Search for charge-parity violation in semileptonically tagged D0K+πD0K+π decays / LHCb Collaboration
An analysis of the flavour oscillations of the charmed neutral meson is presented. The ratio of D0K+πD0K+π and D0Kπ+D0Kπ+ decay rates is measured as a function of the decay time of the D0D0 meson and compared with the charge-conjugated system to search for charge-parity violation. [...]

First evidence for direct CPCP violation in beauty to charmonium decays / LHCb Collaboration
The CPCP asymmetry and branching fraction of the CKM-suppressed decay B+Jψπ+B+Jψπ+ are precisely measured relative to the favoured decay B+JψK+B+JψK+, using a sample of proton-proton collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.4 fb15.4 fb1 recorded at center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV13 TeV during 2016-2018. The results of the CPCP asymmetry difference and branching fraction ratio are ΔACPACP(B+J/ψπ+)ACP(B+J/ψK+)=(1.29±0.49±0.08)×102, \begin{equation*} \mathcal{R}_{\pi/K} \equiv \frac{\mathcal{B}(B^+ \!\to J\mskip -3mu/\mskip -2mu\psi\,\pi^+)} {\mathcal{B}(B^+ \!\to J\mskip -3mu/\mskip -2mu\psi\,K^+)} = (3.852 \pm 0.022 \pm 0.018) \times 10^{-2}.

Measurement of the CKM angle γ in B±DK(892)± decays / LHCb Collaboration
Measurements of CP observables and the CKM angle γ are performed in B±DK(892)± decays, where D represents a superposition of D0 and ¯D0 states, using the LHCb dataset collected during Run 1 (2011-2012) and Run 2 (2015-2018). A comprehensive study of this channel is presented with the D meson reconstructed in two-body final states K±π, K+K and π+π; four-body final states K±ππ±π and π+ππ+π; and three-body final states K0Sπ+π and K0SK+K.
