Abstract Two new algorithms for use in the analysis of $$pp$$ p p collision are developed to identify the flavour of $${\mathrm {B}} ^0$$ B 0 mesons at production using pions and protons from the ...hadronization process. The algorithms are optimized and calibrated on data, using $${{\mathrm {B}} ^0} \!\rightarrow D^{-}\pi ^{+}$$ B 0 → D - π + decays from $$pp$$ p p collision data collected by LHCb at centre-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV . The tagging power of the new pion algorithm is 60% greater than the previously available one; the algorithm using protons to identify the flavour of a $${\mathrm {B}} ^0$$ B 0 meson is the first of its kind.

The $B_s^0\pi^\pm$ invariant mass distribution is investigated in order to search for possible exotic meson states. The analysis is based on a data sample recorded with the LHCb detector ...corresponding to $3$ fb$^{-1}$ of $pp$ collision data at $\sqrt{s} = 7$ and $8$ TeV. No significant excess is found, and upper limits are set on the production rate of the claimed $X(5568)$ state. Upper limits are also set as a function of the mass and width of a possible exotic meson decaying to the $B_s^0\pi^\pm$ final state.
A search for $B_s^0 \to \overline{D}^{0} f_{0}(980)$ decays is performed using $3.0\, {\rm fb}^{-1}$ of $pp$ collision data recorded by the LHCb experiment during 2011 and 2012. The $f_{0}(980)$ ...meson is reconstructed through its decay to the $\pi^{+}\pi^{-}$ final state in the mass window $900\, {\rm MeV}/c^{2} < m(\pi^{+}\pi^{-}) < 1080\, {\rm MeV}/c^{2}$. No significant signal is observed. The first upper limits on the branching fraction of $\mathcal{B}(B_s^0 \to \overline{D}^{0} f_{0}(980)) < 3.1\,(3.4) \times 10^{-6}$ are set at $90\,\%$ ($95\,\%$) confidence level.

The product of the ∧0/b （-B/0） differential production cross-section and the branching fraction of the decay ∧0/b→ J/ψ pK-（-B/0→ J/ψ-K＊（892）0）is measured as a function of the beauty hadron transverse ...momentum, PT, and rapidity, y. The kinematic region of the measurements is pT〈20 GeV/c and 2.0 〈g〈4.5.The measurements use a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3fb-1 collected by the LHCb detector in pp collisions at centre-of-mass energies √s=7 TeV in 2011 and √s=8 TeV in 2012. Based on previous LHCb results of the fragmentation fraction ratio,f∧0/b/fd,the branching fraction of the decay ∧0/b→ J/ψ pK-is measured to be B（∧0/b→ J/ψ pK-）=（3.17±0.04±0.07±0.34＋0.45/-0.28）×10-4,where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second is systematic, the third is due to the uncertainty on the branching fraction of the decay -B/0 →J/ψ-K＊（892）0,and the fourth is due to the knowledge of f∧0/b/fd.The sum of the asymmetries in the production and decay between ∧0/b and ∧0/bis also measured as a function of PT and y.The previously published branching fraction of ∧0/b→ J/ψ pπ-,relative to that of ∧0/b→ J/ψ pK-,is updated. The branching fractions of ∧0/b→P＋c（→ J/ψp）K-are determined.
The ratio of branching fractions of the radiative B decays B0 -> K*0 gamma and Bs0 phi gamma has been measured using an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb-1 of pp collision data collected by the LHCb ...experiment at a centre-of-mass energy of sqrt(s)=7 TeV. The value obtained is BR(B0 -> K*0 gamma)/BR(Bs0 -> phi gamma) = 1.23 +/- 0.06(stat.) +/- 0.04(syst.) +/- 0.10(fs/fd), where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second is the experimental systematic uncertainty and the third is associated with the ratio of fragmentation fractions fs/fd. Using the world average value for BR(B0 -> K*0 gamma), the branching fraction BR(Bs0 -> phi gamma) is measured to be (3.5 +/- 0.4) x 10^{-5}. The direct CP asymmetry in B0 -> K*0 gamma decays has also been measured with the same data and found to be A(CP)(B0 -> K*0 gamma) = (0.8 +/- 1.7(stat.) +/- 0.9(syst.))%. Both measurements are the most precise to date and are in agreement with the previous experimental results and theoretical expectations.
A search for charmless three-body decays of B0 and B0s mesons with a KS0 meson in the final state is performed using the pp collision data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0 /fb, ...collected at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV recorded by the LHCb experiment. Branching fractions of the B0(s) -> KS0 h+ h'- decay modes (h(') = \pi, K), relative to the well measured B0 -> KS0 \pi+ \pi- decay, are obtained. First observation of the decay modes B0s -> KS0 K+/- \pi-/+ and B0s -> KS0 \pi+ \pi- and confirmation of the decay B0 -> KS0 K+/- \pi-/+ are reported. The following relative branching fraction measurements or limits are obtained BF(B0 -> KS0 K+/- \pi-/+) / BF(B0 -> KS0 \pi+ \pi-) = 0.128 +/- 0.017 (stat.) +/- 0.009 (syst.), BF(B0 -> KS0 K+ K-) / BF(B0 -> KS0 \pi+ \pi-) = 0.385 +/- 0.031 (stat.) +/- 0.023 (syst.), BF(B0s -> KS0 \pi+ \pi-) / BF(B0 -> KS0 \pi+ \pi-) = 0.29 \pm 0.06 (stat.) +/- 0.03 (syst.) +/- 0.02 (f_s/f_d), BF(B0s -> KS0 K+/- \pi-/+) / BF(B0 -> KS0 \pi+ \pi-) = 1.48 +/- 0.12 (stat.) +/- 0.08 (syst.) +/- 0.12 (f_s/f_d), BF(B0s -> KS0 K+ K-) / BF(B0 -> KS0 \pi+ \pi-) E 0.004;0.068 at 90% CL.
A study of $D^+\pi^-$, $D^0 \pi^+$ and $D^{*+}\pi^-$ final states is performed using pp collision data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0 $fb^{-1}$, collected at a centre-of-mass ...energy of 7 TeV with the LHCb detector. The $D_1(2420)^0$ resonance is observed in the $D^{*+}\pi^-$ final state and the $D^*_2(2460)$ resonance is observed in the $D^+\pi^-$, $D^0 \pi^+$ and $D^{*+}\pi^-$ final states. For both resonances, their properties and spin-parity assignments are obtained. In addition, two natural parity and two unnatural parity resonances are observed in the mass region between 2500 and 2800 MeV. Further structures in the region around 3000 MeV are observed in all the $D^{*+}\pi^-$, $D^+\pi^-$ and $D^0 \pi^+$ final states.
The results of searches for B0(s) -> J/{\psi} p pbar and B+ -> J/{\psi} p pbar {\pi}+ decays are reported. The analysis is based on a data sample, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0 ...fb^-1 of pp collisions, collected with the LHCb detector. An excess with 2.8 {\sigma} significance is seen for the decay B0s -> J/{\psi} p pbar and an upper limit on the branching fraction is set at the 90 % confidence level: B(B0s -> J/{\psi} p pbar) < 4.8 x 10^-6, which is the first such limit. No significant signals are seen for B0 -> J/{\psi} p pbar and B+ -> J/{\psi} p pbar {\pi}+ decays, for which the corresponding limits are set: B(B0 -> J/{\psi} p pbar) < 5.2 x 10^-7, which significantly improves the existing limit; and B(B+ -> J/{\psi} p pbar {\pi}+) < 5.0 x 10^-7, which is the first limit on this branching fraction.
