A search for baryon-number-violating $Xi_b^0$ oscillations is performed with a sample of $pp$ collision data recorded by the LHCb experiment, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3 fb$^{-1}$. The baryon number at the moment of production is identified by requiring that the $Xi_b^0$ come from the decay of a resonance $Xi_b^{*-} to Xi_b^0 pi^-$ or $Xi_b^{prime-} to Xi_b^0 pi^-$, and the baryon number at the moment of decay is identified from the final state using the decays $Xi_b^0 to Xi_c^+ pi^-, ~ Xi_c^+ to p K^- pi^+$. No evidence of baryon number violation is found, and an upper limit at the 95% confidence level is set on the oscillation rate of $omega < 0.08$ ps$^{-1}$, where $omega$ is the associated angular frequency.

We search for lepton-number- and baryon-number-violating decays $tau^{-}tooverline{p}e^{+}e^{-}$, $pe^{-}e^{-}$, $overline{p}e^{+}mu^{-}$, $overline{p}e^{-}mu^{+}$, $overline{p}mu^{+}mu^{-}$, and $pmu^{-}mu^{-}$ using 921 fb$^{-1}$ of data, equivalen
t to $(841pm12)times 10^6$ $tau^{+}tau^{-}$ events, recorded with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy $e^{+}e^{-}$ collider. In the absence of a signal, $90%$ confidence-level upper limits are set on the branching fractions of these decays in the range $(1.8$-$4.0)times 10^{-8}$. We set the worlds first limits on the first four channels and improve the existing limits by an order of magnitude for the last two channels.
Using a 2.93 fb$^{-1}$ data sample of electron-positron collisions taken with the BESIII detector at a center-of-mass energy of 3.773 GeV, which corresponds to $(8296pm31pm64)times10^3 D^+D^-$ pairs, we search for the baryon and lepton number violati
ng decays $D^+tobarLambda(barSigma^0)e^+$ and $D^+toLambda(Sigma^0)e^+$. No obvious signals are found with the current statistics and upper limits on the branching fractions of these four decays are set at the level of $10^{-6}$ at 90% confidence level.
We perform a search for near-threshold $Xi_b^0$ resonances decaying to $Xi_b^- pi^+$ in a sample of proton-proton collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3 fb$^{-1}$ collected by the LHCb experiment. We observe one resonant state,
with the following properties: begin{eqnarray*} m(Xi_b^{*0}) - m(Xi_b^-) - m(pi^+) &=& 15.727 pm 0.068 , (mathrm{stat}) pm 0.023 , (mathrm{syst}) , mathrm{MeV}/c^2, Gamma(Xi_b^{*0}) &=& 0.90 pm 0.16 , (mathrm{stat}) pm 0.08 , (mathrm{syst}) , mathrm{MeV} . end{eqnarray*} This confirms the previous observation by the CMS collaboration. The state is consistent with the $J^P=3/2^+$ $Xi_b^{*0}$ resonance expected in the quark model. This is the most precise determination of the mass and the first measurement of the natural width of this state. We have also measured the ratio begin{align*} frac{sigma(pp to Xi_b^{*0} X){cal{B}}(Xi_b^{*0} to Xi_b^- pi^+)}{sigma(pp to Xi_b^- X)} = 0.28 pm 0.03 , (mathrm{stat}) pm 0.01 , (mathrm{syst}) . end{align*}
Bottom baryons decaying to a J/psi meson and a hyperon are reconstructed using 1.0 fb^{-1} of data collected in 2011 with the LHCb detector. Significant Lambda_b^0 rightarrow J/psi Lambda, Xi_b^-rightarrow J/psi Xi^- and Omega_b^- rightarrow J/psi Om
ega^- signals are observed and the corresponding masses are measured to be M(Lambda_b^0) = 5619.53 pm 0.13 (stat) pm 0.45 (syst) MeV/c^2, M(Xi_b^-) = 5795.8 pm 0.9 (stat) pm 0.4 (syst) MeV/c^2, M(Omega_b^-) = 6046.0 pm 2.2 (stat) pm 0.5 (syst) MeV/c^2, while the differences with respect to the Lambda_b^0 mass are M(Xi_b^-)-M(Lambda_b^0) = 176.2 pm 0.9 (stat) pm 0.1 (syst) MeV/c^2, M(Omega_b^-)-M(Lambda_b^0) = 426.4 pm 2.2 (stat) pm 0.4 (syst) MeV/c^2. These are the most precise mass measurements of the Lambda_b^0, Xi_b^- and Omega_b^- baryons to date. Averaging the above Lambda_b^0 mass measurement with that published by LHCb using 35 pb^{-1} of data collected in 2010 yields M(Lambda_b^0) = 5619.44 pm 0.13 (stat) pm 0.38 (syst) MeV/c^2.
Using a proton-proton collision data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3 fb$^{-1}$ collected by LHCb at center-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV, about 3800 $Xi_b^0toXi_c^+pi^-$, $Xi_c^+to pK^-pi^+$ signal decays are reconstructed. Fr
om this sample, the first measurement of the $Xi_b^0$ baryon lifetime is made, relative to that of the $Lambda_b^0$ baryon. The mass differences $M(Xi_b^0)-M(Lambda_b^0)$ and $M(Xi_c^+)-M(Lambda_c^+)$ are also measured with precision more than four times better than the current world averages. The resulting values are $frac{tau_{Xi_b^0}}{tau_{Lambda_b^0}} = 1.006pm0.018pm0.010$, $M(Xi_b^0) - M(Lambda_b^0) = 172.44pm0.39pm0.17 MeV/c^2$, $M(Xi_c^+) - M(Lambda_c^+) = 181.51pm0.14pm0.10 MeV/c^2$, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. The relative rate of $Xi_b^0$ to $Lambda_b^0$ baryon production is measured to be $frac{f_{Xi_b^0}}{f_{Lambda_b^0}}frac{{cal{B}}(Xi_b^0toXi_c^+pi^-)}{{cal{B}}(Lambda_b^0toLambda_c^+pi^-)}frac{{cal{B}}(Xi_c^+to pK^-pi^+)}{{cal{B}}(Lambda_c^+to pK^-pi^+)} = (1.88pm0.04pm0.03)times10^{-2}$, where the first factor is the ratio of fragmentation fractions, $btoXi_b^0$ relative to $btoLambda_b^0$. Relative production rates as functions of transverse momentum and pseudorapidity are also presented.
