Determination of the X(3872) meson quantum numbers.
The quantum numbers of the X(3872) meson are determined to be J(PC)=1(++) based on angular correlations in B(+)→X(3872)K(+) decays, where X(3872)→π(+)π(-)J/ψ and J/ψ→μ(+)μ(-). The data correspond to 1.0 fb(-1) of pp collisions collected by the LHCb detector. The only alternative assignment allowed by previous measurements J(PC)=2(-+) is rejected with a confidence level equivalent to more than 8 Gaussian standard deviations using a likelihood-ratio test in the full angular phase space. This result favors exotic explanations of the X(3872) state.

title: Observation of $B^0_s\rightarrow\chi_{c1}\phi$ decay and study of $B^0\rightarrow\chi_{c1,2}K^{*0}$ decays
abstract: The first observation of the decay $B^0_s\rightarrow\chi_{c1}\phi$ and a study of $B^0\rightarrow\chi_{c1,2}K^{*0}$ decays are presented. The analysis is performed using a dataset, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb$^{-1}$, collected by the LHCb experiment in pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV. The following ratios of branching fractions are measured: \begin{equation*} \begin{array}{lll} \dfrac{\cal{B}(B^0_s\rightarrow\chi_{c1}\phi)}{\cal{B}(B^0_s\rightarrow J/\psi\phi)} &=& (18.9 \pm1.8\,(stat)\pm1.3\,(syst)\pm0.8\,(\cal{B})) \times 10^{-2}, \nonumber \\ \noalign{\vskip 3pt} \dfrac{\cal{B}(B^0\rightarrow\chi_{c1}K^{*0})}{\cal{B}(B^0\rightarrow J/\psiK^{*0})} &=& (19.8 \pm1.1\,(stat)\pm1.2\,(syst)\pm0.9\,(\cal{B})) \times 10^{-2}, \nonumber \\ \noalign{\vskip 3pt} \dfrac{\cal{B}(B^0\rightarrow\chi_{c2}K^{*0})}{\cal{B}(B^0\rightarrow\chi_{c 1}K^{*0})} &=& (17.1 \pm5.0\,(stat)\pm1.7\,(syst)\pm1.1\,(\cal{B})) \times 10^{-2}, \nonumber \\ \noalign{\vskip 3pt} \end{array} \end{equation*} \noindent where the third uncertainty is due to the limited knowledge of the branching fractions of ${\chi_{c}\rightarrow J/\psi \gamma}$ modes.

title: Implications of LHCb measurements and future prospects
abstract: During 2011 the LHCb experiment at CERN collected 1.0 fb−1 of $\sqrt{s} = 7\mbox{~TeV}$pp collisions. Due to the large heavy quark production cross-sections, these data provide unprecedented samples of heavy flavoured hadrons. The first results from LHCb have made a significant impact on the flavour physics landscape and have definitively proved the concept of a dedicated experiment in the forward region at a hadron collider. This document discusses the implications of these first measurements on classes of extensions to the Standard Model, bearing in mind the interplay with the results of searches for on-shell production of new particles at ATLAS and CMS. The physics potential of an upgrade to the LHCb detector, which would allow an order of magnitude more data to be collected, is emphasised.

title: Model-independent search for $CP$ violation in $D^{0} \to K^{-}K^{+}\pi^{-}\pi^{+}$ and $D^{0} \to \pi^{-}\pi^{+}\pi^{+}\pi^{-}$ decays
abstract: A search for CP violation in the phase-space structures of 130 and 15 decays to the final states K-K+pi(-)pi(+) and pi(-)pi(+)pi(+)pi(-) is presented. The search is carried out with a data set corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb(-1) collected in 2011 by the LHCb experiment in pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV. For the K-K+pi(-)pi(+) final state, the four-body phase space is divided into 32 bins, each bin with approximately 1800 decays. The p-value under the hypothesis of no CP violation is 9.1%, and in no bin is a CP asymmetry greater than 6.5% observed. The phase space of the pi(-)pi(+)pi(+)pi(-). final state is partitioned into 128 bins, each bin with approximately 2500 decays. The p-value under the hypothesis of no CP violation is 41%, and in no bin is a CP asymmetry greater than 5.5% observed. All results are consistent with the hypothesis of no CP violation at the current sensitivity.

