The $B_s^0pi^pm$ invariant mass distribution is investigated in order to search for possible exotic meson states. The analysis is based on a data sample recorded with the LHCb detector corresponding to $3$ fb$^{-1}$ of $pp$ collision data at $sqrt{s} = 7$ and $8$ TeV. No significant excess is found, and upper limits are set on the production rate of the claimed $X(5568)$ state within the LHCb acceptance. Upper limits are also set as a function of the mass and width of a possible exotic meson decaying to the $B_s^0pi^pm$ final state. The same limits also apply to a possible exotic meson decaying through the chain $B_s^{*0}pi^pm$, $B_s^{*0} to B_s^0 gamma$ where the photon is excluded from the reconstructed decays.

The $Upsilon(1S)mu^+mu^-$ invariant-mass distribution is investigated for a possible exotic meson state composed of two $b$ quarks and two $overline{b}$ quarks, $X_{boverline{b}boverline{b}}$. The analysis is based on a data sample of $pp$ collisions recorded with the LHCb detector at centre-of-mass energies $sqrt{s} =$ 7, 8 and 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 6.3 fb$^{-1}$. No significant excess is found, and upper limits are set on the product of the production cross-section and the branching fraction as functions of the mass of the $X_{boverline{b}boverline{b}}$ state. The limits are set in the fiducial volume where all muons have pseudorapidity in the range $[2.0,5.0]$, and the $X_{boverline{b}boverline{b}}$ state has rapidity in the range $[2.0,4.5]$ and transverse momentum less than 15 GeV/$c$.
The $g$, $h$, and $k$ Dalitz plot parameters, which are coefficients in a series expansion of the squared module of the matrix element $|M(u,v)|^{2} propto 1 + gu + hu^{2} + kv^{2}$ ($u$, $v$ are invariant variables), have been measured for $K^{pm}to pi^{pm} pi^{0} pi^{0}$ decays using $35 GeV/c$ hadron beams at the IHEP (Protvino) accelerator. Dependences of parameters and fit quality on the $pi^0pi^0$ mass cut were investigated. The results point to the important role of $pi^+pi^- to pi^0pi^0$ charge exchange scattering near the $pi^0pi^0$ mass threshold. The comparison of our data with previous measurements is presented.

We report evidence of a narrow structure, $X(5568)$, in the decay sequence $X(5568) rightarrow B_s^0 pi^{pm}$, $B_s^0 rightarrow J/psi phi$, $J/psirightarrow mu^+ mu^-$, $phi rightarrow K^+K^-$. This is evidence for the first instance of a hadronic s tate with valence quarks of four different flavors. The mass and natural width of this state are measured to be $m = 5567.8 pm 2.9 {rm thinspace (stat)} ^{+0.9}_{-1.9} {rm thinspace (syst)}$ MeV/$c^2$ and $Gamma = 21.9 pm 6.4 {rm thinspace (stat)} ^{+5.0}_{-2.5} {rm thinspace (syst)} $ MeV/$c^2$. If the decay is $X(5568) rightarrow B_s^* pi^{pm} rightarrow B_s^0 gamma pi^{pm}$ with an unseen $gamma$, $m(X(5568))$ will be shifted up by $m(B_s^*) - m(B_s^0) sim 49$ MeV/$c^2$. This measurement is based on $10.4~rm{fb^{-1}}$ of $p bar p $ collision data at $sqrt{s}$ = 1.96 TeV collected by the D0 experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron collider.
A new baryon state is observed in the $Lambda_b^0pi^+pi^-$ mass spectrum with high significance using a data sample of $pp$ collisions, collected with the LHCb detector at centre-of-mass energies $sqrt{s}=7, 8$ and 13TeV, corresponding to an integrat ed luminosity of 9fb$^{-1}$. The mass and natural width of the new state are measured to be begin{eqnarray*} m & = & 6072.3 pm 2.9 pm 0.6 pm 0.2 MeV,, Gamma & = & 72 pm 11 pm 2 MeV,, end{eqnarray*} where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic. The third uncertainty for the mass is due to imprecise knowledge of the $Lambda_b^0$ baryon mass. The new state is consistent with the first radial excitation of the $Lambda_b^0$ baryon, the $Lambda_b(2S)^0$ resonance. Updated measurements of the masses and the upper limits on the natural widths of the previously observed $Lambda_b(5912)^0$ and $Lambda_b(5920)^0$ states are also reported.

We present a precise calculation of the dilepton invariant-mass spectrum and the decay rate for $B^pm to pi^pm ell^+ ell^-$ ($ell^pm = e^pm, mu^pm $) in the Standard Model (SM) based on the effective Hamiltonian approach for the $b to d ell^+ ell^-$ transitions. With the Wilson coefficients already known in the next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic (NNLL) accuracy, the remaining theoretical uncertainty in the short-distance contribution resides in the form factors $f_+ (q^2)$, $f_0 (q^2)$ and $f_T (q^2)$. Of these, $f_+ (q^2)$ is well measured in the charged-current semileptonic decays $B to pi ell u_ell$ and we use the $B$-factory data to parametrize it. The corresponding form factors for the $B to K$ transitions have been calculated in the Lattice-QCD approach for large-$q^2$ and extrapolated to the entire $q^2$-region using the so-called $z$-expansion. Using an $SU(3)_F$-breaking Ansatz, we calculate the $B to pi$ tensor form factor, which is consistent with the recently reported lattice $B to pi$ analysis obtained at large~$q^2$. The prediction for the total branching fraction ${cal B} (B^pm to pi^pm mu^+ mu^-) = (1.88 ^{+0.32}_{-0.21}) times 10^{-8}$ is in good agreement with the experimental value obtained by the LHCb Collaboration. In the low $q^2$-region, heavy-quark symmetry (HQS) relates the three form factors with each other. Accounting for the leading-order symmetry-breaking effects, and using data from the charged-current process $B to pi ell u_ell$ to determine $f_+ (q^2)$, we calculate the dilepton invariant-mass distribution in the low $q^2$-region in the $B^pm to pi^pm ell^+ ell^-$ decay. This provides a model-independent and precise calculation of the partial branching ratio for this decay.
