A search for the rare decays $B_s^0 to pi^+pi^-mu^+mu^-$ and $B^0 to pi^+pi^-mu^+mu^-$ is performed in a data set corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.0 fb$^{-1}$ collected by the LHCb detector in proton-proton collisions at centre-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV. Decay candidates with pion pairs that have invariant mass in the range 0.5-1.3 GeV/$c^2$ and with muon pairs that do not originate from a resonance are considered. The first observation of the decay $B_s^0 to pi^+pi^-mu^+mu^-$ and the first evidence of the decay $B^0 to pi^+pi^-mu^+mu^-$ are obtained and the branching fractions, restricted to the dipion-mass range considered, are measured to be $mathcal{B}(B_s^0 to pi^+pi^-mu^+mu^-)=(8.6pm 1.5,({rm stat}) pm 0.7,({rm syst})pm 0.7,({rm norm}))times 10^{-8}$ and $mathcal{B}(B^0 to pi^+pi^-mu^+mu^-)=(2.11pm 0.51,({rm stat}) pm 0.15,({rm syst})pm 0.16,({rm norm}) )times 10^{-8}$, where the third uncertainty is due to the branching fraction of the decay $B^0to J/psi(to mu^+mu^-)K^*(890)^0(to K^+pi^-)$, used as a normalisation.

The first observation of the $D^0 to pi^+pi^-mu^+mu^-$ and $D^0 to K^+K^-mu^+mu^-$ decays is reported using a sample of proton-proton collisions collected by LHCb at a center-of-mass energy of 8$,$TeV, and corresponding to 2$,$fb$^{-1}$ of integrated luminosity. The corresponding branching fractions are measured using as normalization the decay $D^0 to K^- pi^+[mu^+mu^-]_{rho^0/omega}$, where the two muons are consistent with coming from the decay of a $rho^0$ or $omega$ meson. The results are $mathcal{B}(D^0 to pi^+pi^-mu^+mu^-)=(9.64pm0.48pm0.51pm0.97)times10^{-7}$ and $mathcal{B}(D^0 to K^+K^-mu^+mu^-)=( 1.54pm0.27pm0.09pm0.16)times10^{-7}$, where the uncertainties are statistical, systematic, and due to the limited knowledge of the normalization branching fraction. The dependence of the branching fraction on the dimuon mass is also investigated.
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 $B^+rightarrow K^+pi^+pi^-mu^{+}mu^{-}$.
A measurement of the differential branching fraction of the decay ${B^{0}rightarrow K^{ast}(892)^{0}mu^{+}mu^{-}}$ is presented together with a determination of the S-wave fraction of the $K^+pi^-$ system in the decay $B^{0}rightarrow K^{+}pi^{-}mu^{ +}mu^{-}$. The analysis is based on $pp$-collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3,fb$^{-1}$ collected with the LHCb experiment. The measurements are made in bins of the invariant mass squared of the dimuon system, $q^2$. Precise theoretical predictions for the differential branching fraction of $B^{0}rightarrow K^{ast}(892)^{0}mu^{+}mu^{-}$ decays are available for the $q^2$ region $1.1<q^2<6.0,{rm GeV}^2/c^4$. In this $q^2$ region, for the $K^+pi^-$ invariant mass range $796 < m_{Kpi} < 996,{rm MeV}/c^2$, the S-wave fraction of the $K^+pi^-$ system in $B^{0}rightarrow K^{+}pi^{-}mu^{+}mu^{-}$ decays is found to be begin{equation*} F_{rm S} = 0.101pm0.017({rm stat})pm0.009 ({rm syst}), end{equation*} and the differential branching fraction of $B^{0}rightarrow K^{ast}(892)^{0}mu^{+}mu^{-}$ decays is determined to be begin{equation*} {rm d}mathcal{B}/{rm d} q^2 = (0.342_{,-0.017}^{,+0.017}({rm stat})pm{0.009}({rm syst})pm0.023({rm norm}))times 10^{-7}c^{4}/{rm GeV}^{2}. end{equation*} The differential branching fraction measurements presented are the most precise to date and are found to be in agreement with Standard Model predictions.
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.
Proton-proton collision data recorded in 2011 and 2012 by the lhcb experiment, co-rres-pon-ding to an integrated luminosity of 3.0invfb, are a-na-lysed to search for the charmless ${B^0 to rho^0 rho^0}$ decay. More than 600 ${B^0 to (pi^+pi^-)(pi^+pi ^-)}$ signal decays are selected and used to perform an amplitude analysis from which the ${B^0 to rho^0 rho^0}$ decay is observed for the first time with 7.1 standard deviations significance. The fraction of ${B^0 to rho^0 rho^0}$ decays yielding a longitudinally polarised final state is measured to be $fL = 0.745^{+0.048}_{-0.058} ({rm stat}) pm 0.034 ({rm syst})$. The ${B^0 to rho^0 rho^0}$ branching fraction, using the ${B^0 to phi K^*(892)^{0}}$ decay as reference, is also reported as ${BF(B^0 to rho^0 rho^0) = (0.94 pm 0.17 ({rm stat}) pm 0.09 ({rm syst}) pm 0.06 ({rm BF})) times 10^{-6}}$.