title: Determination of the branching fractions of $B_{s}^{0} \to D_{s}^{\mp} K^{\pm}$ and $B^{0} \to D_{s}^{-} K^{+}$
abstract: Measurements are presented of the branching fractions of the decays $B_{s}^{0} \to D_{s}^{\mp} K^{\pm}$ and $B^{0} \to D_{s}^{-} K^{+}$ relative to the decays $B_{s}^{0} \to D_{s}^{-} \pi^{+}$ and $B^{0} \to D^{-} \pi^{+}$, respectively. The data used correspond to an integrated luminosity of 3.0 fb$^{-1}$ of proton-proton collisions. The ratios of branching fractions are $\dfrac{\mathcal{B}(B_{s}^{0} \to D_{s}^{\mp} K^{\pm})}{\mathcal{B}(B_{s}^{0} \to D_{s}^{-} \pi^{+})} = 0.0752 \pm 0.0015 \pm 0.0019$ and $\dfrac{\mathcal{B}(B^{0} \to D_{s}^{-} K^{+})}{\mathcal{B}(B^{0} \to D^{-} \pi^{+})} = 0.0129 \pm 0.0005 \pm 0.0008,$ where the uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively.

title: Searches for violation of lepton flavour and baryon number in tau lepton decays at LHCb
abstract: Searches for the lepton flavour violating decay tau(-) -> mu(-)mu(+)mu(-) and the lepton flavour and baryon number violating decays tau(-) -> (p) over bar mu(+)mu(-) and tau(-) -> p mu(-)mu(-) have been carried out using proton-proton collision data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb(-1), taken by the LHCb experiment at root s = 7 TeV. No evidence has been found for any signal, and limits have been set at 90% confidence level on the branching fractions: B(tau(-) -> mu(-)mu(+)mu(-) mu(+)mu(-)) p mu(-)mu(-)) (p) over bar mu(+)mu(-) and tau(-) -> p mu(-)mu(-) decay modes represent the first direct experimental limits on these channels.

title: The Spin dependent structure function g1(x) of the deuteron from polarized deep inelastic muon scattering
abstract: We present a new measurement of the virtual photon proton asymmetry A 1 p from deep inelastic scattering of polarized muons on polarized protons in the kinematic range 0.0008 x Q 2 2 . With this, the statistical uncertainty of our measurement has improved by a factor of 2 compared to our previous measurements. The spin-dependent structure function g 1 p is determined for the data with Q 2 > 1 GeV 2 . A perturbative QCD evolution in next-to-leading order is used to determine g 1 p ( x ) at a constant Q 2 . At Q 2 = 10 GeV 2 we find, in the measured range, ∫ 0.003 0.7 g 1 P (x) d x=0.139±0.006 ( stat ) ±0.008 ( syst ) ±0.006( evol ) . The value of the first moment Г 1 P = ∫ 0 1 g 1 p (x) d x of g 1 p depends on the approach used to describe the behaviour of g 1 p at low x . We find that the Ellis-Jaffe sum rule is violated. With our published result for Γ 1 d we confirm the Bjorken sum rule with an accuracy of ≈ 15% at the one standard deviation level.

title: Eta photoproduction on the proton for photon energies from 0.75 to 1.95 GeV.
abstract: Differential cross sections for gammap-->etap have been measured with tagged real photons for incident photon energies from 0.75 to 1.95 GeV. Mesons were identified by missing mass reconstruction using kinematical information for protons scattered in the production process. The data provide the first extensive angular distribution measurements for the process above W=1.75 GeV. Comparison with preliminary results from a constituent quark model support the suggestion that a third S11 resonance with mass approximately 1.8 GeV couples to the etaN channel.

title: Anomalies in covariant W gravity
abstract: We consider free scalar matter covariantly coupled to background W-gravity. Expanding to second order in the W-gravity fields, we study the appropriate anomalous Ward-Takahashi identities and find the counterterms which maintain diffeomorphism invariance and its W-analogue. We see that a redefinition of the vielbein transformation rule under W-diffeomorphism is required in order to cancel nonlocal contributions to the anomaly. Moreover, we explicitly write all gauge invariances at this order. Some consequences of these results for the chiral gauge quantization are discussed.
