We point out that the pure ``tree'' decays $B_c^\pm\to D^\pm_s D$ are particularly well suited to extract the CKM angle $\gamma$ through amplitude relations. In contrast to conceptually similar strategies using $B^\pm\to K^\pm D$ or $B_d\to…
A measurement of $C\!P$-violating observables in $B^{\pm} \to D^{*} K^{\pm}$ and $B^{\pm} \to D^{*} \pi^{\pm}$ decays is made where the photon or neutral pion from the $D^{*} \to D\gamma$ or $D^{*} \to D\pi^{0}$ decay is not reconstructed.…
After a brief look at the well-known standard approaches to determine the angle gamma of the unitarity triangle, we focus on two kinds of strategies, employing $B\to\pi K$ modes, and U-spin-related B decays. Interesting "puzzles", which may…
The current experimental uncertainty on the CKM unitarity triangle angle $\phi_3$ is significantly larger than that on the standard model prediction. A more precise measurement of $\phi_3$ is crucial for testing the SM description of $CP$…
We show that the CKM phase $2 \beta+\gamma$ can be extracted from measurement of the time dependent rates in the decays $\bar{B}^0 \to D^{(*)\pm} M^\mp$ and $B^0 \to D^{(*)\pm} M^\mp$, where $M=a_0$, $\pi(1300)$, $b_1$, $a_2$, $\pi_2$,…
A binned Dalitz plot analysis of $B^\pm \to D K^\pm$ decays, with $D\to K_\text{S}^0\pi^+\pi^-$ and $D\to K_\text{S}^0K^+K^-$, is used to perform a measurement of the CP-violating observables $x_{\pm}$ and $y_{\pm}$, which are sensitive to…
The decays $B_d\to\pi^\mp K^\pm$ and $B^\pm\to\pi^\pm K$ provide interesting constraints on the angle $\gamma$ of the unitarity triangle of the CKM matrix. It is shown that bounds on $\gamma$ can also be obtained from the time evolution of…
We introduce an unbinned method for extracting the CKM angle $\gamma$ from the decay chain $B^\pm \to (D \to K_S \pi^+ \pi^-) K^\pm$ using normalizing flows (NFs). The NFs, trained on $D$ decay data, learn a faithful continuous…
Quantum-correlated psi(3770)->DDbar decays collected by the CLEO-c experiment are used to perform first measurements of F+, the fractional CP-even content of the self-conjugate decays D->pi+pi-pi0 and D->K+K-pi0. Values of 0.968 +/- 0.017…
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…
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…
The BaBar measurements of the Dalitz plots for B0 -> K+ pi0 pi-, B0 -> K0 pi+ pi-, B+ -> K+ pi+ pi-, B0 -> K+ K0 K-, and B0 -> K0 K0 Kbar0 decays are used to cleanly extract the weak phase gamma. We find four possible solutions:…
We use data collected with the CLEO II detector to perform a high-statistics measurement of the resonant substructure in $D^0 \to K^-\pi^+\pi^0$ decays. We find the Dalitz Plot is well represented by a combination of seven quasi-two-body…
Dighe, Gronau and Rosner have shown that, by assuming SU(3) flavor symmetry and first-order SU(3) breaking, it is possible to extract the CP angles \alpha and \gamma from measurements of the decay rates of B_d^0(t) --> \pi^+\pi^-, B_d^0 -->…
We express the amplitudes for charmless three-body B decays in terms of diagrams. In addition, we show how to use Dalitz-plot analyses to obtain decay amplitudes which are symmetric or antisymmetric under the exchange of two of the…
We consider the possibility of extracting the CKM angle $\gamma$ with $B_c$ decays. The modes $B_c^\pm \to (D^0) D_s^\pm \to (K^{*+}K^-) D_s^\pm $ and $B_c^\pm \to (\bar D^0) D_s^\pm \to (K^{*+}K^-) D_s^\pm $ are found to be well suited for…
Utilizing all the experimental measured charmless $B \to PP$, $PV$ decay modes, where $P(V)$ denotes a light pseudoscalar (vector) meson, we extract the CKM angle $\gamma$ by global fit. All the unknown hadronic parameters are fitted with…
We propose a new method to extract the CP violating weak phase $\gamma$ (the phase of $V_{ub}^*$) in the CKM paradigm of the Standard Model, using $B^- \rightarrow D^0 \pi^- \rightarrow f \pi^-$ and $B^- \rightarrow \bar D^0 \pi^-…
We report results of the Dalitz analysis of the three-body charmless B->K+pi+pi- and B->K+K+K- decays based on a 140fb^{-1} data sample collected with the Belle detector. Measurements of branching fractions for quasi-two-body decays to…
Various methods are discussed for obtaining the CKM angle gamma through the interference of the charged B-meson decay channels B- -> K- D0 and B- -> K- D0-bar where the D0 and D0-bar decay to common final states. It is found that choosing…
