Precision measurement of the ${\it{\Xi}}_b^0$ baryon lifetime / LHCb Collaboration
A sample of $pp$ collision data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.4 fb$^{-1}$ and collected by the LHCb experiment during LHC Run 2, is used to measure the ratio of the lifetime of the ${\it{\Xi}}_b^0$ baryon to that of the ${\it{\Lambda}}_b^0$ baryon, $r_{\tau}\equiv\tau_{{\it{\Xi}}_b^0}/\tau_{{\it{\Lambda}}_b^0}$. The value ${r_{\tau}^{\rm Run\,2}=1.004\pm0.009\pm0.006}$ is obtained, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic. [...]

First observation of the $\mathit{\Lambda}_b^{0}\!\rightarrow\mathit{\Lambda}_{c}^{+}D_{s}^{-}K^{+}K^{-}$ decay and search for pentaquarks in the $\mathit{\Lambda}_{c}^{+}D_{s}^{-}$ system / LHCb Collaboration
The $\mathit{\Lambda}_b^{0}\!\rightarrow\mathit{\Lambda}_{c}^{+}D_{s}^{-}K^{+}K^{-}$ decay is observed for the first time using the data sample from proton-proton collisions recorded at a center-of-mass energy of $13\,\text{TeV}$ with the LHCb detector, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $6\,\text{fb}^{-1}$. The ratio of branching fraction to that of $\mathit{\Lambda}_b^{0} \!\rightarrow\mathit{\Lambda}_{c}^{+}D_{s}^{-}$ decays is measured as $0.0141 \pm 0.0019 \pm 0.0012$, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic.

Measurement of the $\Omega_c^0$ and $\Xi_c^0$ baryon lifetimes using hadronic $b$-baryon decays / LHCb Collaboration
The lifetimes of the $\Omega_c^0$ and $\Xi_c^0$ baryons are measured using a $pp$ collision dataset collected by the LHCb experiment, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $9~\rm{fb^{-1}}$. The charm baryons are produced in the fully reconstructed decay chains $\Omega_b^- \rightarrow \Omega_c^0 (\rightarrow pK^-K^-\pi^+)~\pi^-$ and $\Xi_b^- \rightarrow \Xi_c^0 (\rightarrow pK^-K^-\pi^+)~\pi^-$.

Measurement of the $Z$-boson mass / LHCb Collaboration
The first dedicated $Z$-boson mass measurement at the LHC with $Z \to \mu^+\mu^-$ decays is reported. The dataset uses proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of $13$ TeV, recorded in 2016 by the LHCb experiment, and corresponds to an integrated luminosity of $1.7$ fb$^{-1}$. [...]

Measurements of charmed meson and antimeson production asymmetries at $\sqrt{s} =13.6$ TeV / LHCb Collaboration
This article presents doubly differential measurements of the asymmetries in production rates between mesons containing a charm quark and those containing an anticharm quark in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s}=13.6$ TeV using data recorded by the LHCb experiment. The asymmetries of $D^0$, $D^+$ and $D_s^+$ mesons are measured for two-dimensional intervals in transverse momentum and pseudorapidity, within the range $2.5< p_T<25.0$ GeV$/c$ and $2.0<\eta<4.5$.

First measurement of $b$-jet mass with and without grooming / LHCb Collaboration
The LHCb collaboration presents a novel suite of heavy-flavour jet substructure measurements at forward rapidity in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s} = 13$ TeV. The jet mass is a perturbatively calculable probe of the virtuality of hard-scattered quarks and gluons, connecting small-distance quantum chromodynamics (QCD) with long-distance experimental measurement.

Measurement of the branching fraction ratio $R_K$ at large dilepton invariant mass / LHCb Collaboration
A test of lepton universality between muons and electrons is performed using $B^+ \rightarrow K^+\ell^+\ell^-$ decays (where $\ell = e$, $\mu$), in the dilepton invariant-mass-squared region above 14.3 GeV$^2/c^4$. The data used for the measurement consists of beauty meson decays produced in proton-proton collisions, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $9\,$fb$^1$, collected by the LHCb experiment between 2011 and 2018.

Observation of the decay $B_s^0 \to K_S^0 p \bar{p}$ and measurement of the $B_{(s)}^0 \to K_S^0 p\bar{p}$ branching fraction / LHCb Collaboration
A study of the charmless baryonic decays $B^0_{(s)}\rightarrow K^0 p \bar{p}$ is presented, where $B^0_{(s)}$ denotes either a $B^0$ or a $B^0_s$ meson. The analysis is based on proton-proton collision data collected by the LHCb experiment at centre-of-mass energies of 7, 8, and $13~\mathrm{Tev}$, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $9~\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$.
