I briefly describe the use of the three-body decay modes $B^0 \to D^{(*)-} D^{(*)0} K^+$ to investigate open issues in charmed meson spectroscopy, and of the time dependent $B^0 (\bar {B^0}) (t) \to D^{-} D^{+} \pi^0$ transitions for a…
The processes $D^0\to K^0 K^-\pi^+$ and $D^0\to\ok K^+\pi^-$ involve intermediate vector resonances whose amplitudes and phases are related to each other via flavor SU(3) symmetry. A closer look at Dalitz plots for these two processes is…

We present Dalitz plot analyses for the decays of $B$ mesons to $D^- D^0 K^+$ and $\overline{D}^0 D^0 K^+$. We report the observation of the $D^{*}_{s1}(2700)^+$ resonance in these two channels and obtain measurements of the mass…

Two of the most powerful methods currently used to determine the angle $\gamma$ of the CKM Unitarity Triangle exploit $B^+ \to DK^+$, $D \to K_{\rm S}^0\pi^+\pi^-$ decays and $B^0 \to DK^+\pi^-$, $D \to K^+K^-$, $\pi^+\pi^-$ decays. It is…
