Measurement of hadronic form-factor parameters with an angular analysis of $B^0 \rightarrow D^{*-} \mu^{+} \nu_{\mu}$ decays /LHCb Collaboration
The hadronic form-factor parameters of the $B^{0}\to D^{\ast-} \mu^{+} \nu_\mu$ decay are determined from a differential analysis of the decay rate in dilepton momentum squared, $q^2$, the three helicity angles and the squared invariant mass of the visible system, $m^2_{miss}$. The data sample used corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 3.0 fb$^{-1}$ collected by the LHCb experiment in proton-proton collisions at centre-of-mass energies 7 TeV and 8 TeV [...]

Simultaneous determination of the CKM angle $\gamma$ and parameters related to mixing and $CP$ violation in the charm sector /LHCb Collaboration
A combination of measurements sensitive to the $C\!P$-violation angle $\gamma$ of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa unitarity triangle, to the charm mixing parameters that describe oscillations between $D^0$ and $\overline{D^0}$ mesons, and to the $C\!P$ asymmetries in the $D^0\to K^+ K^-$ and $D^0 \to \pi^+\pi^-$ decays is performed. All relevant beauty and charm results obtained with the data collected during the first two runs of the LHCb experiment at CERN's Large Hadron Collider are included, with three new inputs compared to the combination presented in 2024.

Unveiling the shape of the $^{20}$Ne nucleus by measuring the flow coefficients with cumulants in PbNe and PbAr collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 70.9$ GeV / LHCb Collaboration
The anisotropic flow coefficients $v_n$ quantify the collective medium response to the initial spatial anisotropy of the overlapping region in ion collisions and serve as sensitive probes of both the medium properties and shape of nuclear initial states. [...]

Branching fractions of $\eta$ and $\eta’(958)$ anomalous decays at LHCb /LHCb Collaboration
Branching fractions of $\eta$ and $\eta’(958)$ anomalous decays are measured using $pp$ collision data at a center-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s}=13\,\mathrm{TeV}$ collected by the LHCb experiment and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $5.4\,\mathrm{fb^{-1}}$. The measured values and upper limits at the 90% confidence level are \begin{equation} \mathcal{B}(\eta\to\mu^+\mu^-) = (5.30\pm0.14_{\text{(stat)}}\pm0.18_{\text{(syst)}}\pm0.26_{\phi})\times10^{-6} \nonumber, \end{equation} \begin{equation} \mathcal{B}(\eta’(958)\to\mu^+\mu^-)<1.94\times10^{-7} \nonumber, \end{equation} \begin{equation} \mathcal{B}(\eta\to\pi^+\pi^-\mu^+\mu^-)<6\times10^{-7} \nonumber, \end{equation} \begin{equation} \mathcal{B}(\eta’(958)\to\pi^+\pi^-\mu^+\mu^-) = (2.80\pm0.14_{\text{(stat)}}\pm0.13_{\text{(syst)}}\pm0.14_{\phi})\times10^{-5} \nonumber, \end{equation} where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second is systematic, and the third is the uncertainty associated with the branching fraction of the $\phi\to\mu^+ \mu^-$ decay which is used for normalization.

First observation of the $\phi$ (1020) meson in the $K^+K^-$ mass spectrum of ultra-pheripheral PbPb collisions at forward rapidity /LHCb Collaboration
The first observation of the $\phi(1020)$ meson in the invariant-mass distribution of $K^+K^-$ meson pairs produced in ultra-peripheral PbPb interactions at forward rapidity, in the range 2.0-4.5, is presented. The PbPb data were collected by the LHCb experiment in 2018 at a nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy $\sqrt{snn}$=5.02 TeV, and correspond to an integrated luminosity of $228\pm10 \mu b^{-1}$.

Antihelium production in $\overline{\it \Lambda}_b^0$ decays /LHCb Collaboration
Decays of $\overline{\Lambda}^{0}_{b}$ baryons produced in dark matter annihilating into $b\overline b$ pairs could enhance the abundance of antihelium in cosmic rays. The LHCb collaboration provides in this paper the first experimental limits on related branching fractions: \begin{align*} \mathcal B({\overline{\it \Lambda}_b^0\to{}^3{\rm\overline He}p p})&<1.9\times10^{-9}\text{ at 90% CL,}\\ \mathcal B({\overline{\it \Lambda}_b^0\to{}^3{\rm\overline He}pp X})&<1.6\times10^{-8}\text{ at 90% CL,}\\ \mathcal B({\overline{\it \Lambda}_b^0\to{}^3{\rm \overline He}pX})&<3.6\times10^{-8}\text{ at 90% CL,} \end{align*} where $X$ denotes one or several particles.

Search for $B_{(s)}^{*0}\to\mu^+\mu^-$ in $B_c^+\to\pi^+\mu^+\mu^-$ decays /LHCb Collaboration
A search for the very rare $B^{*0}\to\mu^+\mu^-$ and $B_{s}^{*0}\to\mu^+\mu^-$ decays is conducted by analysing the $B_c^+\to\pi^+\mu^+\mu^-$ process. The analysis uses proton-proton collision data collected with the LHCb detector between 2011 and 2018, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9\,fb$^{-1}$. [...]
