 $CP$-violating asymmetries from the decay-time distribution of prompt $D^0 \to K^+ K^-$ and $D^0 \to \pi^+\pi^-$ decays in the full $\mbox{LHCb}$ Run 1 data sample. Measurement using unbinned, acceptance corrected decay-time. /LHCb Collaboration A study of indirect $CP$ violation in $D^0$ mesons is presented through a measurement of the asymmetry of the effective decay widths of $D^0$ and $\overline{D}^0$ mesons to $CP$ eigenstates. This observable, known as $A_{\Gamma}$, is measured with the $CP$ eigenstates $K^+ K^-$ and $\pi^+ \pi^-$ using data collected in $pp$ collisions by the LHCb experiment in 2012 with an integrated luminosity of $1.9\ \rm fb^{-1}$.

 $CP$-violating asymmetries from the decay-time distribution of prompt $D^0 \to K^+K^-$ and $D^0 \to \pi^+\pi^-$ decays in the full LHCb Run~1 data sample. Measurement using yield asymmetries in bins of decay time. /LHCb Collaboration Time-dependent $CP$ asymmetries in the decay rates of the singly Cabibbo-suppressed decays $D^0 \to K^+K^-$ and $D^0 \to \pi^+\pi^-$ are measured in $pp$ collision data at centre-of-mass energies of $7$ and $8\,\mathrm{TeV}$ collected by the LHCb detector, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $3\,\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$. The strong-interaction decay $D^{*+} \to D^0\pi^+$ is used to infer the flavour of the $D^0$ mesons at production. [...] LHCb-CONF-2016-009; CERN-LHCb-CONF-2016-009.- Geneva : CERN, 2016 - 14.

 Central exclusive production of $J/\psi$ and $\psi(2S)$ mesons in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV /LHCb Collaboration A measurement is made of the central exclusive production of $J/\psi$ and $\psi(2S)$ mesons in $pp$ collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. Backgrounds are significantly reduced compared to previous measurements made at lower energies through the use of new forward shower counters [...] LHCb-CONF-2016-007; CERN-LHCb-CONF-2016-007.- Geneva : CERN, 2016 - 16.

 Search for $H^0 \rightarrow b \bar{b}$ or $c \bar{c}$ in association with a $W$ or $Z$ boson in the forward region of $pp$ collisions /LHCb Collaboration The LHCb dataset consisting of proton--proton collisions recorded at $\sqrt{s}=8$ $\mathrm{TeV}$, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.98 $\pm$ 0.02 $fb^{-1}$, is used to search for a Higgs boson with a mass of 125 $\mathrm{GeV}$, produced in association with a $W$ or $Z$ boson and decaying to a $b \bar{b}$ or $c \bar{c}$ pair. The final state considered is a pair of heavy flavour tagged jets and one or two high $p_T$ leptons (electrons or muons) [...] LHCb-CONF-2016-006; CERN-LHCb-CONF-2016-006.- Geneva : CERN, 2016 - 17.

 Search for structure in the $B_s^0\pi^\pm$ invariant mass spectrum /LHCb Collaboration The claim by the D0 collaboration of the observation of a tetraquark state, dubbed the $X(5568)$, in the $B_s^0\pi^\pm$ invariant mass distribution is investigated. The analysis is based on a data sample recorded with the LHCb detector corresponding to $3 \ {\rm fb}^{-1}$ of $pp$ collision data at $\sqrt{s} = 7$ and $8 \ {\rm TeV}$ [...] LHCb-CONF-2016-004; CERN-LHCb-CONF-2016-004.- Geneva : CERN, 2016 - 16.

 Study of cold nuclear matter effects using prompt $D^0$ meson production in $p\mathrm{Pb}$ collisions at LHCb /LHCb Collaboration The production of $D^0$ mesons is studied in proton-lead collision data collected by the LHCb detector. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of $0.158\pm0.002 \ \text {nb}^{-1}$ and the nucleon-nucleon centre-of-mass energy of the proton-lead collisions is $\sqrt{s_{\mathrm{NN}}}=5.02$ TeV.

 Measurement of the $Z\rightarrow\mu^{+}\mu^{-}$ production cross-section at forward rapidities in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 13$ TeV /LHCb Collaboration A measurement of the production cross-section for $Z$ bosons in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 13$ TeV is presented using LHCb data, considering events in which the $Z$ boson decays to two muons. The cross-section is measured for muons with pseudorapidities between $2.0 < \eta < 4.5$, transverse momenta $p_\text{T}> 20$ GeV, and where the dimuon invariant mass is in the range $60 < M (\mu\mu) < 120\ \text{GeV}$.

 Measurement of the CKM angle $\gamma$ from a combination of $B\to DK$ analyses /LHCb Collaboration A combination is made of tree-level measurements of the CKM angle $\gamma$ from $B \to DK$ decays at LHCb. The results are obtained from time-integrated analyses of $B^{+}\to D K^+$, $B^0\to D K^{*0}$ and $B^+ \to D K^+\pi^+\pi^-$ decays, where the $D$ meson decays into $K^+K^-$, $\pi^+\pi^-$, $K^+K^-\pi^0$, $K^\pm\pi^\mp\pi^0$, $\pi^+\pi^-\pi^0$, $K^\pm \pi^\mp$, $K^0_S K^\pm\pi^\mp$, $K^0_S\pi^+\pi^-$, $K^0_S K^+K^-$, $K^\pm\pi^\mp \pi^+\pi^-$ and $\pi^+\pi^-\pi^+\pi^-$ final states.
