A new and simple procedure to measure the angle $\gamma$ from $B^{\pm} \to \pi^{\pm}\pi^+\pi^-$ and $B^{\pm} \to K^{\pm}\pi^+\pi^-$ decays using SU(3) symmetry is presented. It is based on a full Dalitz plot analysis of these decays. All…

We propose a new method to extract the CP violating weak phase $\gamma$ in the CKM paradigm of the Standard Model, using $B^- \to D^0 \pi^- \to f \pi^-$ and $B^- \to \bar D^0 \pi^- \to f \pi^-$ decays, where $f$ are final states such as…
A time-dependent analysis of the $B_s^0 \to \phi\gamma$ decay rate is performed to determine the $CP$-violating observables $S_{\phi\gamma}$ and $C_{\phi\gamma}$, and the mixing-induced observable $\mathcal{A}^{\Delta}_{\phi\gamma}$. The…

We study CP violation in b-baryon decays of $\Xi_b^- \to \Xi^- D$ with $D = D^0, \bar{D}^0$ and $D_i~(i=1,2)$. We find that these baryonic decay processes provide an ideal opportunity to measure the weak phase due to the absence of the…
Measurements of the $B_s^0$ effective lifetime in decays to CP-odd and CP-even flavour specific final states allow to probe the width difference $\Delta \Gamma_s$ and the CP-violating phase $\phi_s$ of $B^0_s-\bar{B}^0_s$ mixing…
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…
As we pointed out recently, the neutral decays $B_d\to\pi^\mp K^\pm$ and $B_d\to\pi^0K$ may provide non-trivial bounds on the CKM angle $\gamma$. In this paper, we reconsider this approach in the light of recent CLEO data, which look very…
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…
