We propose a method for determining $\gamma$ using $B^\pm\to D K^\pm$ decays followed by a multibody $D$ decay, such as $D \to K_S \pi^-\pi^+$, $D \to K_S K^-K^+$ and $D \to K_S \pi^-\pi^+\pi^0$. The main advantages of the method is that it…

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 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 $M=a_0$, $\pi(1300)$, $b_1$, $a_2$, $\pi_2$,…

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…

The BaBar measurements of the Dalitz plots for B0 -> K+ pi0 pi-, B0 -> K0 pi+ pi-, B+ -> K+ pi+ pi-, B0 -> K+ K0 K-, and B0 -> K0 K0 Kbar0 decays are used to cleanly extract the weak phase gamma. We find four possible solutions:…

We re-examine the question of measuring the weak phase gamma in B -> K pi pi decays. To this end, we express all B -> K pi pi amplitudes in terms of diagrams. We show that, as in B -> K pi, there exist relations between certain tree and…

A simple relativistic model of heavy-light mesons is applied to the rare decay B -> K* gamma in the standard model. We find Gamma(B -> K* gamma)/Gamma(b -> s gamma)=(17 \pm 4)% and BR(B -> K* gamma)=(4.8 \pm 1.9) \times 10^{-5}(V_cb/.04)^2.…

It was recently pointed out that the decays B^+ --> D^{*+}_s gamma and B^+ --> D^{*+} gamma can be used for an extraction of |V_{ub}|. The theory of these decays is poorly understood. It was shown that in a world of almost degenerate b and…

The LHCb collaboration has studied various promising ways to determine the Unitarity Triangle angle $\gamma$. Three complementary methods will be considered. The potential of the $B \to DK^{(*)}$ decays has been studied by employing the…

The decay B^0 -> DK^{*0} is well-known to provide excellent potential for a precise measurement of the Unitarity Triangle angle gamma in future experiments. It is noted that the sensitivity can be significantly enhanced by studying the…

We present measurements of branching fractions and CP asymmetries of several B- -> D(*)0 K(*)- decays, with the D(*)0 decaying to CP-even, CP-odd, and flavor eigenstates, that can constrain the CP angle gamma as well as the amplitude ratio…

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…

The angle gamma of the standard CKM unitarity triangle can be determined from B -> D K decays with a very small irreducible theoretical error, which is only due to second-order electroweak corrections. We study these contributions and…

We search for B- ==> \tilde{D0}K- and B- ==> \tilde{D*0}K-, with \tilde{D*0} ==> \tilde{D0}pi0 or \tilde{D*0} ==> \tilde{D0}gamma, and \tilde{D0} ==> K+pi- (and charge conjugates). These final states can be reached through the b==>c…

We present a feasibility study for a new analysis for extracting the angle gamma of the Unitarity Triangle from the study of the neutral B meson decays. We reconstruct the decay channel B0 ->D0 K*0 with the K*0->K+pi- and the D0 -> KSpipi…

We suggest two methods (based on flavor SU(3) symmetry) to determine the CKM angle $\gamma$ using the decays $B_d$, $B^+ \to K \eta (\eta')$ and $B_s \to \pi \eta (\eta')$, respectively. Rescattering effects are partly included -- we…

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…

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…

Motivated by the experimental measurements of $D^0$ radiative decay modes we have proposed a model to study the $D^0\to \bar{K}^{*0}\gamma$ decay, by establishing a link with $D^0\to \bar{K}^{*0}V$ $(V=\rho^0,\, \omega)$ decays through the…
