Abstract

We propose a new way for determining the CP violation angle γ\gamma without any hadronic uncertainty. The suggested method is to use the two triangles formed by the decay amplitudes of B±(D0,Dˉ0,DCP0)K0(2)±(1430)B^\pm\to (D^0,\bar D^0,D_{CP}^0) K^{*\pm}_{0(2)}(1430). The advantages are that large CP asymmetries are expected in these processes and only singly Cabibbo-suppressed DD decay modes are involved. Measurements of the branching fractions of the neutral BdB_d decays into DK0(2)(1430)DK^{*}_{0(2)}(1430) and the time-dependent CP asymmetries in Bs(D0,Dˉ0)MB_s\to (D^0, \bar D^0) M (M=f0(980),f0(1370),f2(1525),f1(1285),f1(1420),h1(1180))M=f_0(980),f_0(1370), f_2'(1525), f_1(1285), f_1(1420), h_1(1180)) provide an alternative way to extract the angle γ\gamma, which will increase the statistical significance.
