The $B_s \to D_s^{(*)\pm} K^\mp$ decays allow a theoretically clean determination of $\phi_s+\gamma$, where $\phi_s$ is the $B^0_s$-$\bar B^0_s$ mixing phase and $\gamma$ the usual angle of the unitarity triangle. A sizable $B_s$ decay…

The formulae for D^0-\bar{D}^0 or B^0-\bar{B}^0 mixing and CP violation at the \tau-charm or B-meson factories are derived, for the case that only the decay-time distribution of one D or B meson is to be measured. In particular, we point…
