The LHCb experiment is well suited to the spectroscopy of heavy flavor hadrons. The proton-proton collisions provided by the Large Hadron Collider produce a variety of heavy flavor states, and the excellent vertex and momentum resolution of the LHCb detector enables precision studies of hadron properties. Access to the kinematics of full decay chains allows amplitude analysis, which...

The large masses of B mesons allow them to decay into baryonic final states. The first observations and studies of such baryonic B decays were performed by the ARGUS and CLEO experiments in the 1990s.
The LHCb collaboration has measured the branching fractions of the decays $B^0$ and $B^0_s \to p \bar{p} p \bar{p}$ to be of the order of $10^{-8}$ using Run 1+2 datasets...

Charge-Parity Violation (CPV) is expected in 3-body charm decays such as the $D^+\rightarrow K^- K^+\pi^+$. This is an interesting channel to investigate, and an amplitude analysis is required to understand the dynamics of different contributions to the final state and the dynamical origin of CPV. The present research seeks to analyse recent data of the Large Hadron Collider beauty...
