A search for the Bs0 → D*±D∓ decay is performed using proton-proton collision data at centre-of-mass energies of 7, 8 and 13 TeV collected by the LHCb experiment, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9 fb−1. The decay is observed with a high significance and its branching fraction relative to the B0 → D*±D∓ decay is measured to be
B(Bs0→D∗±D∓)/(B0→D∗±D∓)=0.137±0.017±0.002±0.006,
where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second systematic and the third is due to the uncertainty on the ratio of the Bs0 and B0 hadronisation fractions.

The production fraction of the B−c meson with respect to the sum of B− and ¯B0 mesons is measured in both 7 and 13 TeV center-of-mass (c.m.) energy pp collisions produced by the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), using the LHCb detector. The rate, approximately 3.7 per mille, does not change with energy, but shows a transverse momentum dependence. The B−c−B+c production asymmetry is also measured and is ...

First evidence of a structure in the J/ψΛ invariant mass distribution is obtained from an amplitude analysis of Ξb-→J/ψΛK- decays. The observed structure is consistent with being due to a charmonium pentaquark with strangeness with a significance of 3.1σ including systematic uncertainties and look-elsewhere effect. Its mass and width are determined to be 4458.8±2.9-1.1+4.7MeV and 17.3±6.5-5.7+8.0MeV, respectively, where the quoted uncertainties are statistical ...
