  1. The first searches for B0→K+π−τ+τ− and Bs0 →K+K−τ+τ− decays at the LHCb experiment are conducted with pp collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.4  fb−1 . The tau leptons are reconstructed using the τ+→μ+ ν¯ τ νμ decay and the results are presented in bins of K+π− or K+K− mass. No signal is observed and upper limits are set on the branching fractions. The searches result in the first upper limits for B0→K+π−τ+τ− decays outside the K*(892)0 region in K+π− mass and the first limits for Bs0 →K+K−τ+τ− decays. The searches are recast into limits on the decays B0→K*(892)0τ+τ− and Bs0 →ϕ(1020)τ+τ− , yielding 2.8×10−4 ( 2.5×10−4 ) and 4.7×10−4 ( 4.1×10−4 ) at the 95% (90%) confidence level, respectively. For the decay B0→K*(892)0τ+τ− , this result improves on the current best upper limit by an order of magnitude.

  2. Using a data sample of 427.9  fb−1 collected by the Belle II detector at or near the ϒ(4S) and ϒ(10753) resonances, the cross sections for e+e−→h+h−J/ψ(h=π/K/p) at center-of-mass energies ranging from 3.8 GeV or the production threshold to 5.5/6.0/7.0  GeV have been measured via initial-state radiation. The cross sections for the processes e+e−→π+π−J/ψ and e+e−→K+K−J/ψ are consistent with previously published results. The cross sections for these channels obtained by combining with previous Belle results are also given. The process e+e−→pp¯J/ψ is investigated for the first time. The yields are small and no significant structure is observed in the cross section versus energy. Searches for vector charmoniumlike states in the h+h−J/ψ systems, and for associated intermediate states in the h±J/ψ systems, are also presented.
