A discovery of the rare decay $B^{+} rightarrow pi^{+} mu^{+} mu^{-}$ is presented. This decay is observed for the first time, with 5.2 $sigma$ significance. The observation is made using $pp$ collision data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb$^{-1}$, collected with the LHCb detector. The measured branching fraction is (2.3 $pm$ 0.6 (stat.) $pm$ 0.1 (syst.))$times 10^{-8}$, and the ratio of the $B^{+} rightarrow pi^{+} mu^{+} mu^{-}$ and $B^{+} rightarrow K^{+} mu^{+} mu^{-}$ branching fractions is measured to be 0.053 $pm$ 0.014 (stat.) $pm$ 0.001 (syst.).

The suppressed decay $Lambda^{0}_{b}rightarrow ppi^{-}mu^{+}mu^{-}$, excluding the $J/psi$ and $psi(2S)rightarrow mu^{+}mu^{-}$ resonances, is observed for the first time with a significance of 5.5 standard deviations. The analysis is performed with proton-proton collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $3mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ collected with the LHCb experiment. The $Lambda^{0}_{b}rightarrow ppi^{-}mu^{+}mu^{-}$ branching fraction is measured relative to the $Lambda^{0}_{b}rightarrow J/psi(rightarrow mu^{+}mu^{-})ppi^{-}$ branching fraction giving begin{align} onumber frac{mathcal{B}(Lambda^{0}_{b}rightarrow ppi^{-}mu^{+}mu^{-})}{mathcal{B}({Lambda^{0}_{b}rightarrow J/psi(rightarrow mu^{+}mu^{-})ppi^{-}})} &= 0.044pm0.012pm0.007, end{align} where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. This is the first observation of a $brightarrow d$ transition in a baryonic decay.
We have observed the rare decay K+ --> pi+ mu+ mu- and measured the branching ratio Gamma(K+ --> pi+ mu+ mu-)/Gamma(K+ --> all) = (5.0 +/- 0.4 (stat.) +/- 0.7 (sys.) +/- 0.6 (theor.)) x 10^{-8}. We compare this result with predictions from chiral per turbation theory and estimates based on the decay K+ --> pi+ e+ e-.
A search for the rare leptonic decay $B^{+} rightarrow {mu}^{+}{mu}^{-}{mu}^{+}{ u}_{{mu}}$ is performed using proton-proton collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $4.7$ fb$^{-1}$ collected by the LHCb experiment. The search is c arried out in the region where the lowest of the two ${mu}^{+}{mu}^{-}$ mass combinations is below $980$MeV/c$^{2}$. The data are consistent with the background-only hypothesis and an upper limit of $1.6 times 10^{-8}$ at 95% confidence level is set on the branching fraction in the stated kinematic region.
First observations of the rare decays $B^+rightarrow K^+pi^+pi^-mu^+mu^-$ and $B^+rightarrow phi K^+mu^+mu^-$ are presented using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $3.0,{fb}^{-1}$, collected by the LHCb experiment at centre-of-mass en ergies of $7$ and $8mathrm{,TeV}$. The branching fractions of the decays are begin{eqnarray*} mathcal{B}(B^+rightarrow K^+pi^+pi^-mu^+mu^-) &=& (4.36,^{+0.29}_{-0.27},mathrm{(stat)}pm 0.21,mathrm{(syst)}pm0.18,mathrm{(norm)})times10^{-7}, mathcal{B}(B^+rightarrowphi K^+mu^+mu^-) &=& (0.82 ,^{+0.19}_{-0.17},mathrm{(stat)},^{+0.10}_{-0.04},mathrm{(syst)}pm0.27,mathrm{(norm)}) times10^{-7},end{eqnarray*} where the uncertainties are statistical, systematic, and due to the uncertainty on the branching fractions of the normalisation modes. A measurement of the differential branching fraction in bins of the invariant mass squared of the dimuon system is also presented for the decay $B^+rightarrow K^+pi^+pi^-mu^{+}mu^{-}$.
We present an angular analysis of the $B^{+}rightarrow K^{ast+}(rightarrow K_{S}^{0}pi^{+})mu^{+}mu^{-}$ decay using 9$,mbox{fb}^{-1}$ of $pp$ collision data collected with the LHCb experiment. For the first time, the full set of CP-averaged angular observables is measured in intervals of the dimuon invariant mass squared. Local deviations from Standard Model predictions are observed, similar to those in previous LHCb analyses of the isospin-partner $B^{0}rightarrow K^{ast0}mu^{+}mu^{-}$ decay. The global tension is dependent on which effective couplings are considered and on the choice of theory nuisance parameters.
