Abstract

Some selected results of the LHCb experiment, running at the LHC with ppcollisions at 7 TeV and 8 TeV, are reported here, after operation with a total integratedluminosity of 3.0 fb⁻¹ (Run 1). We focus on the most recent analyses on flavour physics,that include measurements of the CKM invariant phases γ and β, precision determination of the quark coupling strength V_ub, observation of the very rare decays B⁰_(s)→μ⁺μ⁻, search for new physics in the anomalous branching ratio of B→D*τv̄, and precision angular analysis of the rare decays B⁰→K*⁰μ⁺μ⁻ and B⁰_s→ϕμ⁺μ⁻. Detailed comparisons are performed in all cases with the predictions of the Standard Model, and a fewinteresting tensions are observed.
