Description
The LHCb detector is optimized for performing precision flavour measurements. Thanks to its particle-identification capabilities it is able to fully exploit the potential of the Large Hadron Collider. In this talk, recent results regarding the study of $C\!P$ violation in (charmless) beauty-baryon decays at LHCb will be presented. The study of these decays is particularly interesting because, prior to the analyses discussed in the talk, $C\!P$ violation in the baryon sector had never been observed. Moreover, the decays of beauty baryons receive contributions from the same diagrams responsible for the decay of $B$ mesons, where $C\!P$ violation is indeed well established.
