Performance of the LHCb RICH detector at the LHC
read the original abstract
The LHCb experiment has been taking data at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN since the end of 2009. One of its key detector components is the Ring-Imaging Cherenkov (RICH) system. This provides charged particle identification over a wide momentum range, from 2-100 GeV/c. The operation and control software, and online monitoring of the RICH system are described. The particle identification performance is presented, as measured using data from the LHC. Excellent separation of hadronic particle types (pion, kaon and proton) is achieved.

Observation of the charmless purely baryonic decay $\mathinner{\mathit{\Lambda}^0_b\!\to \mathit{\Lambda} p \overline{p}}$
First observation of Λ_b^0 → Λ p p-bar with 5.1σ significance and relative branching fraction (5.1 ± 1.3(stat) ± 0.3(syst)) × 10^{-2} to the reference mode Λ_b^0 → Λ K^+ K^-.

Measurement of inclusive production of charmonium states in $b$-hadron decays via their decay into $\phi \phi$
LHCb reports branching fractions B(b→χ_c0,1,2 X) and B(b→η_c(2S)X)×B(η_c(2S)→φφ) plus the most precise η_c(1S) mass from φφ decays in 5.9 fb⁻¹ of data.

$C\!P$ violation analysis of local and nonlocal amplitudes in the $\overline{B}^0 \to \overline{K}^{*0}\mu^+\mu^-$ decay
LHCb measures CP-violating Wilson coefficients in B0 -> K*0 mu+ mu- with higher precision than before and finds results consistent with the Standard Model.

Measurement of the $W$-boson production cross-sections in $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV in the forward region
LHCb measures forward W+ and W- production cross-sections of 1754.2 pb and 1178.1 pb at 13 TeV, agreeing with NNLO QCD predictions at higher precision than prior results.
