Clean CKM Information from Bd(t) -> D(*)+/- pi-/+

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-10-30 v1

Abstract

It has been known for many years that the Bd(t) -> D(*)+/- {pi-/+, rho-/+, a1-/+} modes may involve observable CP violating effects. This note describes how to determine cleanly the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) phase phi = -2 beta - gamma = -pi + alpha - beta, even in the presence of possible final state interactions. A discrete ambiguity remains.
