 Measurement of $CP$ violation in $B^{0}\rightarrow D^{\mp}\pi^{\pm}$ decays / LHCb Collaboration A measurement of the $CP$ asymmetries $S_{f}$ and $S_{\bar{f}}$ in $B^0\to D^{\mp}\pi^{\pm}$ decays is reported. The decays are reconstructed in a dataset collected with the LHCb experiment in proton-proton collisions at centre-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $3.0 \rm{ fb}^{-1}$.

 Evidence for the decay $B_{s}^0 \rightarrow \overline{K}{}^{*0}\mu^+\mu^-$ / LHCb Collaboration A search for the decay $B_{s}^0 \rightarrow \overline{K}{}^{*0}\mu^+\mu^-$ is presented using data sets corresponding to 1.0, 2.0 and 1.6 $\text{fb}^{-1}$ of integrated luminosity collected during $pp$ collisions with the LHCb experiment at centre-of-mass energies of 7, 8 and 13 TeV, respectively. An excess is found over the background-only hypothesis with a significance of 3.4 standard deviations.

 Measurement of the $CP$ asymmetry in $B^-\to D_s^-D^0$ and $B^-\to D^-D^0$ decays / LHCb Collaboration The $CP$ asymmetry in $B^-\to D_s^-D^0$ and $B^-\to D^-D^0$ decays is measured using LHCb data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.0 fb$^{-1}$, collected in $pp$ collisions at centre-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV. The results are $A^{CP}(B^-\to D_s^-D^0)=(-0.4\pm 0.5\pm 0.5)\%$ and $A^{CP}(B^-\to D^-D^0)=( 2.3\pm 2.7\pm 0.4)\%$, where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second systematic.

 Search for the Standard Model Higgs Boson at LEP /DELPHI Collaboration ; ALEPH Collaboration ; L3 Collaboration ; OPAL Collaboration The four LEP collaborations, ALEPH, DELPHI, L3 and OPAL, have collected 2461 pb−1 of e+e− collision data at centre-of-mass energies between 189 and 209 GeV, of which 536 pb−1 have energies above 206 GeV. The data have been used to search for the Standard Model Higgs boson.

 Measurement of the inelastic $pp$ cross-section at a centre-of-mass energy of 13\,TeV / LHCb Collaboration The cross-section for inelastic proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13\,TeV is measured with the LHCb detector. The fiducial cross-section for inelastic interactions producing at least one prompt long-lived charged particle with momentum $p>2$\,GeV/$c$ in the pseudorapidity range $2<\eta<5$ is determined to be $\sigma_{\rm acc}= 62.2 \pm 0.2 \pm 2.5$\,mb.

 Search for $B_c^+$ decays to two charm mesons / LHCb Collaboration A search for decays of $B_c^+$ mesons to two charm mesons is performed for the first time using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.0 fb$^{-1}$, collected by the LHCb experiment in $pp$ collisions at centre-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV. The decays considered are $B_c^+\to D^{(*)+}_{(s)} \overline{D}^{(*)0}$ and $B_c^+\to D^{(*)+}_{(s)} D^{(*)0}$, which are normalised to high-yield $B^+\to D^+_{(s)} \overline{D}^0$ decays.

 Studies of the resonance structure in $D^{0} \to K^\mp \pi^\pm \pi^\pm \pi^\mp$ decays / LHCb Collaboration Amplitude models are constructed to describe the resonance structure of ${D^{0}\to K^{-}\pi^{+}\pi^{+}\pi^{-}}$ and ${D^{0} \to K^{+}\pi^{-}\pi^{-}\pi^{+}}$ decays using $pp$ collision data collected at centre-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV with the LHCb experiment, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $3.0\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$. The largest contributions to both decay amplitudes are found to come from axial resonances, with decay modes $D^{0} \to a_1(1260)^{+} K^{-}$ and $D^{0} \to K_1(1270/1400)^{+} \pi^{-}$ being prominent in ${D^{0}\to K^{-}\pi^{+}\pi^{+}\pi^{-}}$ and $D^{0}\to K^{+}\pi^{-}\pi^{-}\pi^{+}$, respectively.
