Abstract

In this work, I suggest a new way for determining the CKM angle γ\gamma via B decays into a scalar/tensor meson without any hadronic uncertainty. The proposed idea makes profits of the two triangles formed by the B±(D0,Dˉ0,DCP0)K0(2)±(1430)B^\pm\to (D^0,\bar D^0,D_{CP}^0) K^{*\pm}_{0(2)}(1430) decay amplitudes. The advantages in it are large CP asymmetries and the avoidance of the use of doubly Cabibbo-suppressed D decays. Branching ratios of B±(D0,Dˉ0,DCP0)K0(2)±(1430)B^\pm\to (D^0,\bar D^0,D_{CP}^0) K^{*\pm}_{0(2)}(1430) are estimated to have the order 10610510^{-6}-10^{-5} and therefore measurable by the ongoing LHCb experiment and future experimental facilities. The usefulness of other related channels, for instance the neutral BdB_d decays into DK0(2)(1430)DK^{*}_{0(2)}(1430) and Bs(D0,Dˉ0)MB_s\to (D^0, \bar D^0) M (M=f0(980),f0(1370),f2(1525),f1(1285),f1(1420),h1(1180))M=f_0(980),f_0(1370), f_2'(1525), f_1(1285), f_1(1420), h_1(1180)), the BDa0,2±B\to D^{\mp} a_{0,2}^{\pm} for the extraction of γ+2β\gamma+2\beta and the BsDK0,2±B_s\to D^{\mp} K_{0,2}^{*\pm} to access γ+2βs\gamma+2\beta_s, is also discussed in brevity.
