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 luminosity 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.

Simulation studies are performed to assess the sensitivity of a model-independent analysis of the flavour-tagged decays $D^0 to K^0_{rm S}pi^+pi^-$ and $D^0 to K^0_{rm S}K^+K^-$ to mixing and CP violation. The analysis takes as input measurements of the $D$ decay strong-phase parameters that are accessible in quantum-correlated $D-bar{D}$ pairs produced at the $psi(3770)$ resonance. It is shown that the model-independent approach is well suited to the very large data sets expected at an upgraded LHCb experiment, or future high luminosity $e^+e^-$ facility, and that with 100M $K^0_{rm S}pi^+pi^-$ decays a statistical precision of around 0.01 and $0.7^circ$ is achievable on the CP violation parameters $r_{CP}$ and $a_{CP}$, respectively. Even with this very large sample the systematic uncertainties associated with the strong-phase parameters will not be limiting, assuming that full use is made of the available $psi(3770)$ data sets of CLEO-c and BES-III. Furthermore, it is demonstrated that large flavour-tagged samples can themselves be exploited to provide information on the strong-phase parameters, a feature that will be beneficial in the measurement of the CKM angle $gamma/phi_3$ with $B^- to DK^-$ decays.
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.
A search for CP violation in Cabibbo-suppressed $D^{pm}rightarrow K^0_{mathrm{S}} K^{pm}$ and $D^{pm}_{s}rightarrow K^0_{mathrm{S}} pi^{pm}$ decays is performed using $pp$ collision data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3~fb$^{-1}$, reco rded by the LHCb experiment. The individual $CP$-violating asymmetries are measured to be begin{eqnarray*} mathcal{A}_{CP}^{D^{pm}rightarrow K^0_{mathrm{S}} K^{pm}} & = & (+0.03 pm 0.17 pm 0.14) % mathcal{A}_{CP}^{D^{pm}_{s}rightarrow K^0_{mathrm{S}} pi^{pm}} & = & (+0.38 pm 0.46 pm 0.17) %, end{eqnarray*} assuming that $CP$ violation in the Cabibbo-favoured decays is negligible. A combination of the measured asymmetries for the four decay modes $D^{pm}_{(s)}rightarrow K^0_{mathrm{S}} K^{pm}$ and $D^{pm}_{(s)}rightarrow K^0_{mathrm{S}} pi^{pm}$ gives the sum [ mathcal{A}_{CP}^{D^{pm}rightarrow K^0_{mathrm{S}} K^{pm}} + mathcal{A}_{CP}^{D^{pm}_{s}rightarrow K^0_{mathrm{S}} pi^{pm}} = (+0.41 pm 0.49 pm 0.26) %. ] In all cases, the first uncertainties are statistical and the second systematic. The results represent the most precise measurements of these asymmetries to date and show no evidence for CP violation.
A search is performed for $D^{(*)+}_{sJ}$ mesons in the reactions $pp to D^{*+} K^0_{rm S} X$ and $pp to D^{*0} K^+ X$ using data collected at centre-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV with the LHCb detector. For the $D^{*+} K^0_{rm S}$ final state, the decays $D^{*+} to D^0 pi^+$ with $D^0 to K^- pi^+$ and $D^0 to K^- pi^+ pi^+ pi^-$ are used. For $D^{*0} K^+$, the decay $D^{*0} to D^0 pi^0$ with $D^0 to K^- pi^+$ is used. A prominent $D_{s1}(2536)^+$ signal is observed in both $D^{*+} K^0_{rm S}$ and $D^{*0} K^+$ final states. The resonances $D^*_{s1}(2700)^+$ and $D^*_{s3}(2860)^+$ are also observed, yielding information on their properties, including spin-parity assignments. The decay $D^*_{s2}(2573)^+ to D^{*+} K^0_{rm S}$ is observed for the first time, at a significance of 6.9 $sigma$, and its branching fraction relative to the $D^*_{s2}(2573)^+ to D^+ K^0_{rm S}$ decay mode is measured.
A first study of CP violation in the decay modes $B^pmto [K^0_{rm S} K^pm pi^mp]_D h^pm$ and $B^pmto [K^0_{rm S} K^mp pi^pm]_D h^pm$, where $h$ labels a $K$ or $pi$ meson and $D$ labels a $D^0$ or $overline{D}^0$ meson, is performed. The analysis use s the LHCb data set collected in $pp$ collisions, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3 fb$^{-1}$. The analysis is sensitive to the CP-violating CKM phase $gamma$ through seven observables: one charge asymmetry in each of the four modes and three ratios of the charge-integrated yields. The results are consistent with measurements of $gamma$ using other decay modes.
