A search for previously unobserved decays of beauty baryons to the final states $K^0_{mathrm{S}}ppi^-$ and $K^0_{mathrm{S}}pK^-$ is reported. The analysis is based on a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $1.0,mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ of $pp$ collisions. The $Lambda^0_b rightarrow K^0_{mathrm{S}}ppi^-$ decay is observed for the first time with a significance of $8.6,sigma$, and a measurement is made of the $CP$ asymmetry, which is consistent with zero. No significant signals are seen for $Lambda^0_b rightarrow K^0_{mathrm{S}}pK^-$ decays, $Xi^0_b$ decays to both $K^0_{mathrm{S}}ppi^-$ and $K^0_{mathrm{S}}pK^-$ final states, and the $Lambda^0_b rightarrow D^-_s (K^0_{mathrm{S}}K^-)p$ decay, and upper limits on their branching fractions are reported.

A search for $B_{(s)}^{0} to K_{S}^{0} K^{*}(892)^{0}$ decays is performed using $pp$ collision data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $1.0~text{fb}^{-1}$, collected with the LHCb detector at a centre-of-mass energy of $7~text{TeV}$. The $B_{s}^{0} to K_{S}^{0} K^{*}(892)^{0}$ decay is observed for the first time, with a significance of 7.1 standard deviations. The branching fraction is measured to be begin{equation*} mathcal{B}(B_{s}^{0} to bar{K}^{0} K^{*}(892)^{0}) + mathcal{B}(B_{s}^{0} to K^{0} bar{K}^{*}(892)^{0}) = (16.4 pm 3.4 pm 2.3) times 10^{-6}, end{equation*} where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. No evidence is found for the decay $B^{0} to K_{S}^{0} K^{*}(892)^{0}$ and an upper limit is set on the branching fraction, $mathcal{B}(B^{0} to bar{K}^{0} K^{*}(892)^{0}) + mathcal{B}(B^{0} to K^{0} bar{K}^{*}(892)^{0}) < 0.96 times 10^{-6}, $ at $90,% $ confidence level. All results are consistent with Standard Model predictions.
A search for charmless three-body decays of $B^0$ and $B_{s}^0$ mesons with a $K_{rm S}^0$ meson in the final state is performed using the $pp$ collision data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $1.0,mbox{fb}^{-1}$, collected at a centre-of-mass energy of $7mathrm{,Tekern -0.1em V}$ recorded by the LHCb experiment. Branching fractions of the $B_{(s)}^0 to K_{rm S}^0 h^{+} h^{prime -}$ decay modes ($h^{(prime)} = pi, K$), relative to the well measured $B^0 to K_{rm S}^0 pi^{+} pi^{-}$ decay, are obtained. First observation of the decay modes $B_s^0 to K_{rm S}^0 K^{pm} pi^{mp}$ and $B_s^0 to K_{rm S}^0 pi^{+} pi^{-}$ and confirmation of the decay $B^0 to K_{rm S}^0 K^{pm} pi^{mp}$ are reported. The following relative branching fraction measurements or limits are obtained begin{eqnarray*} onumber frac{{cal B}(B^0 to K_{rm S}^0 K^{pm} pi^{mp})}{{cal B}(B^0 to K_{rm S}^0 pi^{+} pi^{-})} &=& 0.128 pm 0.017 , ({rm stat.}) pm 0.009 , ({rm syst.}) ,, onumber frac{{cal B}(B^0 to K_{rm S}^0 K^{+} K^{-} )}{{cal B}(B^0 to K_{rm S}^0 pi^{+} pi^{-})} &=& 0.385 pm 0.031 , ({rm stat.}) pm 0.023 , ({rm syst.}) ,, onumber frac{{cal B}(B_s^0 to K_{rm S}^0 pi^{+} pi^{-} )}{{cal B}(B^0 to K_{rm S}^0 pi^{+} pi^{-})} &=& 0.29phantom{0} pm 0.06phantom{0} , ({rm stat.}) pm 0.03phantom{0} , ({rm syst.}) pm 0.02 , (f_s/f_d) ,, onumber frac{{cal B}(B_s^0 to K_{rm S}^0 K^{pm} pi^{mp})}{{cal B}(B^0 to K_{rm S}^0 pi^{+} pi^{-})} &=& 1.48phantom{0} pm 0.12phantom{0} , ({rm stat.}) pm 0.08phantom{0} , ({rm syst.}) pm 0.12 , (f_s/f_d) ,, onumber frac{{cal B}(B_s^0 to K_{rm S}^0 K^{+} K^{-} )}{{cal B}(B^0 to K_{rm S}^0 pi^{+} pi^{-})} &in& [0.004;0.068] ; {rm at ;; 90% ; CL} ,. end{eqnarray*}
