A search for the nonresonant $\Lambda_c^+ \to p \mu^+ \mu^-$ decay is performed using proton-proton collision data recorded at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV by the LHCb experiment, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.4 fb$^{-1}$. No evidence for the decay is found in the dimuon invariant-mass regions where the expected contributions of resonances is subdominant. [...]

Precision measurement of the $\Xi_b^-$ baryon lifetime / LHCb Collaboration
A sample of $pp$ collision data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.5 fb$^{-1}$ and collected by the LHCb experiment during Run 2, is used to measure the ratio of the lifetime of the $\Xi^-_b$ baryon to that of the $\Lambda^0_b$ baryon, $r_{\tau}\equiv\tau_{\Xi^-_b}/\tau_{\Lambda^0_b}$. The value ${r_{\tau}^{\rm Run\,2}=1.076\pm0.013\pm0.006}$ is obtained, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic. [...]

Amplitude analysis of the radiative decay $B^0_s\to K^+K^-\gamma$ / LHCb Collaboration
A search for radiative decay of $B^0_s$ mesons to orbitally excited $K^+K^-$ states is performed using proton proton collisions recorded by the \mbox{LHCb}\xspace experiment, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9 fb$^{-1}$. The dikaon spectrum in the mass range $m_{KK}<2400\ \text{MeV/}c^2$ is dominated by the $\phi(1020)$ resonance that accounts for almost 70$\%$ of the decay rate. [...]

Transverse polarization measurement of Λ hyperons in pNe collisions at $ \sqrt{{\textrm{s}}_{\textrm{NN}}} $ = 68.4 GeV with the LHCb detector / LHCb Collaboration
A measurement of the transverse polarization of the $\Lambda$ and $\bar{\Lambda}$hyperons in $p$Ne fixed-target collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$=68.4 GeV is presented using data collected by the LHCb detector. The polarization is studied using the decay $\Lambda \rightarrow p \pi^-$ together with its charge conjugated process, the integrated values measured are $$ P_{\Lambda} = 0.029 \pm 0.019 \, (\rm{stat}) \pm 0.012 \, (\rm{syst}) \, , $$ $$ P_{\bar{\Lambda}} = 0.003 \pm 0.023 \, (\rm{stat}) \pm 0.014 \,(\rm{syst}) \, $$ Furthermore, the results are shown as a function of the Feynman $x$ variable, transverse momentum, pseudorapidity and rapidity of the hyperons, and are compared with previous measurements..

A measurement of time-dependent $CP$ violation in $D^0 \rightarrow \pi^+ \pi^- \pi^0$ decays using a $pp$ collision data sample collected by the LHCb experiment in 2012 and from 2015 to 2018, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 7.7$\,\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$, is presented. The initial flavour of each $D^0$ candidate is determined from the charge of the pion produced in the $D^*(2010)^+ \rightarrow D^0 \pi^+$ decay. [...]

First observation of $Λ_{b}^{0} \rightarrow Σ_c^{(*)++} D^{(*)-} K^{-}$ decays / LHCb Collaboration
The four decays, $\Lambda_{b}^{0} \rightarrow \Sigma_c^{(*)++} D^{(*)-} K^{-}$, are observed for the first time using proton-proton collision data collected with the LHCb detector at a centre-of-mass energy of $13\,\rm{TeV}$, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $6\,\rm{fb}^{-1}$. By considering the $\Lambda_b^0 \rightarrow \Lambda_c^{+} \overline{D}^0 K^{-}$ decay as reference channel, the following branching fraction ratios are measured to be, $$\frac{\cal{B} (\Lambda_{b}^{0} \rightarrow \Sigma_{c}^{++} \rm{D}^{-} {K}^{-})}{\cal{B}(\Lambda_{b}^{0} \rightarrow \Lambda_c^{+} \rm \overline{D}^0 {K}^{-})} = {0.282}\pm{0.016}\pm{0.016}\pm{0.005},\\ \frac{\cal{B}(\Lambda_{b}^{0} \rightarrow \Sigma_{c}^{*++} \rm {D}^{-} {K}^{-})}{\cal{B}(\Lambda_{b}^{0} \rightarrow \Sigma_c^{++} \rm {D}^{-} {K}^{-})} = {0.460}\pm{0.052}\pm{0.028},\\ \frac{\cal{B}(\Lambda_{b}^{0} \rightarrow \Sigma_{c}^{++} \rm {D}^{*-} {K}^{-})}{\cal{B}(\Lambda_{b}^{0} \rightarrow \Sigma_c^{++} \rm {D}^{-} {K}^{-})} = {2.261}\pm{0.202}\pm{0.129}\pm{0.046},\\ \frac{\cal{B}(\Lambda_{b}^{0} \rightarrow \Sigma_{c}^{*++} \rm D^{*-} K^{-})}{\cal{B}(\Lambda_{b}^{0} \rightarrow \Sigma_c^{++} \rm D^{-} K^{-})} = {0.896}\pm{0.137}\pm{0.066}\pm{0.018},$$ where the first uncertainties are statistical, the second are systematic, and the third are due to uncertainties in the branching fractions of intermediate particle decays.
