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…

A binned Dalitz plot analysis of $B^\pm \to D K^\pm$ decays, with $D \to K_S \pi^+\pi^-$ and $D \to K_S K^+ K^-$, is performed to measure the \CP-violating observables $x_{\pm}$ and $y_{\pm}$, which are sensitive to the…

The first observations of $B^0\rightarrow\overline{D}^{*}(2007)^{0}K^{+}\pi^{-}$ and $B_s^0\rightarrow\overline{D}^{*}(2007)^{0}K^{-}\pi^{+}$ decays are presented, and their branching fractions relative to that of the…

Recently, it was proposed to use measurements of Bd(t) -> D(*)+ D(*)- and Bd -> Ds(*)+ D(*)- decays to measure the CP phase gamma. In this paper, we present the extraction of gamma using this method. We find that gamma is favored to lie in…

A binning scheme is proposed for $D^0 \to K^+\pi^-\pi^-\pi^+ $ phase space that will improve the sensitivity of a $B^- \to DK^-$ analysis to the angle $\gamma$ of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa Unitarity Triangle. The scheme makes use of…

We discuss new, theoretically clean strategies to determine the angle $\gamma$ of the unitarity triangle from $B_d\to DK_{S(L)}$, $B_s\to D\eta^{(')}, D\phi, ...$ decays, and point out that the $B_s\to DK_{S(L)}$ and $B_d\to D\pi^0,…

We propose a new method for measuring the CKM phase gamma using the partial rates for CP-tagged Bs decays. Such an experiment could be performed at a very high luminosity symmetric e+e- collider operating at the Upsilon(5S) resonance, where…

The most sensitive method to measure the CKM angle gamma is to exploit interference in B(+/-)->DK(+/-) decays, with the D-meson decaying to a hadronic final state. The analysis of quantum-correlated decays of the psi(3770) at CLEO-c…

To observe CP-violating asymmetries through the interference of a weaker amplitude with a stronger one in $\bo \to D^{(*)} \pi$ and $\ob \to D^{(*)} \pi$ decays, one must collect enough events that the intensity associated with the weaker…

The coherence factor and average strong phase difference of D0 and D0bar decay amplitudes to the same final state play an important role in the precision determination of the CKM parameter gamma using B- -> DK- and related decay modes. So…

We study the decay B0->D*+D*-Ks using (230 +/- 2) x 10^{6} BBbar pairs collected by the Babar detector at the PEP-II B factory. We measure a branching fraction B(B0->D*+D*-Ks)=(4.4\pm0.4\pm0.7)\times 10^{-3} and find evidence for the decay…

Strategies that utilise the interference effects within $B^{\pm} \to DK^{\pm}$ decays hold great potential for improving our sensitivity to the CKM angle $\gamma$. However, in order to exploit fully this potential, detailed knowledge of the…

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)…

We present preliminary results of a search for the decays B+ -> rho+ gamma, B0 -> rho0 gamma, and B0 -> omega gamma. The analysis is based on data containing 347 million BB events recorded with the BaBar detector at the PEP-II B factory. We…

The branching fractions of the exclusive decays $B^0\to K^{*0}\gamma$ and $B^+ \to K^{*+}\gamma$ are measured from a sample of $(22.74\pm 0.36)\times 10^6$ $B\bar B$ decays collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP II asymmetric…

In view of recent experimental progress in rate and CP asymmetry measurements in $B^{\pm} \to DK^{\pm}$, we reconsider information on the weak phase $\gamma$ which can be obtained from these processes. Model-independent inequalities are…

We propose two independent methods to determine the CKM phase $\gamma$ and the tree and penguin amplitudes using neutral $B$ decays, assuming that the phase $\beta$ is known. Based on flavor SU(3) symmetry and SU(3) breaking effect, one…

The decay channels $B_d^0 \to D^{*0} K^{*0}$ are investigated for extracting weak $CKM$ phase information. These channels are described by color-suppressed tree diagrams only and are free from penguin contributions. The branching ratios for…

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…

A natural procedure is presented to measure the angle $\gamma$ from the decay $B^{\pm} \to \pi^{\pm}\pi^+\pi^-$. It is based in the Dalitz plot fitting analysis. Neither amplitudes nor strong phases have to be known a priori. We present…
