Abstract

The decay B±DK±B^{\pm}\to DK^{\pm} followed by the subsequent decay of the DD meson into final states involving a neutral kaon can be used to determine the CKM angle γ\gamma. We study CP violation effects due to mixing and decay of the final state kaon. We find that ignoring these effects produce a shift in γ\gamma of order ϵK/rB\epsilon_{K}/r_{B}, an enhancement of 1/rB1/r_B compared to the naive expectation. We then show how to take these effects into account such that, in principle, they will not introduce any theoretical error in the extraction of γ\gamma.
