   An amplitude analysis of $B^{-}\to D^{-}{D}^0{K}_S^0$decays is performed using proton-proton collision data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $9{\mathrm{fb}}^{-1}$, collected with the LHCb detector at center-of-mass energies of 7, 8, and 13 TeV. A resonant structure of spin-parity $0^{+}$is observed in the $D^0{K}_S^0$invariant-mass spectrum with a significance of $5.3\sigma$. The mass and width of the state, modeled with a Breit-Wigner line shape, are determined to be $2883\pm 11\pm 8\mathrm{MeV}/c^2$and ${87}_{-47}^{+22}\pm 17\mathrm{MeV}$, respectively, where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second systematic. These properties and the quark content are consistent with those of the open-charm tetraquark candidate $T_{cs0}^{*}(2870{)}^0$observed previously in the $D^{+}{K}^{-}$final state of the $B^{-}\to D^{-}{D}^{+}{K}^{-}$decay. This result confirms the existence of the $T_{cs0}^{*}(2870{)}^0$state in a new decay mode. The $T_{cs1}^{*}(2900{)}^0$state, reported in the $B^{-}\to D^{-}{D}^{+}{K}^{-}$decay, is also searched for in the $D^0{K}_S^0$invariant-mass spectrum of the $B^{-}\to D^{-}{D}^0{K}_S^0$decay, without finding evidence for it. © 2025 CERN, for the LHCb Collaboration2025CERN

2. Study of ${\mathrm{\Lambda }}_b^0$ and ${\mathrm{\Xi }}_b^0$ Decays to $\mathrm{\Lambda }{h}^{+}{h}^{\prime -}$ and Evidence for $CP$ Violation in ${\mathrm{\Lambda }}_b^0\to \mathrm{\Lambda }{K}^{+}{K}^{-}$ Decays

   A study of ${\mathrm{\Lambda }}_b^0$and ${\mathrm{\Xi }}_b^0$decays to $\mathrm{\Lambda }{h}^{+}{h}^{\prime -}$( $h^{(\prime )}=\pi ,K$) is performed using $pp$collision data collected by the LHCb experiment during LHC Runs 1–2, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $9{\mathrm{fb}}^{-1}$. The branching fractions for these decays are measured using the ${\mathrm{\Lambda }}_b^0\to {\mathrm{\Lambda }}_c^{+}(\to \mathrm{\Lambda }{\pi }^{+}){\pi }^{-}$decay as a control channel. The decays ${\mathrm{\Lambda }}_b^0\to \mathrm{\Lambda }{\pi }^{+}{\pi }^{-}$and ${\mathrm{\Xi }}_b^0\to \mathrm{\Lambda }{K}^{-}{\pi }^{+}$are observed for the first time. For decay modes with sufficient signal yields, $CP$asymmetries are measured in the full and localized regions of the final-state phase space. Evidence is found for $CP$violation in the ${\mathrm{\Lambda }}_b^0\to \mathrm{\Lambda }{K}^{+}{K}^{-}$decay, interpreted as originating primarily from an asymmetric ${\mathrm{\Lambda }}_b^0\to N^{*+}{K}^{-}$decay amplitude. The measured $CP$asymmetries for other decays are compatible with zero. © 2025 CERN, for the LHCb Collaboration2025CERN

3. Search for two-body $B$ meson decays to ${\mathrm{\Lambda }}^0$ and ${\mathrm{\Omega }}_c^{(*)0}$

   We report the results of the first search for Standard Model and baryon-number-violating two-body decays of the neutral $B$mesons to ${\mathrm{\Lambda }}^0$and ${\mathrm{\Omega }}_c^{(*)0}$using $711{\mathrm{fb}}^{-1}$of data collected at the $\mathrm{\Upsilon }\left(4S\right)$resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy $e^{+}{e}^{-}$collider. We observe no evidence of signal from any such decays and set 95% confidence-level upper limits on the products of $B^0$and ${\overline{B}}^0$branching fractions for these two-body decays with $\mathcal{B}({\mathrm{\Omega }}_c^0\to {\pi }^{+}{\mathrm{\Omega }}^{-})$in the range between $9.5\times {10}^{-8}$and $31.2\times {10}^{-8}$.
