Publications of the Charmless $b$-hadron Decays Working Group

Everything to do with charmless $b$-hadron decays
  • Time-independent and time-dependent $CP$ violation measurements in $B\to hh^{\prime}$ decays
  • Searches for rare charmless meson and baryon decays such as the suppressed $B\to hh$, wrong-sign $B\to 3h$, $\Lambda_b\to \Lambda h h^{(\prime)}$ and baryonic $B$ decays
  • Dalitz plot analyses of 3-body decays, including measurement of both direct and time-dependent $CP$ violation
  • Studies of $B \to V V$ decays including full angular analysis, studies of triple product asymmetries
  • Measurement of $\phi_s$ from $B_s\to \phi\phi$, $B_s\to K^{\ast 0}\overline{K^{\ast 0}}$
  • Searches for many-body charmless $b$-hadron decays such as $B\to 5h$, $\Lambda_b\to p 3h$, $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda \eta^{(\prime)}$
