We present a review of the measurements of the CKM angle beta (phi_1) by the BaBar and Belle experiments at the asymmetric-energy e+e- B Factories PEP-II and KEKB. The angle beta (phi_1) is measured by time-dependent CP analyses of neutral…
Recent LHCb measurements of the CKM angle $\gamma$ in ADS and GLW-like decays are presented. One measurement considers $B^{0}\to D K^{*0}(892)$ decays with two- and four-body $D$-decay final states and another considers $B^{\pm}\to D…

We construct the CKM unitarity triangle from CP invariant quantities, using the coupling constant of weak decays with flavor change from b to u, and the particle - antiparticle mixing probability in the B_s and B_d systems. Also included…
The role of the decay mode B->rho pi for the determination of the unitarity angle alpha is critically examined in view of the smaller than expected ratio B(B->rho+/- pi-/+)/B(B->rho0 pi+/-) found by the CLEO collaboration.
The unitarity triangles of the $3\times 3$ Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix are studied in a systematic way. We show that the phases of the nine CKM rephasing invariants are indeed the outer angles of the six unitarity triangles and…

Unitarity triangles and characteristic measurables of the $3\times 3$ Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix are discussed. Beyond the $3\times 3$ CKM scheme we make a rephasing-invariant generalization of the Gronau-Wyler-Dunietz approach…
The SM unitarity triangle (UT) is completely determined by the parameters $\gamma$ and $|V_{ub}|$ which can be extracted from tree-level processes and are assumed to be free of new physics. By comparison with other determinations of UT…
