In this talk I will discuss the extraction of the CKM angle $\gamma$ at B-factories through the interference of the subprocesses $B^-\to K^- D^0$ and $B^- \to K^-\bar D^0$. This seemingly impossible interference may be accomplished by…

The Gronau-London-Wyler (GLW) method extracts the CKM angle $\gamma$ by measuring $B^\pm$ decay rates involving $D^0/\overline D^0$ mesons. Since that method necessitates the interference between two amplitudes that are significantly…

We propose a new way for determining the CP violation angle $\gamma$ without any hadronic uncertainty. The suggested method is to use the two triangles formed by the decay amplitudes of $B^\pm\to (D^0,\bar D^0,D_{CP}^0)…

$B^\pm \to (D^0, \bar D^0, D_{CP})K^{*\pm}_{0,2}$ decays are helpful in determining the CP violation angle $\gamma$, and we analyze these decay processes within the perturbative QCD approach based on $k_T$ factorization. We found that the…

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…

We present the status of the measurement of the CKM CP-violating phase gamma (phi3) performed using B->D(*)K(*) decays. We review and compare the main experimental results.

We develop a method to measure the CKM angle $\gamma$ without hadronic uncertainties from the analysis of $B^\pm \to K^\pm D^0$ and $K^\pm \D0bar$ followed by singly Cabibbo-suppressed $D$ decays to non CP-eigenstates, such as $K^\pm…

We show that the CKM phase $2 \beta+\gamma$ can be extracted from measurement of the time dependent rates in the decays $\bar{B}^0 \to D^{(*)\pm} M^\mp$ and $B^0 \to D^{(*)\pm} M^\mp$, where $M=a_0$, $\pi(1300)$, $b_1$, $a_2$, $\pi_2$,…

Using the entire sample of 467 million Y(4S) --> BBbar decays collected with the BaBar detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy B factory at SLAC, we perform a "GLW" analysis of B+- --> D K+- decays, using decay modes in which the neutral D…

A first study of CP violation in the decay modes $B^\pm\to [K^0_{\rm S} K^\pm \pi^\mp]_D h^\pm$ and $B^\pm\to [K^0_{\rm S} K^\mp \pi^\pm]_D h^\pm$, where $h$ labels a $K$ or $\pi$ meson and $D$ labels a $D^0$ or $\overline{D}^0$ meson, is…

We first review the methods for determining gamma from B->D K decays that appeared after CKM 2008. We then discuss the theoretical errors in gamma extraction. The errors due to neglected D-Dbar and B_{d,s}-Bbar_{d,s} mixing can be avoided…

CP violation is observed to date only in K^0 decays and is parameterizable by a single quantity epsilon. Because it is one of the least understood phenomena in the Standard Model and holds a clue to baryogenesis, it must be investigated…
