Abstract

In this talk I will discuss the extraction of the CKM angle γ\gamma at B-factories through the interference of the subprocesses BKD0B^-\to K^- D^0 and BKDˉ0B^- \to K^-\bar D^0. This seemingly impossible interference may be accomplished by allowing both D0D^0 and Dˉ0\bar D^0 to decay to a common final state. If only CP eigenstate decay modes of the DD are considered, the branching ratio for BDˉ0KB^- \to \bar D^0 K^- must be experimentally I describe why this determination is likely to be experimentally impossible. On the other hand, if more general DD decays are considered, the angle γ\gamma may then be determined. In fact, it is possible that a reasonable determination of γ\gamma may be made with O(10^8) B's.
