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 ${BF(B^0 to rho^0 rho^0) = (0.94 pm 0.17 ({rm stat}) pm 0.09 ({rm syst}) pm 0.06 ({rm BF})) times 10^{-6}}$.

An amplitude analysis of ${B^0to (pi^+pi^-) (K^+pi^-)}$ decays is performed in the two-body invariant mass regions ${300 < m(pi^+pi^-)<1100}$ MeV/$c^2$, accounting for the $rho^0$, $omega$, $f_0(500)$, $f_0(980)$ and $f_0(1370)$ resonances, and ${750 < m(K^+pi^-)<1200}$ MeV/$c^2$, which is dominated by the $K^{*}(892)^0$ meson. The analysis uses 3 fb$^{-1}$ of proton-proton collision data collected by the LHCb experiment at centre-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV. The $CP$ averages and asymmetries are measured for the magnitudes and phase differences of the contributing amplitudes. The $CP$-averaged longitudinal polarisation fractions of the vector-vector modes are found to be $tilde{f}^0_{rho K^{*}} = 0.164 pm 0.015 pm 0.022$ and $tilde{f}^0_{omega K^{*}} = 0.68 pm 0.17 pm 0.16$, and their $CP$ asymmetries, $mathcal{A}^0_{rho K^{*}} = -0.62 pm 0.09 pm 0.09$ and $mathcal{A}^0_{omega K^{*}} = -0.13 pm 0.27 pm 0.13$, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic.
The resonant substructures of $B^0 to overline{D}^0 pi^+pi^-$ decays are studied with the Dalitz plot technique. In this study a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.0 fb$^{-1}$ of $pp$ collisions collected by the LHCb detector is used. The branching fraction of the $B^0 to overline{D}^0 pi^+pi^-$ decay in the region $m(overline{D}^0pi^{pm})>2.1$ GeV$/c^2$ is measured to be $(8.46 pm 0.14 pm 0.29 pm 0.40) times 10^{-4}$, where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second is systematic and the last arises from the normalisation channel $B^0 to D^*(2010)^-pi^+$. The $pi^+pi^-$ S-wave components are modelled with the Isobar and K-matrix formalisms. Results of the Dalitz plot analyses using both models are presented. A resonant structure at $m(overline{D}^0pi^-) approx 2.8$ GeV$/c^{2}$ is confirmed and its spin-parity is determined for the first time as $J^P = 3^-$. The branching fraction, mass and width of this structure are determined together with those of the $D^*_0(2400)^-$ and $D^*_2(2460)^-$ resonances. The branching fractions of other $B^0 to overline{D}^0 h^0$ decay components with $h^0 to pi^+pi^-$ are also reported. Many of these branching fraction measurements are the most precise to date. The first observation of the decays $B^0 to overline{D}^0 f_0(500)$, $B^0 to overline{D}^0 f_0(980)$, $B^0 to overline{D}^0 rho(1450)$, $B^0 to D_3^*(2760)^- pi^+$ and the first evidence of $B^0 to overline{D}^0 f_0(2020)$ are presented.
The time-integrated Dalitz plot of the three-body hadronic charmless decay ${{overline{B}}^0 to K_{mathrm{scriptscriptstyle S}}^0 pi^+ pi^-}$ is studied using a $pp$ collision data sample recorded with the LHCb detector, corresponding to an integrate d luminosity of $3.0;mathrm{fb}^{-1}$. The decay amplitude is described with an isobar model. Relative contributions of the isobar amplitudes to the ${overline{B}^0 to K_{mathrm{scriptscriptstyle S}}^0 pi^+ pi^-}$ decay branching fraction and CP asymmetries of the flavour-specific amplitudes are measured. The CP asymmetry between the conjugate ${overline{B}^0 to K^{*}(892)^{-}pi^+}$ and ${overline{B}^0 to K^{*}(892)^{+}pi^-}$ decay rates is determined to be $-0.308 pm 0.062$.
We present the results of a Dalitz plot analysis of D^0 to K^0_S pi^0 pi^0 using the CLEO-c data set of 818 inverse pico-barns of e^+ e^- collisions accumulated at sqrt{s} = 3.77 GeV. This corresponds to three million D^0 D^0-bar pairs from which we select 1,259 tagged candidates with a background of 7.5 +- 0.9 percent. Several models have been explored, all of which include the K^*(892), K^*_2(1430), K^*(1680), the f_0(980), and the sigma(500). We find that the combined pi^0 pi^0 S-wave contribution to our preferred fit is (28.9 +- 6.3 +- 3.1)% of the total decay rate while D^0 to K^*(892)^0 pi^0 contributes (65.6 +- 5.3 +- 2.5)%. Using three tag modes and correcting for quantum correlations we measure the D^0 to K^0_S pi^0 pi^0 branching fraction to be (1.059 +- 0.038 +- 0.061)%.
The Dalitz plot distribution of $B^0 rightarrow bar{D}^0 K^+ pi^-$ decays is studied using a data sample corresponding to $3.0rm{fb}^{-1}$ of $pp$ collision data recorded by the LHCb experiment during 2011 and 2012. The data are described by an ampli tude model that contains contributions from intermediate $K^*(892)^0$, $K^*(1410)^0$, $K^*_2(1430)^0$ and $D^*_2(2460)^-$ resonances. The model also contains components to describe broad structures, including the $K^*_0(1430)^0$ and $D^*_0(2400)^-$ resonances, in the $Kpi$ S-wave and the $Dpi$ S- and P-waves. The masses and widths of the $D^*_0(2400)^-$ and $D^*_2(2460)^-$ resonances are measured, as are the complex amplitudes and fit fractions for all components included in the amplitude model. The model obtained will be an integral part of a future determination of the angle $gamma$ of the CKM quark mixing matrix using $B^0 rightarrow D K^+ pi^-$ decays.
