abstract
Since 2015, with the restart of the LHC for its second run of data taking, the LHCb experiment has been empowered with a dedicated computing model to select and analyse calibration samples to measure the performance of the particle identification (PID) detectors and algorithms. The novel technique was developed within the framework of the innovative trigger model of the LHCb experiment, which relies on online event reconstruction for most of the datasets, reserving offline reconstruction to special physics cases. The strategy to select and process the calibration samples, which includes a dedicated data-processing scheme combining online and offline reconstruction, is discussed. The use of the calibration samples to measure the detector PID performance, and the efficiency of PID requirements across a large range of decay channels, is described. Applications of the calibration samples in data-quality monitoring and validation procedures are also detailed.

LHCb reports the first upper limits on B0 → K+π−τ+τ− and Bs0 → K+K−τ+τ− branching fractions, with recast limits of 2.8×10−4 on B0 → K*(892)0 τ+τ− at 95% CL that improve prior bounds by an order of magnitude.
First observation of Λ_b^0 → Λ p p-bar with 5.1σ significance and relative branching fraction (5.1 ± 1.3(stat) ± 0.3(syst)) × 10^{-2} to the reference mode Λ_b^0 → Λ K^+ K^-.
LHCb observes 3.2 sigma evidence for B+ -> pi+ e+ e- with measured branching fraction (2.4 +0.9 -0.8 +0.4 -0.2) x 10^-8, consistent with Standard Model.
A new charm-strange resonance D_s1(2933)^+ with J^P=1^+ is observed at >10 sigma in B^0 to D+ D- K+ pi- decays, with measured mass 2933 MeV and width 72 MeV.
Relative branching fraction B(B0 → Λc+ Λc- KS0)/B(B+ → Λc+ Λc- K+) measured as 0.53 ± 0.05 ± 0.05 with 3.9σ evidence for Ξc(2923)+ and Ξc(2939)+ resonances consistent with isospin partners.
Charged-hadron distributions in heavy-flavor jets differ from light-quark jets in ways consistent with dead-cone suppression and hard fragmentation of the heavy hadron.
R_K*0 is measured as 1.08^{+0.14}_{-0.12}(stat) ± 0.07(syst) for q² > 14 GeV²/c⁴ in B⁰ → K*⁰ ℓ⁺ℓ⁻ decays, consistent with the Standard Model.
