A search for heavy Majorana neutrinos produced in the $B^- to pi^+mu^-mu^-$ decay mode is performed using 3 fb$^{-1}$ of integrated luminosity collected with the LHCb detector in $pp$ collisions at center-of-mass energies of 7 TeV and 8 TeV at the LHC. Neutrinos with masses in the range 250-5000 MeV and lifetimes from zero to 1000 ps are probed. In the absence of a signal, upper limits are set on the branching fraction ${cal{B}}(B^- to pi^+mu^-mu^-)$ as functions of neutrino mass and lifetime. These limits are on the order of $10^{-9}$ for short neutrino lifetimes of 1 ps or less. Limits are also set on the coupling between the muon and a possible fourth-generation neutrino.

A search is performed for the lepton number violating decay $B^{+}to h^- mu^+ mu^+$, where $h^-$ represents a $K^-$ or a $pi^-$, using data from the LHCb detector corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $36pb^{-1}$. The decay is forbidden in the
Standard Model but allowed in models with a Majorana neutrino. No signal is observed in either channel and limits of $B(B^{+} to K^- mu^+ mu^+) < 5.4times 10^{-8}$ and $B(B^{+} to pi^- mu^+ mu^+) < 5.8times 10^{-8}$ are set at the 95% confidence level. These improve the previous best limits by factors of 40 and 30, respectively.
A search for non-resonant D+(s) to pi+mu+mu- and D+(s) to pi-mu+mu+ decays is performed using proton-proton collision data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb-1, at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV recorded by the LHCb experiment in 2011. No signals
are observed and the 90% (95%) confidence level (CL) limits on the branching fractions are B(D+ to pi+mu+mu-) < 7.3 (8.3) x 10-8, B(Ds+ to pi+mu+mu-) < 4.1 (4.8) x 10-7, B(D+ to pi-mu+mu+) < 2.2 (2.5) x 10-8, B(Ds+ to pi-mu+mu+) < 1.2 (1.4) x 10-7. These limits are the most stringent to date.
oindent A search for the decays $B^0_{s}rightarrow mu^+ mu^- mu^+ mu^-$ and $B^0 rightarrow mu^+ mu^- mu^+ mu^-$ is performed using data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0ensuremath{{,fb}^{-1}}xspace, collected with the LHCb detector i
n 2011. The number of candidates observed is consistent with the expected background and, assuming phase-space models of the decays, limits on the branching fractions are set: {${ensuremath{cal B}xspace}(B^0_{s}rightarrow mu^+ mu^- mu^+ mu^-) < 1.6 (1.2) times 10^{-8}$} and {${ensuremath{cal B}xspace}(B^0 rightarrow mu^+ mu^- mu^+ mu^-)< 6.6 (5.3) times 10^{-9}$} at 95,% (90,%) confidence level. In addition, limits are set in the context of a supersymmetric model which allows for the $B^0_{(s)}$ meson to decay into a scalar ($S$) and pseudoscalar particle ($P$), where $S$ and $P$ have masses of 2.5 GeV and 214.3 MeV, respectively, both resonances decay into $mu^+mu^-$. The branching fraction limits for these decays are {${ensuremath{cal B}xspace}(ensuremath{B^0_{s}rightarrow SP}xspace) < 1.6 (1.2) times 10^{-8}$} and {${ensuremath{cal B}xspace}(ensuremath{B^0rightarrow SP}xspace)< 6.3 (5.1) times 10^{-9}$} at 95% (90%) confidence level.
Searches are performed for both prompt-like and long-lived dark photons, $A$, produced in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. These searches look for $A!to!mu^+mu^-$ decays using a data sample corresponding to an integrated
luminosity of 5.5/fb collected with the LHCb detector. Neither search finds evidence for a signal, and 90% confidence-level exclusion limits are placed on the $gamma$-$A$ kinetic-mixing strength. The prompt-like $A$ search explores the mass region from near the dimuon threshold up to 70 GeV, and places the most stringent constraints to date on dark photons with $214 < m(A) lesssim 740$ MeV and $10.6 < m(A) lesssim 30$ GeV. The search for long-lived $A!to!mu^+mu^-$ decays places world-leading constraints on low-mass dark photons with lifetimes $mathcal{O}(1)$ ps.
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 $B^+rightarrow K^+pi^+pi^-mu^{+}mu^{-}$.
