We review the experimental status of the angles of the Unitarity Triangle of the CKM matrix, as measured by the BABAR and Belle experiments.
We determine the domains of the values of unitarity triangle angle alpha, allowed by the charmless strangeless B_d (\bar B_d) decays.
LHCb will collect large samples of Bd and Bs decays. Combining the CP-violating observables of the decays Bd-->pi+pi- and Bs-->K+K- it is possible to extract the gamma angle of the unitarity triangle. The selection of these decays within…
