We describe LHCb measurements for $D^0$--${\bar{D}}^0$ mixing parameters and searches for $CP$ violation using "wrong-sign" $D^0\to K^+\pi^-$ two-body decays. LHCb provides the world's most precise measurements of the mixing parameters to…

Motivated by experimental results on $\bar B\to D^{(*)}K^-K^{0}$, we use a factorization approach to study these decays. Two mechanisms concerning kaon pair production arise: current-produced (from vacuum) and transition (from the $B$…

We report a study of the decay $B^0\rightarrow D K^+\pi^-$ followed by $D\rightarrow K^-\pi^+$, where $D$ indicates $D^0$ or $\bar{D}^0$. We reconstruct the $D K^+\pi^-$ state in a phase space corresponding to $D K^{*}(892)^0$. The…

Cabibbo-allowed two-body hadronic weak decays of bottom baryons are analyzed. Contrary to the charmed baryon sector, many channels of bottom baryon decays proceed only through the external or internal W-emission diagrams. Moreover,…

We report the results of a search for D0-D0bar mixing in D0 -> K+ pi- decays based on 400 fb^{-1} of data accumulated by the Belle detector at KEKB. Both assuming CP conservation and allowing for CP violation, we fit the decay-time…

The contributions for the kaon pair from the intermediate states $\rho(1450)^+$ and $\rho(1700)^+$ in the decays $B^+ \to \bar{D}^0 K^+ \bar{K}^0$, $B^0 \to D^- K^+ \bar{K}^0$, and $B_s^0 \to D_s^-K^+ \bar{K}^0$ are analyzed within the…

We present a preliminary measurement of the ratio of $D^0$ decay rates into $K^0_L \pi^0$ and $K^0_S \pi^0$ final states. This ratio can be used to disentangle the Cabibbo favored $D^0 \to \bar{K}^0\pi^0$ and doubly Cabibbo suppressed $D^0…

The Dalitz plot distribution of $B^0 \rightarrow \bar{D}^0 K^+ \pi^-$ decays is studied using a data sample corresponding to $3.0\rm{fb}^{-1}$ of $pp$ collision data recorded by the LHCb experiment during 2011 and 2012. The data are…

The decay B0 -> D K*0 and the charge conjugate mode are studied using 1.0fb-1 of pp collision data collected by the LHCb experiment at sqrt(s) = 7TeV in 2011. The CP asymmetry between the B0 -> D K*0 and the B0bar -> D K*0bar decay rates,…
