The first observation of the decays $B^0_{(s)} to J/psi p overline{p}$ is reported, using proton-proton collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $5.2{text{,fb}}^{-1}$, collected with the mbox{LHCb}xspace detector. These decays are suppressed due to limited available phase space, as well as due to Okubo-Zweig-Iizuka or Cabibbo suppression. The measured branching fractions are begin{align*} mathcal{B}(B^0 to J/psi p overline{p}) &= (4.51pm 0.40; text{(stat)} pm 0.44; text{(syst)}) times 10^{-7}, mathcal{B}(B^0_s to J/psi p overline{p}) &= (3.58pm 0.19; text{(stat)} pm 0.39; text{(syst)}) times 10^{-6}. end{align*} For the $B^0_s$ meson, the result is much higher than the expected value of $ {cal O} (10^{-9})$. The small available phase space in these decays also allows for the most precise single measurement of both the $B^0$ mass as ${5279.74 pm 0.30; ({rm stat})pm 0.10; ({rm syst})}$ MeV, and the $B^0_s$ mass as ${5366.85 pm 0.19; ({rm stat})pm 0.13; ({rm syst})}$ MeV.

Decays of $B^0$ and $B_{s}^0$ mesons to the charmless baryonic final states $p overline{p} h^+ h^{prime-}$, where $h$ and $h^prime$ each denote a kaon or a pion, are searched for using the LHCb detector. The analysis is based on a sample of proton-pr oton collision data collected at center-of-mass energies of $7$ and $8,$TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $3,$fb$^{-1}$. Four-body charmless baryonic $B_{s}^0$ decays are observed for the first time. The decays $B^0_{s}to p overline{p} K^+ K^-$, $B^0_{s}to p overline{p} K^pm pi^mp$, $B^0to p overline{p} K^pm pi^mp$ and $B^0to p overline{p} pi^+pi^-$ are observed with a significance greater than $5$ standard deviations; evidence at $4.1$ standard deviations is found for the $B^0to p overline{p} K^+ K^-$ decay and an upper limit is set on the branching fraction for $B^0_{s}to p overline{p} pi^+ pi^-$. Branching fractions in the kinematic region $m(p overline{p})<2850,$MeV$/c^2$ are measured relative to the $B^0 to J/psi (to p overline{p}) K^*(892)^0$ channel.
The results of searches for $B^{0}_{(s)} rightarrow J/{psi} p overline{p}$ and $B^{+} to J/{psi} p overline{p} {pi}^{+}$ decays are reported. The analysis is based on a data sample, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb$^{-1}$ of $pp$ c ollisions, collected with the LHCb detector. An excess with 2.8$,sigma$ significance is seen for the decay $B^{0}_{s} to J/{psi} p overline{p}$ and an upper limit on the branching fraction is set at the 90 % confidence level: ${cal B}(B^{0}_{s} to J/{psi} p overline{p}) < 4.8 times 10^{-6}$, which is the first such limit. No significant signals are seen for $B^{0} to J/{psi} p overline{p}$ and $B^{+} to J/{psi} p overline{p} {pi}^{+}$ decays, for which the corresponding limits are set: ${cal{B}}(B^{0} to J/{psi} p overline{p}) < 5.2 times 10^{-7}$, which significantly improves the existing limit; and ${cal{B}}(B^{+} to J/{psi} p overline{p} {pi}^{+}) < 5.0 times 10^{-7}$, which is the first limit on this branching fraction.
A search for previously unobserved decays of beauty baryons to the final states $K^0_{rmscriptscriptstyle S} p pi^{-}$ and $K^0_{rmscriptscriptstyle S}p K^{-}$ is reported. The analysis is based on a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminos ity of $1.0,$fb$^{-1}$ of $pp$ collisions. The $Lambda^0_{b} rightarrow overline{kern -0.2em K}^0_{rmscriptscriptstyle S}p pi^{-}$ decay is observed with a significance of $8.6,sigma$, with branching fraction begin{eqnarray*} {cal{B}}(Lambda^0_{b} rightarrow overline{kern -0.2em K}^0 p pi^{-}) & = & left(1.26 pm 0.19 pm 0.09 pm 0.34 pm 0.05 right) times 10^{-5} ,, end{eqnarray*} where the uncertainties are statistical, systematic, from the ratio of fragmentation fractions $f_{Lambda}/f_{d}$, and from the branching fraction of the $B^0 rightarrow K^0_{rmscriptscriptstyle S}pi^{+}pi^{-}$ normalisation channel, respectively. A first measurement is made of the $CP$ asymmetry, giving begin{eqnarray*} A_{C/!P} (Lambda^0_{b} rightarrow overline{kern -0.2em K}^0 p pi^{-}) & = & 0.22 pm 0.13mathrm{,(stat)} pm 0.03mathrm{,(syst)} , . end{eqnarray*} No significant signals are seen for $Lambda^0_{b} rightarrow K^0_{rmscriptscriptstyle S}p K^{-}$ decays, $Xi^{0}_{b}$ decays to both the $K^0_{rmscriptscriptstyle S}p pi^{-}$ and $K^0_{rmscriptscriptstyle S}p K^{-}$ final states, and the $Lambda^0_{b} rightarrow D^{-}_{s} (rightarrow K^0_{rmscriptscriptstyle S} K^{-}) p$ decay, and upper limits on their branching fractions are reported.
Decays of Bs and B0 mesons into J/psi pi +pi -pi +pi - final states, produced in pp collisions at the LHC, are investigated using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3/fb collected with the LHCb detector. B^0_(s) -> Jpsi f_1(1285) decay s are seen for the first time, and the branching fractions are measured. Using these rates, the f_1(1285) mixing angle between strange and non-strange components of its wave function in the q-qbar structure model is determined to be pm (24.0^{+3.1+0.6}_{-2.6-0.8}) degrees. Implications on the possible tetraquark nature of the f_1(1285) are discussed.
We report a measurement of the branching fraction of the decay $B^0_sto J/psi,phi(1020)$, evidence and a branching fraction measurement for $B^0_sto J/psi,f_2(1525)$, and the determination of the total $B^0_sto J/psi,K^+K^-$ branching fraction, inclu ding the resonant and non-resonant contributions to the $K^+K^-$ channel. We also determine the $S$-wave contribution within the $phi(1020)$ mass region. The absolute branching fractions are $mathcal{B}[B^0_sto J/psi,phi(1020)]=(1.25 pm 0.07left(mathrm{stat}right)pm 0.08left(mathrm{syst}right)pm 0.22left(f_sright))times 10^{-3}$, $mathcal{B}[B^0_sto J/psi,f_2(1525)]=(0.26pm 0.06left(mathrm{stat}right)pm 0.02left(mathrm{syst}right) pm 0.05left(f_sright))times 10^{-3}$ and $mathcal{B}[B^0_sto J/psi,K^+K^-] = (1.01pm 0.09left(mathrm{stat}right) pm 0.10left(mathrm{syst}right)pm 0.18left(f_sright))times 10^{-3}$, where the last systematic error is due to the branching fraction of $bbar{b}to B^{(*)}_s B^{(*)}_s$. The branching fraction ratio is found to be $mathcal{B}[B^0_sto J/psi,f_2(1525)]/mathcal{B}[B^0_sto J/psi,phi(1020)]=(21.5pm 4.9left(mathrm{stat}right) pm2.6left(mathrm{syst}right))%$. All results are based on a 121.4 fb$^{-1}$ data sample collected at the $Upsilon(5S)$ resonance by the Belle experiment at the KEKB asymmetric-energy $e^+e^-$ collider.
