The presence of a sizeable CP-violating phase in B_s^0-B_s^0-bar mixing would be an unambiguous signal of physics beyond the Standard Model. We analyse various possibilities to detect such a new phase considering both tagged and untagged…
The D^0 mixing parameter y = Delta Gamma/2 Gamma was determined by measuring the D^0 lifetime separately for the K^-pi^+ decay mode and the K^-K^+ decay mode with 12.4 fb^{-1} of data collected by the BABAR experiment in 2001. Backgrounds…
CP-violating asymmetries in $B \to \pi \pi$ and $B \to \rho \rho$ decays can help specify the weak phase $\phi_2 = \alpha$ of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-% Maskawa (CKM) matrix. We discuss the impact of improved measurements of these processes…
The constraints on the value of the CKM phase gamma that may be achieved by prospective measurements of sin(2 beta) and sin(2 beta + gamma) are discussed. Significant constraints require quite small errors, and may depend on assumptions…

We present a method for cleanly extracting the CP phase gamma from the Dalitz plots of B+ -> K+ pi+ pi-, Bd -> K+ pi0 pi-, Bd -> K0 pi+ pi-, Bd -> K+ K0 K-, and Bd -> K0 K0 Kbar0. The B -> K pi pi and B -> K K Kbar decays are related by…
The first observation of the decays $\bar{B}^0_{s}\to D_s^+K^-\pi^+\pi^-$ and $\bar{B}^0\to D_s^+K^-\pi^+\pi^-$ are reported using an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb$^{-1}$ recorded by the LHCb experiment. The branching fractions,…
A quadrangle relation is shown to be satisfied by the amplitudes for $B^+ \to \pi^0 K^+,~\pi^+ K^0,~\eta K^+$, and $\eta' K^+$. By comparison with the corresponding relation satisfied by $B^-$ decay amplitudes, it is shown that the relative…
It is shown that it is possible to perform a model-independent extraction of the CKM Unitarity Triangle angle $\gamma$ using only the decays $B^0\to D K^+\pi^-$ with $D\to K^0_S\pi^+\pi^-$ and $B^0\to D K^+\pi^-$ with flavour-specific $D$…
We propose a method to determine the angle $\gamma=arg(V_{ub})$, using the $B\to D^*V$ ($V=K^*, \rho$) modes. The $D^*$ is considered to decay to $D \pi$. An interference of the $B \to D^{*0}V$ and $B \to \bar {D^{*0}}V$ amplitudes is…
Using a data sample of 89 million Y(4s)-->B0B0bar decays collected with the BaBar detector at the PEP-II asymmetric B Factory at SLAC, we measure the B0(B0bar)-->rho+rho- branching fraction as $(30\pm 4 stat \pm 5 syst) \times 10^{-6}$ and…
The Belle experiment has measured the CKM angle $\gamma$ in a variety of ways. In this paper, we focused on the recent progress of time-dependent $\gamma$ analysis and the related measurements in Belle.

We point out that decays of the kind $B_d\to D_\pm K_{S(L)}$ and $B_s\to D_\pm\eta^{(')},D_\pm\phi, ...$, where $D_+$ and $D_-$ denote the CP-even and CP-odd eigenstates of the neutral D-meson system, respectively, provide very efficient,…
Asymmetries in the time-dependent rates of $D^0 \to K^+K^-$ and $D^0 \to \pi^+\pi^-$ decays are measured in a $pp$ collision data sample collected with the LHCb detector during LHC Run 1, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of…
