As CERN and its host-states gradually easen lockdown measures, activities in the accelerator complex and the experiments are now restarting to continue with major upgrades for Run 3 of the LHC.

The LHCb collaboration presented a TDR for a new first level trigger based on graphics processors (GPUs) to CERN's LHCC and announced its decision to use this system as its new baseline in Run 3 of the LHC, due to start in 2022.
As the LHC prepares to enter an era of long luminosity and high statistics, the use of heterogeneous computing resources could help to optimize resources and prepare for future eperiments.

LHCb latest results confirm previous hints of odd behaviour in the way B mesons decay into a K* and a pair of muons, bringing fresh intrigue to the pattern of flavour anomalies.

In the next run of the LHC (Run 3) the upgraded LHCb experiment will operate at a factor of five times the luminosty of the first run. The LHCb trigger upgrade will enable parallel processing of 40 Tb/s: one of the biggest data challenges in HEP.
Several measurements from different experiments hint at a possible violation of lepton universality, yet more data hold the key to a conclusive answer.
LHCb experiment collected an unprecedented amount of D meson decays, allowing physicists to pinpoint for the first time the tiny size of CP violation in the charm-quark sector.
The LHCb detector will undergo a significant upgrade in parallel to the trigger system upgrade during LS2 to cope with higher luminosities and gather significantly more data.
