A search for CP violation in the phase space of the decay $D^+\to\pi^-\pi^+\pi^+$ is reported using $pp$ collision data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb$^{-1}$, collected by the LHCb experiment at a centre-of-mass energy…
To observe CP-violating asymmetries through the interference of a weaker amplitude with a stronger one in $\bo \to D^{(*)} \pi$ and $\ob \to D^{(*)} \pi$ decays, one must collect enough events that the intensity associated with the weaker…
We present improved measurements of the branching fractions and CP asymmetries in the two-body decays B0 --> pi0 pi0, B0 --> K0 pi0 and B0 --> K+ pi- as well as the quasi two-body B0 --> K_1(1270)+ pi- and B0 --> K_1(1400)+ pi- decays.…

Charmless B->PP decays are studied using flavor SU(3) symmetry. Amplitude with charming penguin topology is considered for two cases: with zero and with arbitrary strong phase. Two sets of data (an older and the most recent one) are used in…
In the Standard Model (SM) charmless hadronic decays $B_s^0 \rightarrow \eta^\prime \eta$ proceed via tree-level $b\to u$ and penguin $b\to s$ transitions. Penguin transitions are sensitive to Beyond-the-Standard-Model (BSM) physics…
We study for the first time the three-body charmless baryonic decays $\bar B^0_s\to \bar p \Lambda M^+ (p \bar \Lambda M^-)$, with $M=\pi, K$. We find that the branching ratios of $\bar B^0_s\to (\bar p \Lambda K^+$ and $p\bar \Lambda K^-)$…

We study constraints on the CP violating phase $\gamma$ in the Kobayashi-Maskawa model using available experimental data. We first follow the conventional method to up date the constraint on $\gamma$ by performing a $\chi^2$ analysis using…

It is shown that it is possible to perform a model-independent extraction of the CKM Unitarity Triangle angle $\gamma$ using only the decays $B^0\to D K^+\pi^-$ with $D\to K^0_S\pi^+\pi^-$ and $B^0\to D K^+\pi^-$ with flavour-specific $D$…