An analysis of $B^+ to K_{rm scriptscriptstyle S}^0 pi^+$ and $B^+ to K_{rm scriptscriptstyle S}^0 K^+$ decays is performed with the LHCb experiment. The $pp$ collision data used correspond to integrated luminosities of $1{,fb}^{-1}$ and $2{,fb}^{-1}$ collected at centre-of-mass energies of $sqrt{s}=7mathrm{,Tekern -0.1em V}$ and $sqrt{s}=8mathrm{,Tekern -0.1em V}$, respectively. The ratio of branching fractions and the direct {it CP} asymmetries are measured to be $mathcal{B}(B^+ to K_{rm scriptscriptstyle S}^0 K^+)/mathcal{B}(B^+ to K_{rm scriptscriptstyle S}^0 pi^+) = 0.064 pm 0.009textrm{(stat.)} pm 0.004textrm{(syst.)}$, $mathcal{A}^{it CP}(B^+ to K_{rm scriptscriptstyle S}^0 pi^+) = -0.022 pm 0.025textrm{(stat.)} pm 0.010textrm{(syst.)}$ and $mathcal{A}^{it CP}(B^+ to K_{rm scriptscriptstyle S}^0 K^+) = -0.21 pm 0.14textrm{(stat.)} pm 0.01textrm{(syst.)}$. The data sample taken at $sqrt{s}=7mathrm{,Tekern -0.1em V}$ is used to search for $B_c^+ to K_{rm scriptscriptstyle S}^0 K^+$ decays and results in the upper limit $(f_ccdotmathcal{B}(B_c^+ to K_{rm scriptscriptstyle S}^0 K^+))/(f_ucdotmathcal{B}(B^+ to K_{rm scriptscriptstyle S}^0 pi^+)) < 5.8times10^{-2}textrm{at 90% confidence level}$, where $f_c$ and $f_u$ denote the hadronisation fractions of a $bar{b}$ quark into a $B_c^+$ or a $B^+$ meson, respectively.
A binned Dalitz plot analysis of the decays $B^0 to D K^{ast 0}$, with $D to K_{S}^{0} pi^{+} pi^{-}$ and $K_{S}^{0} K^{+} K^{-}$, is performed to measure the observables $x_pm$ and $y_pm$, which are related to the CKM angle $gamma$ and the hadronic parameters of the decays. The $D$ decay strong phase variation over the Dalitz plot is taken from measurements performed at the CLEO-c experiment, making the analysis independent of the $D$ decay model. With a sample of proton-proton collision data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $3.0,rm{fb}^{-1}$, collected by the LHCb experiment, the values of the $CP$ violation parameters are found to be $x_+ = 0.05 pm 0.35 pm 0.02$, $x_-=-0.31pm 0.20 pm 0.04$, $y_+=-0.81pm 0.28pm 0.06$ and $y_-=0.31pm 0.21 pm 0.05$, where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second systematic. These observables correspond to values $gamma$ = $(71 pm 20)^circ$, $r_{B^0} = 0.56pm 0.17$ and $delta_{B^0} = (204,^{+21}_{-20})^circ$. The parameters $r_{B^0}$ and $delta_{B^0}$ are the magnitude ratio and strong phase difference between the suppressed and favoured $B^0$ decay amplitudes, and have been measured in a region of $pm 50$ MeV/$c^2$ around the $K^{ast}(892)^{0}$ mass and with the magnitude of the cosine of the $K^{ast}(892)^{0}$ helicity angle larger than 0.4.
Using an $e^{+}e^{-}$ annihilation data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $3.19~mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ and collected at a center-of-mass energy $sqrt{s} = 4.178~mathrm{GeV}$ with the BESIII detector, we measure the absolute branching fractions $mathcal{B}(D_{s}^{+} rightarrow K_{S}^{0}K^{+}) = (1.425pm0.038_{rm stat.}pm0.031_{rm syst.})%$ and $mathcal{B}(D_{s}^{+} rightarrow K_{L}^{0}K^{+}) =(1.485pm0.039_{rm stat.}pm0.046_{rm syst.})%$. The branching fraction of $D_{s}^{+} rightarrow K_{S}^{0}K^{+}$ is compatible with the world average and that of $D_{s}^{+} rightarrow K_{L}^{0}K^{+}$ is measured for the first time. We present the first measurement of the $K_{S}^{0}$-$K_{L}^{0}$ asymmetry in the decays $D_{s}^{+} rightarrow K_{S,L}^{0}K^{+}$, and $R(D_{s}^{+} rightarrow K_{S,L}^{0}K^{+})=frac{mathcal{B}(D_{s}^{+} rightarrow K_{S}^{0}K^{+}) -mathcal{B}(D_{s}^{+} rightarrow K_{L}^{0}K^{+})}{mathcal{B}(D_{s}^{+} rightarrow K_{S}^{0}K^{+}) +mathcal{B}(D_{s}^{+} rightarrow K_{L}^{0}K^{+})}= (-2.1pm1.9_{rm stat.}pm1.6_{rm syst.})%$. In addition, we measure the direct $CP$ asymmetries $A_{rm CP}(D_{s}^{pm} rightarrow K_{S}^{0}K^{pm}) = (0.6pm2.8_{rm stat.}pm0.6_{rm syst.})%$ and $A_{rm CP}(D_{s}^{pm} rightarrow K_{L}^{0}K^{pm}) = (-1.1pm2.6_{rm stat.}pm0.6_{rm syst.})%$.
