu^{+}mu^{-}}$ is presented together with a determination of the S-wave fraction of the $K^+pi^-$ system in the decay $B^{0}rightarrow K^{+}pi^{-}mu^{+}mu^{-}$. The analysis is based on $pp$-collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3,fb$^{-1}$ collected with the LHCb experiment. The measurements are made in bins of the invariant mass squared of the dimuon system, $q^2$. Precise theoretical predictions for the differential branching fraction of $B^{0}rightarrow K^{ast}(892)^{0}mu^{+}mu^{-}$ decays are available for the $q^2$ region $1.1<q^2<6.0,{rm GeV}^2/c^4$. In this $q^2$ region, for the $K^+pi^-$ invariant mass range $796 < m_{Kpi} < 996,{rm MeV}/c^2$, the S-wave fraction of the $K^+pi^-$ system in $B^{0}rightarrow K^{+}pi^{-}mu^{+}mu^{-}$ decays is found to be begin{equation*} F_{rm S} = 0.101pm0.017({rm stat})pm0.009 ({rm syst}), end{equation*} and the differential branching fraction of $B^{0}rightarrow K^{ast}(892)^{0}mu^{+}mu^{-}$ decays is determined to be begin{equation*} {rm d}mathcal{B}/{rm d} q^2 = (0.342_{,-0.017}^{,+0.017}({rm stat})pm{0.009}({rm syst})pm0.023({rm norm}))times 10^{-7}c^{4}/{rm GeV}^{2}. end{equation*} The differential branching fraction measurements presented are the most precise to date and are found to be in agreement with Standard Model predictions.
A discovery of the rare decay $B^{+} rightarrow pi^{+} mu^{+} mu^{-}$ is presented. This decay is observed for the first time, with 5.2 $sigma$ significance. The observation is made using $pp$ collision data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb$^{-1}$, collected with the LHCb detector. The measured branching fraction is (2.3 $pm$ 0.6 (stat.) $pm$ 0.1 (syst.))$times 10^{-8}$, and the ratio of the $B^{+} rightarrow pi^{+} mu^{+} mu^{-}$ and $B^{+} rightarrow K^{+} mu^{+} mu^{-}$ branching fractions is measured to be 0.053 $pm$ 0.014 (stat.) $pm$ 0.001 (syst.).
