The charmless three-body decays $B^0_{(s)} to K_{mathrm{scriptscriptstyle S}}^0 h^+ h^{prime -}$ (where $h^{(prime)} = pi, K$) are analysed using a sample of $pp$ collision data recorded by the LHCb experiment, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $3mbox{fb}^{-1}$. The branching fractions are measured relative to that of the $B^0 to K_{mathrm{scriptscriptstyle S}}^0 pi^{+} pi^{-}$ decay, and are determined to be: begin{eqnarray*} frac{{cal B}(B^0rightarrow K^0_{rm S}K^{pm}pi^{mp})}{{cal B}(B^0rightarrow K^0_{rm S}pi^{+}pi^{-})} = {} & 0.123 pm 0.009 ; mathrm{,(stat)}; pm 0.015 ; mathrm{,(syst)},, frac{{cal B}(B^0rightarrow K^0_{rm S}K^{+}K^{-})} {{cal B}(B^0rightarrow K^0_{rm S}pi^{+}pi^{-})} = {} & 0.549 pm 0.018 ; mathrm{,(stat)}; pm 0.033 ; mathrm{,(syst)},, frac{{cal B}(B_{s}^0rightarrow K^0_{rm S}pi^{+}pi^{-})}{{cal B}(B^0rightarrow K^0_{rm S}pi^{+}pi^{-})} = {} & 0.191 pm 0.027 ; mathrm{,(stat)}; pm 0.031 ; mathrm{,(syst)}; pm 0.011 ; (f_s/f_d) ,, frac{{cal B}(B_{s}^0rightarrow K^0_{rm S}K^{pm}pi^{mp})} {{cal B}(B^0rightarrow K^0_{rm S}pi^{+}pi^{-})} = {} & 1.70phantom{0} pm 0.07phantom{0} ; mathrm{,(stat)} ; pm 0.11phantom{0} ; mathrm{,(syst)}; pm 0.10phantom{0} ; (f_s/f_d) ,, frac{{cal B}(B_{s}^0rightarrow K^0_{rm S}K^{+}K^{-})}{{cal B}(B^0rightarrow K^0_{rm S}pi^{+}pi^{-})} in {} & [0.008 - 0.051] rm ~at~90%~confidence~level, end{eqnarray*} where $f_s/f_d$ represents the ratio of hadronisation fractions of the $B^0_s$ and $B^0$ mesons.

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.
Decays of $B^0$ and $B_{s}^0$ mesons to the charmless baryonic final states $p overline{p} h^+ h^{prime-}$, where $h$ and $h^prime$ each denote a kaon or a pion, are searched for using the LHCb detector. The analysis is based on a sample of proton-proton collision data collected at center-of-mass energies of $7$ and $8,$TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $3,$fb$^{-1}$. Four-body charmless baryonic $B_{s}^0$ decays are observed for the first time. The decays $B^0_{s}to p overline{p} K^+ K^-$, $B^0_{s}to p overline{p} K^pm pi^mp$, $B^0to p overline{p} K^pm pi^mp$ and $B^0to p overline{p} pi^+pi^-$ are observed with a significance greater than $5$ standard deviations; evidence at $4.1$ standard deviations is found for the $B^0to p overline{p} K^+ K^-$ decay and an upper limit is set on the branching fraction for $B^0_{s}to p overline{p} pi^+ pi^-$. Branching fractions in the kinematic region $m(p overline{p})<2850,$MeV$/c^2$ are measured relative to the $B^0 to J/psi (to p overline{p}) K^*(892)^0$ channel.
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*}
The relative branching fractions of $B^+ to h^+h^{prime +}h^{prime -}$ decays, where $h^{(prime)}$ is a pion or kaon, are measured. The analysis is performed with a data sample, collected with the LHCb detector, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $3.0 {rm fb}^{-1}$ of $pp$ collisions. The results obtained improve significantly on previous measurements of these quantities, and are important for the interpretation of Dalitz plot analyses of three-body charmless hadronic decays of $B^+$ mesons.
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.
