Search for heavy neutral leptons in B-meson decays / LHCb Collaboration
A search for long-lived heavy neutral leptons produced in B-meson decays and decaying to a $\mu^\pm \pi^\mp$ final state is performed with data collected by the LHCb experiment in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $5\,\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$. The results are interpreted in both lepton-number-conserving and lepton-number-violating scenarios. [...]

Observation and investigation of the $T_{c\bar{c}1}(4430)^{+}$ structure in $B^{+} \to \psi(2S) K_{\text{S}}^{0} \pi^{+}$ decays / LHCb Collaboration
The first four-dimensional amplitude analysis of the $B^{+} \to \psi(2S) K_{\text{S}}^{0} \pi^{+}$ decay is performed with proton-proton collision data collected by the LHCb experiment at $\sqrt{s} = 13~\mathrm{TeV}$, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $5.4~\mathrm{fb^{-1}}$.

First observation of the $\bar{B}_{s}^0 \to \Lambda_c^+ \bar{\Lambda}_c^-$ decay and evidence for the $\bar{B}^0 \to \Lambda_c^+ \bar{\Lambda}_c^-$ decay / LHCb Collaboration
A search is presented for the two-body charmed baryonic decays $\overline{B}_{(s)}^{0}\toΛ_{c}^{+}\overlineΛ_{c}{}^{-}$, using a data sample collected by the LHCb experiment during 2011--2012 and 2015--2018 corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $9\,\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$. The first observation of the $\overline{B}_{s}^{0}\toΛ_{c}^{+}\overlineΛ_{c}{}^{-}$ decay is reported with $6.2σ$ significance, along with $4.3σ$ evidence for the $\overline{B}^{0}\toΛ_{c}^{+}\overlineΛ_{c}{}^{-}$ decay.

Measurement of the $W \to \mu\nu$ cross-sections as a function of the muon transverse momentum in $pp$ collisions at 5.02 TeV / LHCb Collaboration
The $pp \to W^{\pm} (\to \mu^{\pm} \nu_{\mu}) X$ cross-sections are measured at a proton-proton centre-of-mass energy $\sqrt{s} = 5.02$ TeV using a dataset corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 100 pb$^{-1}$ recorded by the LHCb experiment. Considering muons in the pseudorapidity range $2.2 < \eta < 4.4$, the cross-sections are measured differentially in twelve intervals of muon transverse momentum between $28 < p_\mathrm{T} < 52$ GeV.

First evidence of CP violation in beauty baryon to charmonium decays / LHCb Collaboration
A study of the difference in the $CP$ asymmetries between ${\Lambda}^0_b \rightarrow J / \psi p \pi^-$ and ${\Lambda}^0_b \rightarrow J / \psi p K^-$ decays, $\Delta {\cal A}_{CP}$, is performed using proton-proton collision data collected by the LHCb experiment in the years 2015-2018, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $6\,{\rm fb}^{-1}$. This quantity is measured to be $ \Delta {\cal A}_{CP}=(4.03\pm 1.18\pm 0.23)\%$, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. [...]

A model-independent measurement of the CKM angle $\gamma$ in the decays $B^\pm\to[K^+K^-\pi^+\pi^-]_D h^\pm$ and $B^\pm\to[\pi^+\pi^-\pi^+\pi^-]_D h^\pm$ ($h = K, \pi$) / LHCb Collaboration
A model-independent determination of the CKM angle $\gamma$ is presented, using the $B^\pm\to[K^+K^-\pi^+\pi^-]_D h^\pm$ and $B^\pm\to[\pi^+\pi^-\pi^+\pi^-]_D h^\pm$ decays, with $h=K,\pi$. This measurement is the first phase-space-binned study of these decay modes, and uses a sample of proton-proton collision data collected by the LHCb experiment, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $9$fb$^{-1}$ [...]

Inclusive $B$-meson flavour-tagging algorithm at LHCb / LHCb Collaboration
A new algorithm is developed to identify the flavour of neutral $B$ mesons at production in $pp$ collisions by utilising all tracks from the hadronisation process. The algorithm is calibrated separately for $B^0$ and $B^{0}_{s}$ mesons using $B^{0}\to J/\psi K^{+}\pi^-$ and $B^{0}_{s}\to D_{s}^{-}\pi^+$ decays from $pp$ collision data collected by the LHCb experiment at a centre-of-mass energy of 13\,TeV.
