The LHCb approach for a precise determination of the CKM angle $\gamma$ from tree--level decays is presented. Up to 16 independent determinations, using a variety of beauty and charm mesons decay modes, are available at LHCb. Not all of…
We present a measurement of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa CP-violating phase gamma with a Dalitz plot analysis of neutral D-meson decays to the Ks pi- pi+ final state from B-+ -> D(*) K-+ and B-+ -> D K*-+ decays, using a sample of 227…
A sensitivity study for the measurement of the CKM angle $\gamma$ from $B^0_s\rightarrow \tilde{D}^{(*)0}\phi$ decays is performed using $D$ meson reconstructed in the quasi flavour-specific modes $K\pi$, $K3\pi$, $K\pi\pi^0$, and…
Dighe, Gronau and Rosner have shown that, by assuming SU(3) flavor symmetry and first-order SU(3) breaking, it is possible to extract the CP angles \alpha and \gamma from measurements of the decay rates of B_d^0(t) --> \pi^+\pi^-, B_d^0 -->…

The decay rates for $B^0 \to K^+ \pi^-$, $B^+ \to K^0 \pi^+$, and the charge-conjugate processes were found to provide information on the weak phase $\gamma \equiv {\rm Arg}(V_{ub}^*)$ when the ratio $r$ of weak tree and penguin amplitudes…
