Abstract

We investigate the time-evolutions of angular distributions for BsB_s decays into final states that are admixtures of CP-even and CP-odd configurations. A sizable lifetime difference between the BsB_s mass eigenstates allows a probe of CP violation in time-dependent untagged angular distributions. Interference effects between different final state configurations of BsDs+DsB_s\to D^{*+}_s D^{*-}_s, J/ψϕJ/\psi \phi determine the Wolfenstein parameter η\eta from untagged data samples, or -- if one uses Vub/Vcb|V_{ub}|/|V_{cb}| as an additional input -- the notoriously difficult to measure CKM angle γ\gamma. Another determination of γ\gamma is possible by using isospin symmetry of strong interactions to relate untagged data samples of BsK+KB_s\to K^{\ast+} K^{\ast-} and BsK0K0B_s\to K^{\ast0} \overline{K^{\ast0}}. We note that the untagged angular distribution for Bsρ0ϕB_s\to\rho^0 \phi provides interesting information about electroweak penguins.
