We demonstrate how a time-dependent analysis of the decays $D^0 \to K^0_S K^\mp \pi^\pm$ can be used to determine the $D^0-\bar{D}^0$ mixing parameter $y$ with a precision that is competitive with established methods. The proposed analysis…

We give an overview of various determinations of $\gamma/\phi_3$ with the help of $B_s$ decays into charmed final states, distinguishing between transitions with tree and penguin contributions and pure tree decays. In the corresponding…

The measurement of $\sin {2\beta}$ from $B_d \to J/\psi K_s$ does not resolve the discrete ambiguities in the angle $\beta$. A measurement of $\cos {2\beta}$ is therefore desirable.This talk is about measuring the CKM angle $\beta(\phi_1)$…

Measurements of the effective lifetimes of $B_s$-meson decays, which only require untagged rate analyses, allow us to probe the width difference $\Delta\Gamma_s$ and the CP-violating phase $\phi_s$ of $B^0_s$-$\bar B^0_s$ mixing. We point…
