A search for $B_s^0 to overline{D}^{0} f_{0}(980)$ decays is performed using $3.0, {rm fb}^{-1}$ of $pp$ collision data recorded by the LHCb experiment during 2011 and 2012. The $f_{0}(980)$ meson is reconstructed through its decay to the $pi^{+}pi^{-}$ final state in the mass window $900, {rm MeV}/c^{2} < m(pi^{+}pi^{-}) < 1080, {rm MeV}/c^{2}$. No significant signal is observed. The first upper limits on the branching fraction of $mathcal{B}(B_s^0 to overline{D}^{0} f_{0}(980)) < 3.1,(3.4) times 10^{-6}$ are set at $90,%$ ($95,%$) confidence level.

The first observation of the $B_s^0 to overline{D}^{*0} phi$ decay is reported, with a significance of more than seven standard deviations, from an analysis of $pp$ collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3 fb$^{-1}$, collected with the LHCb detector at centre-of-mass energies of $7$ and $8$ TeV. The branching fraction is measured relative to that of the topologically similar decay $B^0 to overline{D}^0 pi^+pi^-$ and is found to be $mathcal{B}(B_s^0 to overline{D}^{*0} phi) = (3.7 pm 0.5 pm 0.3 pm 0.2) times 10^{-5}$, where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second systematic, and the third from the branching fraction of the $B^0 to overline{D}^0 pi^+pi^-$ decay. The fraction of longitudinal polarisation in this decay is measured to be ${f_{rm L} =(73 pm 15 pm 3)%}$. The most precise determination of the branching fraction for the $B_s^0 to overline{D}^{0} phi$ decay is also obtained, $mathcal{B}(B_s^0 to overline{D}^{0} phi) = (3.0 pm 0.3 pm 0.2 pm 0.2) times 10^{-5}$. An upper limit, $mathcal{B}(B^0 to overline{D}^{0} phi) < 2.0 (2.2) times 10^{-6}$ at $90%$ (95%) confidence level is set. A constraint on the $omega-phi$ mixing angle $delta$ is set at $|delta| < 5.2^circ~ (5.5^circ)$ at $90%$ ($95%$) confidence level.
The first observation of the $B_s^0 to overline{D}^0 K^+ K^-$ decay is reported, together with the most precise branching fraction measurement of the mode $B^0 to overline{D}^0 K^+ K^-$. The results are obtained from an analysis of $pp$ collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $3.0~textrm{fb}^{-1}$. The data were collected with the LHCb detector at centre-of-mass energies of $7$ and $8$ TeV. The branching fraction of the $B^0 to overline{D}^0 K^+ K^-$ decay is measured relative to that of the decay $B^0 to overline{D}^0 pi^+ pi^-$ to be $$frac{mathcal{B}(B^0 to overline{D}^0 K^+ K^-)}{mathcal{B}(B^0 to overline{D}^0 pi^+ pi^-)} = (6.9 pm 0.4 pm 0.3)%,$$ where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. The measured branching fraction of the $B_s^0 to overline{D}^0 K^+ K^-$ decay mode relative to that of the corresponding $B^0$ decay is $$frac{mathcal{B}(B_s^0 to overline{D}^0 K^+ K^-)}{mathcal{B}(B^0 to overline{D}^0 K^+ K^-)} = (93.0 pm 8.9 pm 6.9)%.$$ Using the known branching fraction of ${B^0 to overline{D}^0 pi^+ pi^-}$, the values of ${{mathcal B}(B^0 to overline{D}^0 K^+ K^- )=(6.1 pm 0.4 pm 0.3 pm 0.3) times 10^{-5}}$, and ${{cal B}(B_s^0 to overline{D}^0 K^+ K^-)=}$ $(5.7 pm 0.5 pm 0.4 pm 0.5) times 10^{-5}$ are obtained, where the third uncertainties arise from the branching fraction of the decay modes ${B^0 to overline{D}^0 pi^+ pi^-}$ and $B^0 to overline{D}^0 K^+ K^-$, respectively.
We report the first observation of $a^{0}_{0}(980)$-$f_{0}(980)$ mixing in the decays of $J/psitophi f_{0}(980)tophi a^{0}_{0}(980)tophietapi^{0}$ and $chi_{c1}to a^{0}_{0}(980)pi^{0}to f_{0}(980)pi^{0}topi^{+}pi^{-}pi^{0}$, using data samples of $1.31times10^{9}$ $J/psi$ events and $4.48times10^{8}$ $psi(3686)$ events accumulated with the BESIII detector. The signals of $f_{0}(980)to a^{0}_{0}(980)$ and $a^{0}_{0}(980)to f_{0}(980)$ mixing are observed at levels of statistical significance of $7.4sigma$ and $5.5sigma$, respectively. The corresponding branching fractions and mixing intensities are measured and the constraint regions on the coupling constants, $g_{a_{0}K^{+}K^{-}}$ and $g_{f_{0}K^{+}K^{-}}$, are estimated. The results improve the understanding of the nature of $a^{0}_{0}(980)$ and $f_{0}(980)$.
Using a sample of 1.31 billion $J/psi$ events collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider, the decays $J/psi to phi pi^{+}pi^{-}pi^{0}$ and $J/psi to phi pi^{0}pi^{0}pi^{0}$ are investigated. The isospin violating decay $J/psi to phi pi^{0} f_{0}(980)$ with $f_{0}(980) to pipi$, is observed for the first time. The width of the $f_{0}(980)$ obtained from the dipion mass spectrum is found to be much smaller than the world average value. In the $pi^{0} f_{0}(980)$ mass spectrum, there is evidence of $f_1(1285)$ production. By studying the decay $J/psi to phieta$, the branching fractions of $eta to pi^{+}pi^{-}pi^{0}$ and $eta to pi^{0}pi^{0}pi^{0}$, as well as their ratio, are also measured.
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.
