A four-body amplitude analysis of the $B^- to D^{*+} pi^- pi^-$ decay is performed, where fractions and relative phases of the various resonances contributing to the decay are measured. Several quasi-model-independent analyses are performed aimed at searching for the presence of new states and establishing the quantum numbers of previously observed charmed meson resonances. In particular the resonance parameters and quantum numbers are determined for the $D_1(2420)$, $D_1(2430)$, $D_0(2550)$, $D^*_1(2600)$, $D_2(2740)$ and $D^*_3(2750)$ states. The mixing between the $D_1(2420)$ and $D_1(2430)$ resonances is studied and the mixing parameters are measured. The dataset corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 4.7 $fb^{-1}$, collected in proton-proton collisions at center-of-mass energies of 7, 8 and 13 TeV with the LHCb detector.

Observations are reported of different sources of $CP$ violation from an amplitude analysis of $B^+ to pi^+ pi^+ pi^-$ decays, based on a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $3 ; {rm fb}^{-1}$ of $pp$ collisions recorded with the LHCb detector. A large $CP$ asymmetry is observed in the decay amplitude involving the tensor $f_2(1270)$ resonance, and in addition significant $CP$ violation is found in the $pi^+ pi^-$ S-wave at low invariant mass. The presence of $CP$ violation related to interference between the $pi^+ pi^-$ S-wave and the P-wave $B^+ to rho(770)^0 pi^+$ amplitude is also established; this causes large local asymmetries but cancels when integrated over the phase space of the decay. The results provide both qualitative and quantitative new insights into $CP$-violation effects in hadronic $B$ decays.
The Dalitz plot analysis technique is used to study the resonant substructures of $B^{-} to D^{+} pi^{-} pi^{-}$ decays in a data sample corresponding to 3.0 ${rm fb}^{-1}$ of $pp$ collision data recorded by the LHCb experiment during 2011 and 2012. A model-independent analysis of the angular moments demonstrates the presence of resonances with spins 1, 2 and 3 at high $D^{+}pi^{-}$ mass. The data are fitted with an amplitude model composed of a quasi-model-independent function to describe the $D^{+}pi^{-}$ S-wave together with virtual contributions from the $D^{*}(2007)^{0}$ and $B^{*0}$ states, and components corresponding to the $D^{*}_{2}(2460)^{0}$, $D^{*}_{1}(2680)^{0}$, $D^{*}_{3}(2760)^{0}$ and $D^{*}_{2}(3000)^{0}$ resonances. The masses and widths of these resonances are determined together with the branching fractions for their production in $B^{-} to D^{+} pi^{-} pi^{-}$ decays. The $D^{+}pi^{-}$ S-wave has phase motion consistent with that expected due to the presence of the $D^{*}_{0}(2400)^{0}$ state. These results constitute the first observations of the $D^{*}_{3}(2760)^{0}$ and $D^{*}_{2}(3000)^{0}$ resonances.
We report a study of the suppressed $B^-to DK^-pi^+pi^-$ and favored $B^-to Dpi^-pi^+pi^-$ decays, where the neutral $D$ meson is detected through its decays to the $K^{mp}pi^{pm}$ and CP-even $K^+K^-$ and $pi^+pi^-$ final states. The measurement is carried out using a proton-proton collision data sample collected by the LHCb experiment, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.0~fb$^{-1}$. We observe the first significant signals in the CP-even final states of the $D$ meson for both the suppressed $B^-to DK^-pi^+pi^-$ and favored $B^-to Dpi^-pi^+pi^-$ modes, as well as in the doubly Cabibbo-suppressed $Dto K^+pi^-$ final state of the $B^-to Dpi^-pi^+pi^-$ decay. Evidence for the ADS suppressed decay $B^{-}to DK^-pi^+pi^-$, with $Dto K^+pi^-$, is also presented. From the observed yields in the $B^-to DK^-pi^+pi^-$, $B^-to Dpi^-pi^+pi^-$ and their charge conjugate decay modes, we measure the value of the weak phase to be $gamma=(74^{+20}_{-19})^{rm o}$. This is one of the most precise single-measurement determinations of $gamma$ to date.
Using $pp$ collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $5.4,{rm fb}^{-1}$ collected with the LHCb detector at a center-of-mass energy of $13,{rm TeV}$, the $B^0to D^-D^+K^+pi^-$ decay is studied. A new excited $D_s^+$ meson is observe d decaying into the $D^+K^+pi^-$ final state with large statistical significance. The pole mass and width, and the spin-parity of the new state are measured with an amplitude analysis to be $m_R=2591pm6pm7,{rm MeV}$, $Gamma_R=89pm16pm12,{rm MeV}$ and $J^P=0^-$, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic. Fit fractions for all components in the amplitude analysis are also reported. The new resonance, denoted as $D_{s0}(2590)^+$, is a strong candidate to be the $D_s(2^1{S}_0)^+$ state, the radial excitation of the pseudoscalar ground-state $D_s^+$ meson.
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.
