Several methods exist to measure $CP$ violation observables related to the $C\!K\!M$ angle $\gamma$. These observables are different for every $B$ meson decay channel. However, the information they contain on $\gamma$ is encoded in a…
Measurements of $CP$ observables in $B^\pm \to D K^\pm$ and $B^\pm \to D \pi^\pm$ decays are presented, where $D$ represents a superposition of $D^0$ and $\bar{D}^0$ states. The $D$ meson is reconstructed in the three-body final state…
The decay mode $B^{0}_{s} \to D^{\mp}_s K^{\pm}$ allows for one of the theoretically cleanest time dependent measurements of the CKM angle $\gamma$. This contribution reports the world best branching fraction of this decay relative to the…
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…
Decays of the type $B\to D hh^\prime$, where a $b$~hadron decays to a neutral charm meson that can be an admixture of $D^0$ and $\overline{D}{}^0$ states together with two light particles that are typically a kaon and a pion, have…
A binned Dalitz plot analysis of $B^\pm \to D K^\pm$ decays, with $D \to K^0_{\rm S} \pi^+\pi^-$ and $D \to K^0_{\rm S} K^+ K^-$, is performed to measure the CP-violating observables $x_{\pm}$ and $y_{\pm}$ which are sensitive to the CKM…

An overview of plans for the measurement of gamma at the LHCb experiment will be shown. The gamma angle is the least accurately known parameter of the CKM unitary triangle. The LHCb experiment at the CERN LHC aims to perform precision heavy…
A natural procedure is presented to measure the angle $\gamma$ from the decay $B^{\pm} \to \pi^{\pm}\pi^+\pi^-$. It is based in the Dalitz plot fitting analysis. Neither amplitudes nor strong phases have to be known a priori. We present…
Several authors have proposed methods to measure the phase $\gamma$ of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) unitarity triangle using decays of the type $B\to DK$. We show how to remove uncertainties from these measurements and increase their…
We review the first measurements of the CKM angle gamma from LHCb. These measurements have been performed with b-hadron decays dominated by b -> u and b -> c tree-level amplitudes, from which gamma can be determined without theoretical…
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 describe a method for measuring CP-violation parameters from which the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa angle $\gamma$ may be extracted. The method makes use of the total decay rates in $B^\pm \to DK^\pm$ decays, where the neutral $D$ meson…

A QCD relativistic potential model is employed to compute the decay rate and the photon spectrum of the process $B^- \to \mu^- {\bar \nu}_\mu \gamma$. The result ${\cal B}(B^- \to \mu^- {\bar \nu}_\mu \gamma) \simeq 1 \times 10^{-6}$…

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^-…
