Description

Long-distance resonant dynamics along with a sizeable weak phase present in multi-body charmless b-hadron decays leads to a rich structure of CP violation as a function of the phase space. Amplitude analysis provides a deeper understanding of the mechanisms that generate strong phase variations, which are responsible for this effect. We present the amplitude analyses of B+ -> pi+ K+ K- and Bs -> Ks K± pi∓. For the former, CP asymmetries of the contributing quasi-two-body resonances are measured.
Charmless b-baryon decays represent a promising opportunity to make a first observation of CP violation in the baryonic sector. We also present the most recent measurements of four-body charmless b-baryon decays performed by LHCb.
