We report the first observation of a baryonic $B_s^0$ decay, $B_s^0 \to p \kern 0.1em\overline{\kern -0.1em\Lambda} K^-$, using proton-proton collision data recorded by the LHCb experiment at center-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV,…

We demonstrate that time-dependent studies of angular distributions for $B_s$ decays caused by $\bar b\to\bar cu\bar s$ quark-level transitions extract cleanly and model-independently the CKM angle $\gamma$. This CKM angle could be cleanly…

Extant anomalies in several semileptonic $B$-meson decays argue for physics beyond the Standard Model. Measurements of both neutral-current decays (such as $R_K$, $R_{K^*}$ and $B_s\rightarrow \phi\mu\mu$) as well as charged-current ones-…

The rare decay $B^0_s \to \mu^+\mu^-$ plays a key role for the testing of the Standard Model. It is pointed out that the sizable decay width difference $\Delta\Gamma_s$ of the $B_s$-meson system affects this channel in a subtle way. As a…

A new technique is discussed that can be applied to $\Lambda_b^0$ baryon decays where decays with one missing particle can be discerned from background and their branching fractions determined, along with other properties of the decays.…

We analyse the results recently presented on the $B^{+} \to K^{*+} \mu^+ \mu^-$ angular observables by the LHCb Collaboration which show indications for New Physics beyond the Standard Model. Within a model-independent analysis, we compare…

In this letter we revisit the Standard Model predictions for $\mathcal{B}(B\to K^{(\ast)}\nu\bar{\nu})$ and discuss the opportunities that open up when combining its partial decay rate with that of $B\to K^{(\ast)}\ell\ell$. In the Standard…

In this addendum to arXiv:1811.09603 we update our results including the recent measurement of ${\cal R}(D)$ and ${\cal R}(D^*)$ by the Belle collaboration: ${\cal R}(D)_{\rm Belle} = 0.307\pm0.037\pm0.016$ and ${\cal R}(D^*)_{\rm…

We investigate the experimentally-accessible kinematic distributions of the $\bar B\to D^{(*)}\tau^-(\to\ell^-\bar\nu_\ell\nu_\tau)\bar\nu_\tau$ decays. Specifically, we study the decay rates as functions of the $B\to D^{(*)}$ transferred…

Deviation from the standard model prediction is observed in many semileptonic $B$ decays mediated via $b \to c$ charged current interactions. In particular, current experimental measurements of the ratio of branching ratio $R_D$ and…

Differences in the behaviour of matter and antimatter have been observed in $K$ and $B$ meson decays, but not yet in any baryon decay. Such differences are associated with the non-invariance of fundamental interactions under the combined…
