We show that the angle $\alpha_{ds}$ of the ``flattest'' unitarity triange can be directly measured using the decays $\overline{B}_{d}\to \phi \overline{K}^{(*)0}$ and $\overline{B}_{s}\to \phi{K}^{(*)0}$. Using both $\overline{B}_{d}$ and…

A recent combination of measurements performed by the LHCb collaboration determined that $\gamma=(63.8^{+3.5}_{-3.7})^\circ$. The fit combined the results of $\gamma$ and charm measurements, which resulted in precision improvements for the…
We develop a method to measure the CKM angle $\gamma$ without hadronic uncertainties from the analysis of $B^\pm \to K^\pm D^0$ and $K^\pm \D0bar$ followed by singly Cabibbo-suppressed $D$ decays to non CP-eigenstates, such as $K^\pm…

We summarize the results presented in Working Group 5 (WG5) of the CKM 2006 Workshop in Nagoya. The charge of WG5 was to discuss the measurements of unitarity triangle angles $\beta/\phi_1$ and $\gamma/\phi_3$ from $B$-meson decays…
We explain how a four-body amplitude analysis of the $\rm D$ decay products in the mode $\rm B^\pm \to (K^+K^-\pi^+\pi^-)_D K^\pm$ is sensitive to the unitarity triangle angle $\gamma$. We present results from simulation studies which show…
