A<sc>bstract</sc> An angular analysis ofB⁰→ K^*0e⁺e⁻decays is presented using proton-proton collision data collected by the LHCb experiment at centre-of-mass energies of 7, 8 and 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9 fb⁻¹. The analysis is performed in the region of the dilepton invariant mass squared of 1.1–6.0 GeV²/c⁴. In addition, a test of lepton flavour universality is performed by comparing the obtained angular observables with those measured inB⁰→ K^*0μ⁺μ⁻decays. In general, the angular observables are found to be consistent with the Standard Model expectations as well as with global analyses of otherb → sℓ⁺ℓ⁻processes, whereℓis either a muon or an electron. No sign of lepton-flavour-violating effects is observed. 

Abstract This paper presents the first measurement of$$\psi {(2S)}$$ $\psi \left(2S\right)$and$$\chi _{c1}(3872)$$ ${\chi }_{c1}\left(3872\right)$meson production within fully reconstructed jets. Each quarkonium state (tag) is reconstructed via its decay to the$${{J \hspace{-1.66656pt}/\hspace{-1.111pt}\psi }} $$ $J/\psi$($$\rightarrow $$ $\to$$$\mu ^+\mu ^-$$ ${\mu }^{+}{\mu }^{-}$)$$\pi ^+\pi ^-$$ ${\pi }^{+}{\pi }^{-}$final state in the forward region using proton-proton collision data collected by the LHCb experiment at the center-of-mass-energy of$$13\text {TeV} $$ $13\text{TeV}$in 2016, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of$$1.64\,\text {\,fb} ^{-1} $$ $1.64{\text{,fb}}^{-1}$. The fragmentation function, presented as the ratio of the quarkonium-tag transverse momentum to the full jet transverse momentum ($$p_{\textrm{T}} (\text {tag})/p_{\textrm{T}} (\text {jet})$$ $p_{\text{T}}\left(\text{tag}\right)/p_{\text{T}}\left(\text{jet}\right)$), is measured differentially in$$p_{\textrm{T}} (\text {jet})$$ $p_{\text{T}}\left(\text{jet}\right)$and$$p_{\textrm{T}} (\text {tag})$$ $p_{\text{T}}\left(\text{tag}\right)$bins. The distributions are separated into promptly produced quarkonia from proton-proton collisions and quarkonia produced from displacedb-hadron decays. While the displaced quarkonia fragmentation functions are in general well described by parton-shower predictions, the prompt quarkonium distributions differ significantly from fixed-order non-relativistic QCD (NRQCD) predictions followed by a QCD parton shower. 

A<sc>bstract</sc> A measurement of theCP-violating parameters in$$ {B}_s^0\boldsymbol{\to}{D}_s^{\mp }{K}^{\pm} $$ $B_s^0\to D_s^{\mp }{K}^{\pm }$decays is reported, based on the analysis of proton-proton collision data collected by the LHCb experiment corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 6 fb⁻¹at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. The measured parameters are obtained with a decay-time dependent analysis yieldingC_f= 0.791 ± 0.061 ± 0.022,$$ {A}_f^{\Delta \Gamma} $$ $A_f^{\text{∆}\Gamma }$= −0.051 ± 0.134 ± 0.058,$$ {A}_{\overline{f}}^{\Delta \Gamma} $$ $A_{\overline{f}}^{\text{∆}\Gamma }$= −0.303 ± 0.125 ± 0.055,S_f= −0.571 ± 0.084 ± 0.023 and$$ {S}_{\overline{f}} $$ $S_{\overline{f}}$= −0.503 ± 0.084 ± 0.025, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic. This corresponds to CP violation in the interference between mixing and decay of about 8.6σ. Together with the value of the$$ {B}_s^0 $$ $B_s^0$mixing phase −2β_s, these parameters are used to obtain a measurement of the CKM angleγequal to (74 ± 12)° modulo 180°, where the uncertainty contains both statistical and systematic contributions. This result is combined with the previous LHCb measurement in this channel using 3 fb⁻¹resulting in a determination of$$ \gamma ={\left({81}_{-11}^{+12}\right)}^{\circ } $$ $\gamma ={\left({81}_{-11}^{+12}\right)}^{\circ }$. 

A<sc>bstract</sc> An angular analysis of the$$ {B}_s^0 $$ $B_s^0$→ ϕe⁺e⁻decay is performed using the proton-proton collision dataset collected between 2011 and 2018 by the LHCb experiment, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9 fb⁻¹at centre-of-mass energies of 7, 8 and 13 TeV. The analysis is performed in the very low dielectron invariant mass-squared region between 0.0009 and 0.2615 GeV²/c⁴. The longitudinal polarisation fraction of theϕmeson is measured to be less than 11.5% at 90% confidence level. The$$ {A}_{\textrm{T}}^{\mathcal{R} eCP} $$ $A_T^{R\mathrm{eCP}}$observable, which is related to the lepton forward-backward asymmetry, is measured to be 0.116±0.155±0.006, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic. The transverse asymmetries,$$ {A}_{\textrm{T}}^{(2)} $$ $A_T^{\left(2\right)}$and$$ {A}_{\textrm{T}}^{\mathcal{I} mCP} $$ $A_T^{I\mathrm{mCP}}$, which are sensitive to the virtual photon polarisation, are found to be−0.045±0.235±0.014 and 0.002±0.247±0.016, respectively. The results are consistent with Standard Model predictions.
