$D-\bar D$ mixing is the source of the largest theoretical uncertainty in the extraction of $\gamma$ from $B\to D K$ decays. In the Standard Model, the mixing can have a rate close to its current experimental upper bound and is…

We demonstrate that partial wave amplitudes extracted from $D^+\to K^-\pi^+\pi^+$ Dalitz plot with a unitary coupled-channel model are significantly different from those obtained with an isobar model. The unitary coupled-channel model takes…

Normalizing flows model a complex target distribution in terms of a bijective transform operating on a simple base distribution. As such, they enable tractable computation of a number of important statistical quantities, particularly…

To date, the weak-phase $\gamma$ has been measured using two-body $B$-meson decays such as $B\to D K$ and $B\to D\pi$, whose amplitudes contain only tree-level diagrams. But $\gamma$ can also be extracted from three-body charmless hadronic…

The decays $B^\pm\to \pi^\pm K$ and $B_d\to \pi^\mp K^\pm$ were observed by the CLEO collaboration last year; they may play an important role to probe the angle $\gamma$ of the unitarity triangle of the CKM matrix. After a general…

The angle $\gamma$ of the standard CKM unitarity triangle can be determined from tree-level $B$-meson decays essentially without hadronic uncertainties. We calculate the second-order electroweak corrections for the $B \to D \pi$ modes and…

The photon polarization in $D_{(s)} \to K_1 (\to K\pi\pi) \gamma$ decays can be extracted from an up-down asymmetry in the $K \pi \pi$ system, along the lines of the method known to $B \to K_1 (\to K\pi\pi) \gamma$ decays. Charm physics is…
