Using the entire data sample of $980$ $fb^{-1}$ integrated luminosity collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy $e^{+}e^{-}$ collider, we present an amplitude analysis measuring the branching fractions of the Cabibbo-allowed, $W$-exchange resonant decay $Xi_{c}^{0} rightarrow Xi^{0} phi (to K^+ K^-)$ with a polarized $phi$ and the non-resonant decay via a direct process $Xi_{c}^{0} rightarrow Xi^{0} K^+ K^-$. We present these measurements, relative to the normalization mode $Xi^{-}pi^{+}$, and find branching ratios $frac{mathcal{B}(Xi_{c}^{0} rightarrow Xi^{0} phi (rightarrow K^{+}K^{-}))}{mathcal{B}(Xi_{c}^{0} rightarrow Xi^{-} pi^{+})} = 0.036 pm 0.004 (stat.) pm 0.002 (syst.)$ and $frac{mathcal{B}(Xi_{c}^{0} rightarrow Xi^{0} K^{+} K^{-})}{mathcal{B}(Xi_{c}^{0} rightarrow Xi^{-} pi^{+})} = 0.039 pm 0.004 (stat.) pm 0.002 (syst.)$ which suggest that only minor cusping peaks occur in the combinatorial background of $Omega^{*-} to Xi^{0}K^{-}$ due to these $Xi_{c}^{0}$ decays.

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.
Time-integrated $CP$ asymmetries in $D^0$ decays to the final states $K^- K^+$ and $pi^- pi^+$ are measured using proton-proton collisions corresponding to $3mathrm{,fb}^{-1}$ of integrated luminosity collected at centre-of-mass energies of $7mathrm{,Tekern -0.1em V}$ and $8mathrm{,Tekern -0.1em V}$. The $D^0$ mesons are produced in semileptonic $b$-hadron decays, where the charge of the accompanying muon is used to determine the initial flavour of the charm meson. The difference in $CP$ asymmetries between the two final states is measured to be begin{align} Delta A_{CP} = A_{CP}(K^-K^+)-A_{CP}(pi^-pi^+) = (+0.14 pm 0.16mathrm{,(stat)} pm 0.08mathrm{,(syst)})% . onumber end{align} A measurement of $A_{CP}(K^-K^+)$ is obtained assuming negligible $CP$ violation in charm mixing and in Cabibbo-favoured $D$ decays. It is found to be begin{align} A_{CP}(K^-K^+) = (-0.06 pm 0.15mathrm{,(stat)} pm 0.10mathrm{,(syst)}) % , onumber end{align} where the correlation coefficient between $Delta A_{CP}$ and $A_{CP}(K^-K^+)$ is $rho=0.28$. By combining these results, the $CP$ asymmetry in the $D^0rightarrowpi^-pi^+$ channel is $A_{CP}(pi^-pi^+)=(-0.20pm0.19mathrm{,(stat)}pm0.10mathrm{,(syst)})%$.
Using data samples of 89.5 and 711 fb$^{-1}$ recorded at energies of $sqrt{s}=10.52$ and $10.58$ GeV, respectively, with the Belle detector at the KEKB $e^+e^-$ collider, we report measurements of branching fractions of semileptonic decays $Xi_{c}^{0} to Xi^{-} ell^{+} u_{ell}$ ($ell=e$ or $mu$) and the $CP$-asymmetry parameter of $Xi_{c}^{0} to Xi^{-} pi^{+}$ decay. The branching fractions are measured to be ${cal B}(Xi_{c}^{0} to Xi^{-} e^{+} u_{e})=(1.31 pm 0.04 pm 0.07 pm 0.38)%$ and ${cal B}(Xi_{c}^{0} to Xi^{-} mu^{+} u_{mu})=(1.27 pm 0.06 pm 0.10 pm 0.37)%$, and the decay parameter $alpha_{Xipi}$ is measured to be $0.63 pm 0.03 pm 0.01$ with much improved precision compared to the current world average. The corresponding ratio ${cal B}(Xi_{c}^{0} to Xi^{-} e^{+} u_{e})/{cal B}(Xi_{c}^{0} to Xi^{-} mu^{+} u_{mu})$ is $1.03 pm 0.05pm 0.07$, which is consistent with the expectation of lepton flavor universality. The first measured asymmetry parameter ${cal A}_{CP} = (alpha_{Xi^{-}pi^{+}} + alpha_{bar{Xi}^{+}pi^{-}})/(alpha_{Xi^{-}pi^{+}} - alpha_{bar{Xi}^{+}pi^{-}}) = 0.024 pm 0.052 pm 0.014$ is found to be consistent with zero. The first and the second uncertainties above are statistical and systematic, respectively, while the third ones arise due to the uncertainty of the $Xi_{c}^{0} to Xi^{-} pi^+$ branching fraction.
A precise determination of the effective $B_s^0 rightarrow K^+ K^-$ lifetime can be used to constrain contributions from physics beyond the Standard Model in the $B_s^0$ meson system. Conventional approaches select $B$ meson decay products that are significantly displaced from the $B$ meson production vertex. As a consequence, $B$ mesons with low decay times are suppressed, introducing a bias to the decay time spectrum which must be corrected. This analysis uses a technique that explicitly avoids a lifetime bias by using a neural network based trigger and event selection. Using 1.0 fb$^{-1}$ of data recorded by the LHCb experiment, the effective $B_s^0 rightarrow K^+ K^-$ lifetime is measured as $1.455 pm 0.046 ; mathrm{(stat.)} pm 0.006 ; mathrm{(syst.)} , mathrm{ps}.$
An angular analysis of the decay $B_s^0 rightarrow K^{*0}bar{K}{}^{*0}$ is performed using $pp$ collisions corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $1.0$ ${fb}^{-1}$ collected by the LHCb experiment at a centre-of-mass energy $sqrt{s} = 7$ TeV. A combined angular and mass analysis separates six helicity amplitudes and allows the measurement of the longitudinal polarisation fraction $f_L = 0.201 pm 0.057 {(stat.)} pm 0.040{(syst.)}$ for the $B_s^0 rightarrow K^*(892)^0 bar{K}{}^*(892)^0$ decay. A large scalar contribution from the $K^{*}_{0}(1430)$ and $K^{*}_{0}(800)$ resonances is found, allowing the determination of additional $CP$ asymmetries. Triple product and direct $CP$ asymmetries are determined to be compatible with the Standard Model expectations. The branching fraction $mathcal{B}(B_s^0 rightarrow K^*(892)^0 bar{K}{}^*(892)^0)$ is measured to be $(10.8 pm 2.1 { rm (stat.)} pm 1.4 { rm (syst.)} pm 0.6 (f_d/f_s) ) times 10^{-6}$.
