The time-dependent $CP$ asymmetry in $B^0 \to K_{\rm res} \gamma \to \pi^+ \pi^- K^0_{\scriptscriptstyle S} \gamma$ is sensitive to the photon polarisation in the quark level process $b \to s \gamma$. While this polarisation is…

We present the results of a simulation study to perform the extraction of 2beta+gamma from B0->D+KsPi- decays through a time-dependent Dalitz analysis of BaBar data.

Final state phases \delta_f and \delta_f' in B-> D pi, barD pi decays are shown to be equal i.e. \delta =\delta_f-\delta_f' = 0. Thus CP-violating asymmetry A(t) is independent of final state phases. The estimate for the phases \delta_f and…

The resonant substructure in D0 --> K0S pi+ pi- decays is described by a combination of ten quasi two-body intermediate states which include both CP-even and CP-odd eigenstates and one doubly-Cabibbo suppressed channel. We present a…

Based on 2.92 fb$^{-1}$ of $e^+e^-$ collision data collected with the BESIII detector at $\sqrt{s}$ = 3.773 GeV, we measured the asymmetry $\mathcal{A}_{CP\to K\pi}$ of the branching fractions of $D^{CP\pm}\to K^-\pi^+$ ($D^{CP\pm}$ are the…

The physics potential of measuring $B^0_{(s)}\to\pi^0\pi^0$ and $B^0_{(s)}\to\eta\eta$ decays via four-photon final states at Tera-$Z$ phase of CEPC or FCC-ee is investigated in this paper. We propose an electromagnetic calorimeter (ECAL)…

The usefulness of the $B_s^0 \to D_s^-a_1^+, D_s^- \to \phi \pi^- \to K^+K^-\pi^-, a_1^+ \to \rho^0 \pi^+ \to \pi^+ \pi^- \pi^+$ decay chain is investigated for the $B_s$-reconstruction in the future ATLAS $B_s$-mixing experiment. It is…

We explore the exclusive $ B^0 \to \rho^0 \gamma$ decay to obtain the time-dependent CP asymmetry in $b \to d \gamma$ decay process. We find that the complex RL and RR mass insertion to the squark sector in the MSSM can lead to a large…

The determination of the angle $\gamma$ of the unitarity triangle of the CKM matrix is a challenge for the $B$-factories. In this context, $B\to\pi K$ decays received a lot of attention, providing various interesting ways to constrain and…

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…

Relative phases of amplitudes for $D$ meson decays to a light pseudoscalar meson $P$ and a light vector meson $V$ decaying to two pseudoscalar mesons will lead to characteristic interferences on the three-body Dalitz plot. These phases may…

For the first time, the strong phase difference between $D^0$ and $\bar{D}^0\to\pi^+\pi^-\pi^+\pi^-$ amplitudes is determined in bins of the decay phase space. The measurement uses $818\,\mathrm{pb}^{-1}$ of $e^+e^-$ collision data that is…

A new method to extract the weak phase $\gamma$ is suggested by exploiting B ---> D K^{(*)} decay modes that are not Cabibbo suppressed, using the isospin relations, and ignoring the annihilation diagram as usual. Assuming $3 \times 10^8…

We propose for the first time a method to perform analysis of time-dependent CP asymmetries in charm by using both, correlated and un-correlated $D^0$ mesons. Here we consider the decay channels $D^0\to K^+ K^-$ and $D^0\to \pi^+ \pi^-$.…

We report on an improved measurement of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa {\it CP}-violating phase $\gamma$ through a Dalitz plot analysis of neutral $D$ meson decays to $K_S^0 \pi^+ \pi^-$ and $K_S^0 K^+ K^-$ in the processes $B^\mp \to D…

We prove an approximate relation, to leading order in dominant terms, between CP-violating rate differences in $B^0/\bar{B}^0 \to K^{\pm}\pi^{\mp}$ and $B^{\pm} \to K^{\pm}\pi^0$. We show how data from these two processes may be combined in…

We report a study of the suppressed $B^-\to DK^-\pi^+\pi^-$ and favored $B^-\to D\pi^-\pi^+\pi^-$ decays, where the neutral $D$ meson is detected through its decays to the $K^{\mp}\pi^{\pm}$ and CP-even $K^+K^-$ and $\pi^+\pi^-$ final…

We report the observation of the decay $B^- \to D_{\pi^+\pi^-\pi^0} K^-$, where $D_{\pi^+\pi^-\pi^0}$ indicates a neutral $D$ meson detected in the final state $\pi^+\pi^-\pi^0$, excluding $K_S \pi^0$. This doubly Cabibbo-suppressed decay…
