Measurement of branching fractions and $C\!P$ asymmetries in $\mathit{\Lambda}_b^0(\mathit{\Xi}_b^0)\!\to pK_{\mathrm S}^0h^-$ decays / LHCb Collaboration
A study of $\mathit{\Lambda}_b^0$ and $\mathit{\Xi}_b^0$ baryon decays to the final states $pK_{\mathrm S}^0\pi^-$ and $pK_{\mathrm S}^0K^-$ is performed using $pp$ collision data collected by the LHCb experiment, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $9\,\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$. The decays $\mathit{\Lambda}_b^0\!\to pK_{\mathrm S}^0K^-$ and $\mathit{\Xi}_b^0\!\to pK_{\mathrm S}^0K^-$ are observed for the first time, with significances reaching eight standard deviations.

Improved measurement of $\eta / \eta^{\prime}$ mixing in $B^{0}_{(s)} \rightarrow J/\psi \eta^{(\prime)}$ decays / LHCb Collaboration
Branching fraction ratios between the decays $B^{0}_{(s)} \rightarrow J/\psi \eta^{(\prime)}$ are measured using proton-proton collision data collected by the LHCb experiment at centre-of-mass energies of 7, 8 and 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9 fb$^{-1}$. The measured ratios of these branching fractions are \[ \frac{BF(B^{0} \rightarrow J/\psi \eta^{\prime})}{BF(B^{0} \rightarrow J/\psi \eta)} = 0.48 \pm 0.06 \pm 0.02 \pm 0.01, \] \[\frac{BF(B^{0}_{s} \rightarrow J/\psi \eta^{\prime})}{BF(B^{0}_{s} \rightarrow J/\psi \eta)} = 0.80 \pm 0.02 \pm 0.02 \pm 0.01, \] where the uncertainties are statistical, systematic and related to the precision of the $\eta^{(\prime)}$ branching fractions, respectively.

Precision measurement of the ${\it{\Xi}}_b^0$ baryon lifetime / LHCb Collaboration
A sample of $pp$ collision data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.4 fb$^{-1}$ and collected by the LHCb experiment during LHC Run 2, is used to measure the ratio of the lifetime of the ${\it{\Xi}}_b^0$ baryon to that of the ${\it{\Lambda}}_b^0$ baryon, $r_{\tau}\equiv\tau_{{\it{\Xi}}_b^0}/\tau_{{\it{\Lambda}}_b^0}$. The value ${r_{\tau}^{\rm Run\,2}=1.004\pm0.009\pm0.006}$ is obtained, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic. [...]

First observation of the $\mathit{\Lambda}_b^{0}\!\rightarrow\mathit{\Lambda}_{c}^{+}D_{s}^{-}K^{+}K^{-}$ decay and search for pentaquarks in the $\mathit{\Lambda}_{c}^{+}D_{s}^{-}$ system / LHCb Collaboration
The $\mathit{\Lambda}_b^{0}\!\rightarrow\mathit{\Lambda}_{c}^{+}D_{s}^{-}K^{+}K^{-}$ decay is observed for the first time using the data sample from proton-proton collisions recorded at a center-of-mass energy of $13\,\text{TeV}$ with the LHCb detector, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $6\,\text{fb}^{-1}$. The ratio of branching fraction to that of $\mathit{\Lambda}_b^{0} \!\rightarrow\mathit{\Lambda}_{c}^{+}D_{s}^{-}$ decays is measured as $0.0141 \pm 0.0019 \pm 0.0012$, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic.

Measurement of the $\Omega_c^0$ and $\Xi_c^0$ baryon lifetimes using hadronic $b$-baryon decays / LHCb Collaboration
The lifetimes of the $\Omega_c^0$ and $\Xi_c^0$ baryons are measured using a $pp$ collision dataset collected by the LHCb experiment, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $9~\rm{fb^{-1}}$. The charm baryons are produced in the fully reconstructed decay chains $\Omega_b^- \rightarrow \Omega_c^0 (\rightarrow pK^-K^-\pi^+)~\pi^-$ and $\Xi_b^- \rightarrow \Xi_c^0 (\rightarrow pK^-K^-\pi^+)~\pi^-$.

Measurements of charmed meson and antimeson production asymmetries at $\sqrt{s} =13.6$ TeV / LHCb Collaboration
This article presents doubly differential measurements of the asymmetries in production rates between mesons containing a charm quark and those containing an anticharm quark in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s}=13.6$ TeV using data recorded by the LHCb experiment. The asymmetries of $D^0$, $D^+$ and $D_s^+$ mesons are measured for two-dimensional intervals in transverse momentum and pseudorapidity, within the range $2.5< p_T<25.0$ GeV$/c$ and $2.0<\eta<4.5$.

First measurement of $b$-jet mass with and without grooming / LHCb Collaboration
The LHCb collaboration presents a novel suite of heavy-flavour jet substructure measurements at forward rapidity in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s} = 13$ TeV. The jet mass is a perturbatively calculable probe of the virtuality of hard-scattered quarks and gluons, connecting small-distance quantum chromodynamics (QCD) with long-distance experimental measurement.

Measurement of the branching fraction ratio $R_K$ at large dilepton invariant mass / LHCb Collaboration
A test of lepton universality between muons and electrons is performed using $B^+ \rightarrow K^+\ell^+\ell^-$ decays (where $\ell = e$, $\mu$), in the dilepton invariant-mass-squared region above 14.3 GeV$^2/c^4$. The data used for the measurement consists of beauty meson decays produced in proton-proton collisions, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $9\,$fb$^1$, collected by the LHCb experiment between 2011 and 2018.
