 Precision measurement of the mass and lifetime of the $\Xi_b^0$ baryon / LHCb collaboration Using a proton-proton collision data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3 fb$^{-1}$ collected by LHCb at center-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV, about 3800 $\Xi_b^0\to\Xi_c^+\pi^-$, $\Xi_c^+\to pK^-\pi^+$ signal decays are reconstructed. From this sample, the first measurement of the $\Xi_b^0$ baryon lifetime is made, relative to that of the $\Lambda_b^0$ baryon.

 Constraints on the Higgs boson width from off-shell production and decay to Z-boson pairs / CMS Collaboration Constraints are presented on the total width of the recently discovered Higgs boson, Gamma_H, using its relative on-shell and off-shell production and decay rates to a pair of Z bosons, where one Z boson decays to an electron or muon pair, and the other to an electron, muon, or neutrino pair. The analysis is based on the data collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC in 2011 and 2012, corresponding to integrated luminosities of 5.1 inverse-femtobarns at a centre-of-mass energy $\sqrt{s}$ = 7 TeV and 19.7 inverse-femtobarns at $\sqrt{s}$ = 8 TeV.

 Monitoring and data quality assessment of the ATLAS liquid argon calorimeter / ATLAS Collaboration The liquid argon calorimeter is a key component of the ATLAS detector installed at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. The primary purpose of this calorimeter is the measurement of electrons and photons. [...] arXiv:1405.3768; CERN-PH-EP-2014-045.- Geneva : CERN, 2014 - 39 p. - Published in : J.

 Measurement of $CP$ asymmetry in $D^0 \rightarrow K^- K^+$ and $D^0 \rightarrow \pi^- \pi^+$ decays / LHCb collaboration Time-integrated $CP$ asymmetries in $D^0$ decays to the final states $K^- K^+$ and $\pi^- \pi^+$ are measured using proton-proton collisions corresponding to $3\mathrm{\,fb}^{-1}$ of integrated luminosity collected at centre-of-mass energies of $7\mathrm{\,Te\kern -0.1em V}$ and $8\mathrm{\,Te\kern -0.1em V}$. The $D^0$ mesons are produced in semileptonic $b$-hadron decays, where the charge of the accompanying muon is used to determine the initial flavour of the charm meson.

 Measurement of the $\Xi_b^-$ and $\Omega_b^-$ baryon lifetimes / LHCb collaboration Using a data sample of pp collisions corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $3~ \rm fb^{-1}$, the $\Xi_b^-$ and $\Omega_b^-$ baryons are reconstructed in the $\Xi_b^- \rightarrow J/\psi \Xi^-$ and $\Omega_b^- \rightarrow J/\psi \Omega^-$ decay modes and their lifetimes measured to be $\tau (\Xi_b^-) = 1.55\, ^{+0.10}_{-0.09}~{\rm(stat)} \pm 0.03\,{\rm(syst)}$ ps, $\tau (\Omega_b^-) = 1.54\, ^{+0.26}_{-0.21}~{\rm(stat)} \pm 0.05\,{\rm(syst)}$ ps. These are the most precise determinations to date. [...] arXiv:1405.1543; CERN-PH-EP-2014-081; LHCB-PAPER-2014-010.- Geneva : CERN, 2014 - 13 p. - Published in : Phys. Lett.

 Measurement of the resonant and CP components in $\overline{B}^0\rightarrow J/\psi \pi^+\pi^-$ decays / LHCb Collaboration The resonant structure of the reaction $\overline{B}^0\rightarrow J/\psi \pi^+\pi^-$ is studied using data from 3 fb$^{-1}$ of integrated luminosity collected by the LHCb experiment, one-third at 7 Tev center-of-mass energy and the remainder at 8 Tev. The invariant mass of the $\pi^+\pi^-$ pair and three decay angular distributions are used to determine the fractions of the resonant and non-resonant components.

 Measurement of the ratio $B(t \to Wb)/B(t \to Wq)$ in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 8 TeV / CMS Collaboration The ratio of the top-quark branching fractions $R = B(t \to Wb)/B(t \to Wq)$, where the denominator includes the sum over all down-type quarks (q = b, s, d), is measured in the $t\bar{t}$ dilepton final state with proton-proton collision data at $\sqrt{s}$ = 8 TeV from an integrated luminosity of 19.7 inverse-femtobarns, collected with the CMS detector. In order to quantify the purity of the signal sample, the cross section is measured by fitting the observed jet multiplicity, thereby constraining the signal and background contributions.

 Electron reconstruction and identification efficiency measurements with the ATLAS detector using the 2011 LHC proton-proton collision data / ATLAS Collaboration The electron reconstruction and identification efficiencies of the ATLAS detector at the LHC have been evaluated using proton-proton collision data collected in 2011 at $\sqrt{s}$ = 7 TeV and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.7 fb$^{-1}$. Tag-and-probe methods using events with leptonic decays of $W$ and $Z$ bosons and $J/\psi$ mesons are employed to benchmark these performance parameters.

 Observation of the resonant character of the $Z(4430)^-$ state / LHCb collaboration Resonant structures in $B^0\to\psi'\pi^-K^+$ decays are analyzed by performing a four-dimensional fit of the decay amplitude, using $pp$ collision data corresponding to $\rm 3 fb^{-1}$ collected with the LHCb detector. The data cannot be described with $K^+\pi^-$ resonances alone, which is confirmed with a model-independent approach.

 Measurement of the low-mass Drell--Yan differential cross section at √s = 7 TeV using the ATLAS detector / ATLAS Collaboration The differential cross section for the process $Z/\gamma^*\rightarrow \ell\ell$ ($\ell=e,\mu$) as a function of dilepton invariant mass is measured in $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=7$ TeV at the LHC using the ATLAS detector. The measurement is performed in the $e$ and $\mu$ channels for invariant masses between $26$ GeV and $66$ GeV using an integrated luminosity of $1.6$ fb$^{-1}$ collected in 2011 and these measurements are combined.
