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.

    hep-ex 2026-05 conditional novelty 8.0

    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^-.

  2. Angular analysis of the $B^+\to\pi^+\mu^+\mu^-$ decay

    hep-ex 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 8.0

    First measurement of A_FB and F_H in B+→π+μ+μ− decay is consistent with Standard Model predictions in both high- and low-mass dimuon regions.

  3. Search for the lepton-flavour violating decays $B^+ \to \pi^+ \mu^\pm e^\mp$

    hep-ex 2026-04 accept novelty 6.0

    No signal observed for B+ → π+ μ± e∓; branching fraction upper limit set at 1.8 × 10^{-9} at 90% CL.

  4. Measurement of inclusive production of charmonium states in $b$-hadron decays via their decay into $\phi \phi$

    hep-ex 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    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.

  5. $C\!P$ violation analysis of local and nonlocal amplitudes in the $\overline{B}^0 \to \overline{K}^{*0}\mu^+\mu^-$ decay

    hep-ex 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    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.

    hep-ex 2026-04 accept novelty 4.0

    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.
