Observation of the decay $B_s^0 \to K_S^0 p \bar{p}$ and measurement of the $B_{(s)}^0 \to K_S^0 p\bar{p}$ branching fraction / LHCb Collaboration
A study of the charmless baryonic decays $B^0_{(s)}\rightarrow K^0 p \bar{p}$ is presented, where $B^0_{(s)}$ denotes either a $B^0$ or a $B^0_s$ meson. The analysis is based on proton-proton collision data collected by the LHCb experiment at centre-of-mass energies of 7, 8, and $13~\mathrm{Tev}$, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $9~\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$.

Branching fraction measurement of the decay $B^+ \to \psi(2S) \phi(1020) K^+$ / LHCb Collaboration
The branching fraction of the decay $B^+\to \psi(2S)\phi(1020)K^+$, relative to the topologically similar decay $B^+\to J/\psi \phi(1020) K^+$, is measured using proton-proton collision data collected by the LHCb experiment at center-of-mass energies of 7, 8, and 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $9\,\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$. The ratio is found to be $0.061 \pm 0.004 \pm 0.009$, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic. [...]

Measurement of the multiplicity dependence of $\mitΥ$ production ratios in $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV / LHCb Collaboration
The $\mit{\Upsilon}(\mathrm{2}S)$ and $\mit{\Upsilon}(\mathrm{3}S)$ production cross-sections are measured relative to that of the $\mit{\Upsilon}(\mathrm{1}S)$ meson, as a function of charged-particle multiplicity in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of $13$ TeV.

Search for resonance-enhanced $CP$ and angular asymmetries in the $\Lambda^+_c\to p\mu^+\mu^-$ decay at LHCb / LHCb Collaboration
The first measurement of the $CP$ asymmetry of the decay rate ($A_{CP}$) and the $CP$ average ($\Sigma A_{\text{FB}}$) and $CP$ asymmetry ($\Delta A_{\text{FB}}$) of the forward-backward asymmetry in the muon system of $\mathit{\Lambda}^+_c\to p\mu^+\mu^-$ decays is reported. The measurement is performed using a data sample of proton-proton collisions, recorded by the LHCb experiment from 2016 to 2018 at a center-of-mass energy of 13$\text{ TeV}$, which corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 5.4$\text{ fb}^{-1}$.

Evidence for $B^-\rightarrow D^{**0}\tau^-\overline{\nu}_{\tau}$ decays / LHCb Collaboration
The first evidence for the decay $B^-\rightarrow D^{**0}\tau^-\overline{\nu}_{\tau}$ is obtained using proton-proton collision data collected by the LHCb experiment, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9 fb$^{-1}$ , at centre-of-mass energies of 7, 8 and 13 Tev. Here, the $D^{**0}$ meson represents any of the three excited charm mesons $D_{1}(2420)^{0}$, $D_{2}^{*}(2460)^{0}$, and $D_{1}^{'}(2400)^{0}$. [...]

Search for charge-parity violation in semileptonically tagged $D^{0} \to K^{+} \pi^{-}$ decays / LHCb Collaboration
An analysis of the flavour oscillations of the charmed neutral meson is presented. The ratio of ${D^{0} \to K^{+} \pi^{-}}$ and ${D^{0} \to K^{-} \pi^{+}}$ decay rates is measured as a function of the decay time of the $D^{0}$ meson and compared with the charge-conjugated system to search for charge-parity violation.

Study of light-meson resonances decaying to $K^0_{\rm S} K \pi$ in the $B \to (K^0_{\rm S} K \pi) K$ channels / LHCb Collaboration
A study is presented of $B^+ \to K^0_{\rm S} K^- \pi^+ K^-$ and $B^+ \to K^0_{\rm S} K^+ \pi^- K^+$ decays based on the analysis of proton-proton collision data collected with the LHCb detector at centre-of-mass energies of 7, 8 and 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $9 fb^{-1}$. The $K^0_{\rm S} K \pi$ invariant-mass distributions of both $B^+$ decay modes show, in the $m(K^0_{\rm S} K \pi)<1.85$ GeV mass region, a rich spectrum of light-meson resonances, resolved using an amplitude analysis.

Measurement of $C\!P$ asymmetries in $\Lambda_b^0\to ph^-$ decays / LHCb Collaboration
A search for $CP$ violation in $\Lambda_b^0\rightarrow pK^-$ and $\Lambda_b^0\rightarrow p\pi^-$ decays is presented using the full Run 1 and Run 2 data samples of $pp$ collisions collected with the LHCb detector, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9 $\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ at center-of-mass energies of 7, 8, and 13 TeV. For the Run 2 data sample, the $CP$-violating asymmetries are measured to be $A_{CP}^{pK^-} = (-1.4 \pm 0.7 \pm 0.4)\%$ and $A_{CP}^{p\pi^-} = (0.4 \pm 0.9 \pm 0.4)\%$, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic.
