The polarization of photons produced in radiative $B^{0}_{s}$ decays is studied for the first time. The data are recorded by the LHCb experiment in $pp$ collisions corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3fb$^{-1}$ at center-of-mass energies of $7$ and $8$TeV. A time-dependent analysis of the $B^{0}_{s} to phi gamma$ decay rate is conducted to determine the parameter ${mathcal{A}}^Delta$, which is related to the ratio of right- over left-handed photon polarization amplitudes in $b to s gamma$ transitions. A value of ${mathcal{A}}^Delta=-0.98^{,+0.46,+0.23}_{,-0.52,-0.20}$ is measured. This result is consistent with the Standard Model prediction within two standard deviations.

Radiative penguin decays provide an indirect probe for physics beyond the Standard Model and contribute to the determination of the CKM matrix elements. Copious quantities of B mesons produced at the B-Factories permit precision measurements of radia tive penguin decays. We review the experimental status of the radiative penguin processes b --> s(d) gamma.
The radiative decays of $b$-baryons facilitate the direct measurement of photon helicity in $bto sgamma$ transitions thus serving as an important test of physics beyond the Standard Model. In this paper we analyze the complete angular distribution of ground state $b$-baryon ($Lambda_{b}^{0}$ and $Xi_{b}^{-}$) radiative decays to multibody final states assuming an initially polarized $b$-baryon sample. Our sensitivity study suggests that the photon polarization asymmetry can be extracted to a good accuracy along with a simultaneous measurement of the initial $b$-baryon polarization. With higher yields of $b$-baryons, achievable in subsequent runs of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), we find that the photon polarization measurement can play a pivotal role in constraining different new physics scenarios.

A measurement of the photon polarization in radiative penguin $B$ decays provides a test of the Standard Model and a probe for New Physics, that can lead to a deviation from the Standard Model prediction of left-handed photons in $bto s gamma$. We pr opose a new method to measure the photon polarization using the baryonic decay $B^- to Lambdabar{p} gamma$. The $P$-violating $Lambda$-hyperon decay allows a measurement of the $Lambda$ helicity to be performed, which can be uniquely related to the photon polarization in a model-independent way. The $B^- to Lambdabar{p} gamma$ decay was recently measured to have a large branching fraction providing a possibility to get meaningful results with the data already available at LHC and B-factory experiments. An increase of the $B$-meson sample at high luminosity LHC experiments and Belle II should provide a really stringent test by using this method already in the near future.
We report a search for charmless hadronic decays of charged $B$ mesons to the final states $K^{0}_{S} K^{0}_{S} K^{pm}$ and $K^{0}_{S} K^{0}_{S} pi^{pm}$ . The results are based on a $711 {fb}^{-1}$ data sample that contains $772 times 10^6$ $B bar{B }$ pairs, and was collected at the $Upsilon(4S)$ resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy $e^{+}e^{-}$ collider. For $B^{pm} to K^{0}_{S} K^{0}_{S} K^{pm}$ decays, the measured branching fraction and direct $CP$ asymmetry are $[10.64pm0.49(stat)pm 0.44(syst)]times10^{-6}$ and [$-0.6pm3.9(stat)pm 3.4(syst)$] %, respectively. In the absence of a statistically significant signal for $B^{pm}to K^{0}_{S} K^{0}_{S} pi^{pm}$, we set the 90 % confidence-level upper limit on its branching fraction at $1.14 times 10^{-6}$.

A search for previously unobserved decays of beauty baryons to the final states $K^0_{mathrm{S}}ppi^-$ and $K^0_{mathrm{S}}pK^-$ is reported. The analysis is based on a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $1.0,mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ of $pp$ collisions. The $Lambda^0_b rightarrow K^0_{mathrm{S}}ppi^-$ decay is observed for the first time with a significance of $8.6,sigma$, and a measurement is made of the $CP$ asymmetry, which is consistent with zero. No significant signals are seen for $Lambda^0_b rightarrow K^0_{mathrm{S}}pK^-$ decays, $Xi^0_b$ decays to both $K^0_{mathrm{S}}ppi^-$ and $K^0_{mathrm{S}}pK^-$ final states, and the $Lambda^0_b rightarrow D^-_s (K^0_{mathrm{S}}K^-)p$ decay, and upper limits on their branching fractions are reported.
