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…
We suggest two methods (based on flavor SU(3) symmetry) to determine the CKM angle $\gamma$ using the decays $B_d$, $B^+ \to K \eta (\eta')$ and $B_s \to \pi \eta (\eta')$, respectively. Rescattering effects are partly included -- we…
We present a new method for measuring the CP phase \alpha. It requires the measurement of the pure penguin decays Bd(t) -> K(*) Kbar(*) and B_s -> K(*) Kbar(*). The method is quite clean: we estimate the theoretical uncertainty to be at…
We present the preliminary measurement of CP-violating asymmetries in B0->(rhopi)0->pi+pi-pi0 decays using a time-dependent Dalitz plot analysis. The results are obtained from a data sample of 213 million Y(4S)->BB-bar decays, collected by…
We propose a method to determine the phase motion of a complex amplitude in three body heavy meson decays. We show that the phase variation of a complex amplitude can be directly revealed through the interference observed in the Dalitz Plot…

We report a measurement of CP-violating asymmetries in B0-->(rhopi)0-->pi+pi-pi0 decays using a time-dependent Dalitz plot analysis. The results are obtained from a data sample of 375 million Y(4S) --> BBbar decays, collected by the BaBar…
The weak phase \gamma can be determined using untagged B^0\to DK_S or B_s\to D\phi, D\eta^{(')} decays. In the past, the small lifetime difference y\equiv \Delta\Gamma/(2\Gamma) has been neglected in B^0, while the CP violating parameter…
We test a data-driven approach based on QCD factorization for charmless three-body $B$-decays by confronting it to measurements of CP violation in $B^- \to \pi^- \pi^+ \pi^-$. While some of the needed non-perturbative objects can be…
We show that it is possible to determine the weak phase \gamma \equiv \arg (- V^*_{ub} V_{ud} / V^*_{cb} V_{cd}) of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa flavor mixing matrix only from the measurement of the color-allowed B^{\pm}_u \to D K^{\pm}…
We compute CP asymmetries of one-particle inclusive B(s) --> D(s) X decay rates. We find that the weak angle gamma could in principle be extracted from these asymmetries although they are very small. Taking the decay width difference into…
The potential for a precise measurement of the Unitarity Triangle angle $\gamma$ in future experiments from the decay $B^0 \to DK^{*0}$ is well-known. It has recently been suggested that the sensitivity can be significantly enhanced by…
This paper reviews the Dalitz plot analysis for the decays $B^0(\bar B^0) \to \rho \pi \to \pi^+ \pi^- \pi^0$. We discuss what can be learned about the ten parameters in this analysis from untagged and from tagged time-integrated data. We…

Three body heavy meson decays allows one to extract important quantities for flavour physic, however the phenomenological analysis has some open problems to be solved in order to make possible to extract physical parameters with precision.…
Recently B-factories have published new results on the $B \to K \eta \gamma$ decays being inspired by the theoretical suggestion to search for new physics in $B \to P_1 P_2 \gamma$ decays. Using heavy meson chiral perturbation theory we…

Isospin analysis has been used to constrain the CP-asymmetries in B -> pi pi decays. In particular correlation between a weak phase \theta and a strong phase \delta is obtained. Further using the experimental values for the CP-average…
We propose a new method to extract the CKM phase angle \gamma (\equiv \phi_3) from the isospin analysis in B \to K \pi decays. Unlike previously proposed methods, we do not employ flavor SU(3) symmetry, so that this method is free from the…
The study of local \cp \ asymmetry in Dalitz plots of charm (& beauty) decays gives us more information about the underlying dynamics than the ratio between total rates. In this paper we explore the consequences of the constraint from \cpt…
