An amplitude analysis of flavour-untagged $B_s^0 to J/psi p bar{p}$ decays is performed using a sample of $797pm31$ decays reconstructed with the LHCb detector. The data, collected in proton-proton collisions between 2011 and 2018, correspond to an integrated luminosity of 9 $text{fb}^{-1}$. Evidence for a new structure in the $J/psi p$ and $J/psi bar{p}$ systems with a mass of $4337 ^{+7}_{-4} ^{+2}_{-2}~text{MeV}$ and a width of $29 ^{+26}_{-12} ^{+14}_{-14}~text{MeV}$ is found, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic, with a significance in the range of 3.1 to 3.7 $sigma$, depending on the assigned $J^P$ hypothesis.

The data sample of $Lambda_b^0to J/psi p K^-$ decays acquired with the LHCb detector from 7 and 8~TeV $pp$ collisions, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3 fb$^{-1}$, is inspected for the presence of $J/psi p$ or $J/psi K^-$ contributions with minimal assumptions about $K^- p$ contributions. It is demonstrated at more than 9 standard deviations that $Lambda_b^0to J/psi p K^-$ decays cannot be described with $K^- p$ contributions alone, and that $J/psi p$ contributions play a dominant role in this incompatibility. These model-independent results support the previously obtained model-dependent evidence for $P_c^+to J/psi p$ charmonium-pentaquark states in the same data sample.
The results of searches for $B^{0}_{(s)} rightarrow J/{psi} p overline{p}$ and $B^{+} to J/{psi} p overline{p} {pi}^{+}$ decays are reported. The analysis is based on a data sample, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb$^{-1}$ of $pp$ collisions, collected with the LHCb detector. An excess with 2.8$,sigma$ significance is seen for the decay $B^{0}_{s} to J/{psi} p overline{p}$ and an upper limit on the branching fraction is set at the 90 % confidence level: ${cal B}(B^{0}_{s} to J/{psi} p overline{p}) < 4.8 times 10^{-6}$, which is the first such limit. No significant signals are seen for $B^{0} to J/{psi} p overline{p}$ and $B^{+} to J/{psi} p overline{p} {pi}^{+}$ decays, for which the corresponding limits are set: ${cal{B}}(B^{0} to J/{psi} p overline{p}) < 5.2 times 10^{-7}$, which significantly improves the existing limit; and ${cal{B}}(B^{+} to J/{psi} p overline{p} {pi}^{+}) < 5.0 times 10^{-7}$, which is the first limit on this branching fraction.
We observe the process $psi(3686) to p bar{p} eta^{prime}$ for the first time, with a statistical significance higher than 10$sigma$, and measure the branching fraction of $J/psi to p bar{p} eta^{prime}$ with an improved accuracy compared to earlier studies. The measurements are based on $4.48 times 10^8$ $psi(3686)$ and $1.31 times 10^{9}$ $J/psi$ events collected by the BESIII detector operating at the BEPCII. The branching fractions are determined to be $B(psi(3686) to p bar{p} eta^{prime}) = (1.10pm0.10pm0.08)times10^{-5}$ and $B(J/psi to p bar{p} eta^{prime})=(1.26pm0.02pm 0.07)times10^{-4}$, where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second ones systematic. Additionally, the $eta-eta^{prime}$ mixing angle is determined to be $-24^{circ} pm 11^{circ}$ based on $psi(3686) to p bar{p} eta^{prime}$, and $-24^{circ} pm 9^{circ}$ based on $J/psi to p bar{p} eta^{prime}$, respectively.
The decay $J/psi rightarrow omega p bar{p}$ has been studied, using $225.3times 10^{6}$ $J/psi$ events accumulated at BESIII. No significant enhancement near the $pbar{p}$ invariant-mass threshold (denoted as $X(pbar{p})$) is observed. The upper limit of the branching fraction $mathcal{B}(J/psi rightarrow omega X(pbar{p}) rightarrow omega p bar{p})$ is determined to be $3.9times10^{-6}$ at the 95% confidence level. The branching fraction of $J/psi rightarrow omega p bar{p}$ is measured to be $mathcal{B}(J/psi rightarrow omega p bar{p}) =(9.0 pm 0.2 (text{stat.})pm 0.9 (text{syst.})) times 10^{-4}$.
Observations of exotic structures in the $J/psi p$ channel, that we refer to as pentaquark-charmonium states, in $Lambda_b^0to J/psi K^- p$ decays are presented. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 3/fb acquired with the LHCb detector from 7 and 8 TeV pp collisions. An amplitude analysis is performed on the three-body final-state that reproduces the two-body mass and angular distributions. To obtain a satisfactory fit of the structures seen in the $J/psi p$ mass spectrum, it is necessary to include two Breit-Wigner amplitudes that each describe a resonant state. The significance of each of these resonances is more than 9 standard deviations. One has a mass of $4380pm 8pm 29$ MeV and a width of $205pm 18pm 86$ MeV, while the second is narrower, with a mass of $4449.8pm 1.7pm 2.5$ MeV and a width of $39pm 5pm 19$ MeV. The preferred $J^P$ assignments are of opposite parity, with one state having spin 3/2 and the other 5/2.
