We show that a CP-violating phase can be model-independently determined from the time-independent measurement of coherent B^0_s\bar{B}^0_s decays into (D^{(*)\pm}_s K^{(*)\mp})(D^{(*)\pm}_s K^{(*)\mp}) states at the \Upsilon (5S) resonance.…

A binned Dalitz plot analysis of $B^\pm \to D K^\pm$ decays, with $D\to K_\text{S}^0\pi^+\pi^-$ and $D\to K_\text{S}^0K^+K^-$, is used to perform a measurement of the CP-violating observables $x_{\pm}$ and $y_{\pm}$, which are sensitive to…

We explored various cases for the branching ratios (BRs) of $B_s\to K^+K^-$, $B_s\to K^0\bar{K}^0$ and $B_d\to \pi^+ \pi^-$ decays. We study the possibility of determining $\gamma $ by using the following the measurements: (a) BRs of…

The ratio of partial decay rates for charged and neutral $B$ mesons to $K \pi$ final states provides information on the weak phase $\gamma \equiv {\rm Arg} (V_{ub}^*)$ when augmented with information on the CP-violating asymmetry in the…

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 $D^0\to \pi^+ \pi^-$.…

The weak phase $\gamma$ is extracted from three-body charmless decays of $B$ mesons following a method proposed by Bhattacharya, Imbeault \& London. The result is obtained by combining the BABAR amplitude analyses for the processes $B^0…

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…

We note that it is possible to determine the weak phase \gamma from the time dependent measurements of the decays $B_s^0(t) (\bar B_s^0 (t)) \to \bar D^0 \phi without any hadronic uncertainties. These decays are described by the color…

The measurement of the time-dependent CP-asymmetry of $B^0 \to K_S^0 \pi^+ \pi^- \gamma$ decays is sensitive to contributions from physics beyond the Standard Model. To translate this measurement into a constraint on new physics, it is…

The current status of some methods to determine the weak phase $\gamma$ of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix element $V^*_{ub}$ using B decays is discussed, and comments are made on accuracy achievable in the next few years.

We report a determination of the CKM angle $\phi_{3}$, also known as $\gamma$, from a combination of measurements using samples of up to 711~fb$^{-1}$ from the Belle experiment and up to 362~fb$^{-1}$ from the Belle II experiment. We…

We point out that in decays of the type $B^- \to D^* K^-$, where the neutral $D^*$ meson is an admixture of $D^{*0}$ and $\bar{D}^{*0}$, there is an effective strong phase difference of $\pi$ between the cases that the $D^*$ is…

Using 482 pb$^{-1}$ of data taken at $\sqrt{s}=4.009$ GeV, we measure the branching fractions of the decays of $D^{*0}$ into $D^0\pi^0$ and $D^0\gamma$ to be $\BR(D^{*0} \to D^0\pi^0)=(65.5\pm 0.8\pm 0.5)%$ and $\BR(D^{*0} \to…

We have observed a signal for the decay D*+ -> D+ gamma at a significance of 4 standard deviations. From the measured branching ratio B(D*+ -> D+ gamma)/B(D*+ -> D+ pi0)=0.055 +- 0.014 +- 0.010 we find B(D*+ -> D+ gamma)= 0.017 +- 0.004 +-…

It is shown that the weak phase gamma=arg(-V_{ud}V^*_{ub}V_{cb}V_{cd}^*) can be determined using only untagged decays B/Bbar--> D K_S. In order to reduce the uncertainty in gamma, we suggest combining information from B^{+-}--> DK^{+-} and…
